[ I am not on the list so please leave me in the CC on this thread ]

After doing this 'patch' you can specify a single %d anywhere in
subject_prefix (ie the 'Prefix for subject line of list postings') and it
will be magically replaced to the post_id (ie the message index).

BTW, where is the post_id stored?  Can I updated it from the command line
with some (less)? standard tool?

I have tested with formats of type '[LIST (%d)]' for subject_prefix.
I would not be surprised if some strange formats may screw up my regular
expresions... today is my first day writing Python :)

Ex: Say you have a list with subject_prefix set to '[LIST (%d)]'
The first post will have a subject of:

	Subject: [LIST (1)] the real subject line

The reply to this will hold:

	Subject: Re: [LIST (2)] the real subject line

The reply to that will hold:

	Subject: Re: [LIST (3)] the real subject line

And so on.

Regards,
Bart.
