Quoting Todd Aiken <taiken@ubishops.ca>:

| Silly question, but what is the # sign column supposed to be in the
| INBOX message listing?  My numbers don't appear in any specific
| order... they seem to be random, even when I try to sort on this column.
| Is it possible to remove this column from the listing?  When I tried the
| demo site, I don't get this column.
| 

It is the index of the message by arrival time (i.e. 1 is the earliest 
received message, the largest number is the most recent message).  The date 
field is whatever the message says its date is - this is not always 100% 
accurate - see spam for example.
