Default Developer Suggestion for PBEM

Problem: Player sends two files, in rapid succession.
Due to vagaries of email, there is no way to know which is the appropriate .2h

If you put a sequential counter with each turn file, an email host could tell when a trn file was skipped, which was the appropriate one etc.

aka 00001, 000002, 000003 incrementing with each .2h creation.
