Yes, the 80,000 does include all the bounced messages that come back to
SELMA. Mailbox full, et cetera. That's why the message numbers in the
archive skip numbers. Some good refinements would be a GET that only
retrieved outgoing messages, and/or a similar feature for the archive
script.

The original context was that bobr said in 81447:

Finally, some of the questions will have been answered before. It is
fine refer me/readers to a particular message already on the list that
has both question and answer using the {X-SELMA: [REBOL] dddddd}
number.
}
And I was just mentioning (in 88440) why that was useful, and that you
can also retrieve the HTML version of archived messages using the
message number. So it's a handy way to refer to an old message (e.g.
FAQ), or six, without reposting.
e.g.
