From the last message, before this one, from you, in this group:
References: <MPG.110daeeee02b7848989695@lugnet.com>
<F5rxLJ.51w@lugnet.com> <MPG.110dcbc75dc57857989697@lugnet.com>
<36a3f1cd.6082449@lugnet.com> <36A3FB08.26097EEA@voyager.net>
_that's_ how a reader knows how to thread them.
And as far as how the numbers are generated: Todd? :) Possibly a
sequence, or something with time encoded, or whatever...
HTH.
