[Ti] humble request

[Brett V. Gaspers]

Did you ever happen to consider that when people quote all this 
extraneous garbage, that people on digest mode have to wade through 
even reams of text? Making the signal to noise ratio of this list 
even lower than it already is (which isn't saying much). This isn't 
an issue of bandwidth, it is an issue of readibility.

It would help if this list would identify messages by number in the 
digest index so that it would be easy to scroll to messages of 
interest while ignoring the frequent dreck that comes up. Many other 
lists I subscribe to in digest do this.
