Eskimo had a server crash that required data restoration from a backup.
That backup had the old digest numbering, so the new traffic went out
with the older numbering. I didn't notice the problem in time to
fix it at the outset, and upon reflection, since the numbers start at
the new year, the disturbance was relatively minor.

I believe the reset occurred on Jan 19, after digest #14, so you
could renumber the original 1-14 as 1x-14x or somesuch and assume
the subsequent numbering makes sense.
As far as I know, no email was lost; some days the list is slow
making for a small digest. Sometimes, too, a large post will push
out the previously-collected material into a digest.
Hope that clears things up.
