Yes, they are indeed in sequence. What would be the best way to print the entry id in the subject field or in the template?

I am trying to number Form submissions using an incrementing number that would display in Email Notifications.

[Increment Plugin](https://github.com/boboldehampsink/increment) Field produces an incrementing number and would be ideal but it doesn't work because Freeform uses its own field type set.

What would be the best way to generate and associate a unique number per form entry that could then be displayed?
