[PATCH] add message counters to Subject line

[ I am not on the list so please leave me in the CC on this thread ]
After doing this 'patch' you can specify a single %d anywhere in subject_prefix (ie the 'Prefix for subject line of list postings') and it will be magically replaced to the post_id (ie the message index).
BTW, where is the post_id stored? Can I updated it from the command line with some (less)? standard tool?
I have tested with formats of type '[LIST (%d)]' for subject_prefix. I would not be surprised if some strange formats may screw up my regular expresions... today is my first day writing Python :)
Ex: Say you have a list with subject_prefix set to '[LIST (%d)]' The first post will have a subject of:
Subject: [LIST (1)] the real subject line
The reply to this will hold:
Subject: Re: [LIST (2)] the real subject line
The reply to that will hold:
Subject: Re: [LIST (3)] the real subject line
And so on.
Regards, Bart.

Hi, Take a look at the Mailman-dev archives page, we have a 2006-April line there with only one message. Perhaps I'm missing sth! Kind regars.
