#3 [09/23] subject line file tagging

Most modern usenet binary posters, when posting a thread of 23 related files, tag the subject lines with (as an example) [09/23].

This is different than the (23/89) tagging already accomplished to group articles together which comprise a single file; this is to group together all files within a fileset/thread.

It would be nice if ypost supported this behavior as an optional feature since it is desirable for a variety of reasons:

1. this tagging helps usenet users and indexing services determine that a fileset is complete

2. some braindead web-based indexing services don't follow threads to determine file groupings and instead rely entirely on subject line patterns. These services will often not correlate files (even from a single thread) if their articles' subjects do not employ the [09/23] tagging technique.

Thanks
