The previous guidance to use the command '[mailing list
name]+get-[mailing list message number] is good for digest mode
messages of small quantities of messages. However, the failure to add
the message number to each message is not good. For example, the
appearance of a recent 'discuss' digest-mode message is as follows:

Hello,
...
In this example it would be easy to understand that the first message
corresponds to message '7328'. However, this is weak when digest-mode
messages contain many messages. For example, a recent digest-mode
message for R shows the following initial contents:
Send R-help mailing list submissions to
r-h...@r-project.org
To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit
https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to
r-help-requ...@r-project.org
You can reach the person managing the list at
r-help-ow...@r-project.org
When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific
than "Re: Contents of R-help digest..."

Notice how each message in the digest-mode starts with the message number:
------------------------------
Message: 30
Date: Fri, 22 Jul 2011 08:55:54 -0700
From: Peter Ehlers <ehl...@ucalgary.ca>
To: Bert Gunter <gunter.ber...@gene.com>
Cc: "r-h...@r-project.org" <r-h...@r-project.org>, marcel
<marcelcur...@gmail.com>
Subject: Re: [R] Lattice: place ticks only on y-axis
Message-ID: <4e299d8a.9010...@ucalgary.ca>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
...
Now if I wanted to retrieve message 30 is the LO mailing list manager,
without the message number shown before each message, I would have to
count manually where I think each message begins and ends, in order to
retrieve the correct message, so I can reply and avoid breaking the
message thread.
If possible, please add the message number as the first line of each
message in digest-mode.
