The nice thing about using message-ids would be that we could locate those
messages in other storage aside from the archives -- such as our local mail
spool.
(The down-side is that message-ids are not necessarily unique. In particular
it doesn't identify which copy of a message you're referring to when it was
sent to addresses. Mailers also sometimes mess up and generate duplicate
message-ids. But I don't think either of these issues affect us here though.)
