But how hard is it just to hit `n' n times? Not very. Not nearly as hard as it would be to work out whether all the parts were there, and which parts weren't, if the `=' command couldn't display the part numbers. In my view that outweighs the other considerations. So please keep the part numbers in the Subject: header -- and let's hear it for an early release of rn 5.0!
