16 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.
