Have you looked at using $TSCLICE$ in messages to help your readers? I
added support for this resource variable in the hopes it may be useful,
but I do not know if anybody is using it. The sample frames archive at
the MHonArc site uses it.
With $TSCLICE$, readers that are following a thread may not have to
utilize the the thread index while reading the thread since a "window"
of the thread index can be displayed on the message page.
