Thus spake Jon Steinhart:
You know, unless I'm missing something, the holes in our messages
numbers could be considered a bug.
This is absolutely not a bug; it's part of a good user interface. It
means that once you know the number of a message you can do things to
it without having to constantly re-scan or re-pick to find it.
Repeatability and habituation are important elements of user interface
design that many seem to not have learned.
I frequently use nmh exactly this way: I have a scan in one terminal,
and refer to the message numbers in it while working in another
terminal. If messages were renumbered every time I refiled one, I
would be constantly re-scanning instead of dealing with my mail.
