You're right, split deletes duplicates. In fact, I use it as a quick way
to do just that.
I don't see any way to add line numbers without looking at each line.
But you could keep a counter in a variable and put the text into an
array with the counter integer as the key. That might be faster than
keeping a text list. I haven't followed this thread closely, so probably
that's already been suggested.
I think if you remove the speed hit that updates the field scroll, it
might get fast enough.

I had believed that collapsing duplicates and alphabetising are unavoidable

message order or content, then I would be delighted. Is that what this is
below, but I haven’t appreciated it?
