I've done that, and I'll look again, but I don't recall seeing what I |
17 |
need. What that help message does have is a command for requesting the |
18 |
list server to resend a message based on message number. That fails |
19 |
for me, as the resend bounces for the same reason the original bounced, |
20 |
even if I don't know exactly what that was. I've tried it numerous |
21 |
times, and have never received the requested resend. I need a way to |
22 |
find the message through the web interface of the list archives - but |
23 |
that works by message-id, not message number, thus my need to |
24 |
translate. |
