It's a convient way to refer to a prior message without reposting it,
as in "get msg 88238 for Carl's latest post about /View" -- which if
you didn't want to wait for SELMA is also available at
http://rebol.org/userlist/archive/88/238.html .
To scroll through some recent messages, you can visit the mailing list
archives at http://rebol.org/userlist/html/index.html .
One problem with a very active list like this is the sheer volume of
messages. As you might guess from the msg number, there have been over
80,000 posts!

But then, if you're getting the number from the header, don't you
already
have a copy of the mail? If you don't have a copy of the mail you
want,
how do you know which number to ask for?
