Numbering of Transferred Messages

 

When messages are transferred, they appear to have the same dates but to have the numbers changed. Right? Any reason why?

If two lists are combined, what happens to the numbers. Are messages always sorted by date so the number doesn¡¯t matter? We would like to combine 2 large lists and a couple of smaller lists.

I never got an answer to this. Should I send it to another list?

So much is new to all.

I think the numbers are assigned as they are entered into the group, so totally unrelated to the number they had on Y!

If you merge several groups, the first transferred will have the lowest numbers.? The second transfer will start where the first one stopped and so on.? The sorting will be by date and properly interspersed though.
