  I think it is good to number the message. It might be gospel for 
providing with the support service for the corporation.
  However, there is a problem of the scale in numbering of not only a
specific module but also all modules to the message. (There might be 
at least 34000 relating messages or more. )

  It introduces the following Web sites as a approach that arranges 
the message on a Japanese Web site though it apologizes. 

OSS Message Pedia
