Hi all. Due to space limitations I've recently begun editing the notebook files of my list. Most of the time I'm reducing the headers and extensive quotations that subscribers have included in messages. On a few occasions I innocently deleted entire messages, thinking that the database functions would merely renumber the messages. However I've now begun to get complaints from users who subscribe using the INDEX option (where one requests postings by message number) that the messages numbers no longer correspond to the messages indicated on the INDEX mailings. Apparently I've done a grave error. This gives me the opportunity to ask: how can I correct this? Is there some kind of "renumber" command or must I try to figure out which messages I deleted so that I can replace them? Further, looking at the log files, how EXACTLY does Listserv determine where the new messages begin? Is it that line of = signs?
