Global: ^XMB(3.9

MESSAGE NUMBER in file 4.3, MailMan Site Parameters, for more information.

Numbers appear in the "Query" listing for the message, as @, where  is the message number for this message, and  is the name of the domain, as defined in the file 4.3.  This

combination of number and domain name uniquely identifies ALL messages in the mailman network, and editing control is such that no two copies of the message at different domains are different; the message is either

identical or missing.

UNEDITABLE

This is the subject of the message, and is shown whenever the message is displayed.  Leading and trailing blanks are deleted.  Any sequence of 3 or more blanks is reduced to 2 blanks.

If the message happens to be a local reply, the message subject will be "R" followed by the message number of the original message for which this is a response.  This text contains ~U~ if the subject contains an up-arrow.

due to equipment failure or illness of the sender, the time of the first send, rather than the time message editing began, is retained.

contrary, the clear text version of the date of the remote message is placed in this field.

This message will be set for all recipients to automatically delete on this date.

This cross reference keeps track of messages that have already been received from other sites.

This index is used to retrieve remote messages which have been transmitted from other domains.  For example, if message 123 from loma-linda has been sent to another site, that other site could inquire against message ID

"loma-linda@123", to find out if the message had been received yet.

This index is also used to prevent messages from looping around the network.  The MailMan receiver will not allow the same message to be received twice at the same site.
