Thanks very much, recursion, sigh, I should have thought about it.
So I cooked up that
(defun my-reset-subject-counter ()
"Reset the counter to ZERO!"
(interactive)
(setq my-subject-counter 0)
(message "Now my-subject counter has been reset to ZERO!"))
(defun my-new-insert-subject-counter ()
"Insert a string of the form [`counter/Total'] "
(interactive)
(save-excursion
(setq my-subject-counter (+ my-subject-counter 1))
(let ((total (read-string "Total number: " )))
(message-carefully-insert-headers (list (cons 'Subject (concat "[" (int-to-string my-subject-counter) "/" total "]")))))))
Which is very useful for my workflow, thanks again.
Uwe
