Looks like the index is a "sequence" number, and the missing numbers are emails that were discarded by the mail server (detected as spam or otherwise thrown away).

Seems like you could probably:

1. Pull all of the sequence numbers from the wayback archive yearly pages (sorted by date).

2. Sort the emails in your mailbox by UTC date.

3. Line up the numbers with the emails.

Could definitely use help on trying to recovery the numbering scheme used by messages on the Gemini Mailing List. It should be easy, but I can't crack it. More details here:
