When composing a mail in emacs/gnus is it possible to create an auto
numbering list/sequence of bullet points?

e.g

1 - read gnus manual
2 - install gnus
3 - figure out how to get a list like this

thanks for any info (clearly I dont want to use muse for this).

Write the list:

- read gnus manual
- install gnus
- figure out how to get a list like this

Type: M-: (setq i 0) RET

Select the list, and type:

M-x replace-regexp RET \(.*\) RET \,(format "%3d %s" (incf i) \1) RET

  1 - read gnus manual
  2 - install gnus
  3 - figure out how to get a list like this

Maybe you can use Org-mode, which comes with facilities for editing
numbered lists and then yank your list in your email.
