I think you are refering to an MH-style mail folder since traditional
mail spool files do not number messages.

The only way to get this kind of behavior is to modify the MHonArc
source.  Since MHonArc can take input from mailbox files or directories,
a little thought is needed in the implementation to be aware of this.
The approach I would take is to implement an abstraction for the
message number assignment so alternate number assignment methods could
be hooked in.
