The only major change that might occur is changing from a numeric

re-created.
Umm, err, ooooo! Please! Pretty please! Please sir!
Since this requires some restructuring of the code, it may not be
done for sometime. And if done, it should probably be a
configurable option since some users like the numbering system and
for some operating systems, the filenaming limitations may not
make using message-ids as filenames possible.
Good point.
