In principle, that is no problem. In practice, I probably will leave 
this place later this year, at which point this machine will go away, 
too. Swiki.gsug.org will be moved to another box, but I can not 
guarantee yet that the sqfixes archive will continue to work in its 
current form.

So, in any case, it would be better if you implement this solution on 
the squeakfoundation server.

Please remember these are not UIDs, just a count from 1 to 
number-of-messages-in-archive. If something (someone?) (me??) messes up 
my mbox file, these numbers will change.

Anyway, I've added this:

	http://swiki.gsug.org/sqfixes/last

which gives you the number of the last message as plain text (same for 
sqbugs). I don't see the point in generating a list of descending 
numbers starting at 3375 - you can easily count yourself ;-)
