If you mean that the message number in the archives (e.g., 00229 from <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-03/msg00229.html>) is not the one you use, then yes, that's absolutely true. If, however, the number in the Return-Path header of a Cygwin list message is not the number that you'd use to retrieve that message, then I've completely misunderstood what ezmlm documentation I've read. I know that with sublists present, the sequence numbers may be different, but, IIUC, the Cygwin lists don't utilize the sublist mechanism. Also, some systems may strip out the Return-Path header, but if it's present, it should provide the right message number, right?
