Gmail's default setting is _not_ to secretly append all of an old
posting to your new mail.

Gmail's default setting is to _quote_ the old mail into your new mail
buffer when you make a reply so that you can write replies to the parts
as they are needed as context, and delete the rest, just like I am doing
now.

Non sequitur.  \header variables typically describe stuff used in page
headers.

Likely.

The \header block can perfectly well contain numeric variables.  That
the \header variable "title" does not interpret numbers is not terribly
surprising, at least not to me.  It still _accepts_ setting the
variable, and one can read it out again.  It's just the titling itself
that wants to see a string here.
