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
