Yep. <listdir>/archive/1, <listdir>/archive/2, etc..

Not a provided way, AFAIK. It shouldn't be hard to make even a bash
shell script do it, though (list files ordered by date and iterate them,
incrementing a counter while renaming each file).

The index of the next incoming message is determined by <listdir>/index,
which stores the last-used index I believe. Be sure to update that when
you add messages to the archive.

You would probably also need to turn off Mlmmj's checking of the To/CC
header (add a tocc tunable). Then it probably works.
