The users who are requesting it on my lists are the ones set to DIGEST.
They would like the "table of contents" at the beginning of the digest
to contain a posting number and the poster's name or email address.
 
Based on this info they can decide if they'd like to read a post and then
go directly to it by searching for the posting number - even if there are
other posts with the same subject.  Listprocessor seems to do this.
