Grepping and parsing the msgnum to the right format ofcourse does it, 
but.. I should only grep the zeros before anything else and
not grep msgnum 00000. Ehh. Has anyone else had the same kinda problem?

Yeah. Here's the magic :-)

o09(0) ~ > perl -e '$num="0000000"; $num=~s/^0*(\d+)/\1/; print "$num\n"'
0
o09(0) ~ > perl -e '$num="0000042"; $num=~s/^0*(\d+)/\1/; print "$num\n"'
42
