The numbers refer not to the actual note played but to it's place in
the scale.  What the person replying was saying was that 7 chord is
played by using the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th elements of the scale with
the 7th one flattenned a semitone.  The maj7 chord is the same but the
7th note is not flattenned.

Now you asked specifically about F7 and Fmaj7 so in this case the scale
to which those numbers refer is the one that starts on 'F' so the notes
you would actually play would be F A C Eb for F7 and F A C E for Fmaj7.
Using the numbers you could work out what E7 or Emaj7 would be or
indeed for any root note.

But there is no Fmaj6? If I got you right F6 is F A C and bD (flanttened a semitone)... but that seems not the case for F6, keychor.com says F6 = F A C D!... how come??
