Of course, that would break any "threading" your mail-client tried to
do. Most of us might find that even more confusing.
This is OT, I know, but the Archival system /does/ assign a "msg####"
tag. I suspect that this takes place /after/ the message has already been
distributed; but, If the mailman could be smart about capturing it, the
correct headers IMNSHO are:
"Resent-From: Cygwin@Cygwin.com"
"Resent-Message-ID: yadda-yadda-YADDA.msg####"
OBTW: Speaking of mail headers; everyone should make sure when they reply
that the list is among the addressees. I've been bit several times lately
-- I wind up in a private conversation when the public forum could be much
more profitable.

Most of us only vaguely recall that there was such a message - we don't
know the number until we actually do the search ourselves that you could be
doing!
