Coming to the issue of mailling list archives (this one scratches me a lot, I have barely time to keep with it), an idea that has been buzzing in my head for some time:
Would it be feasible correlate emails using Message-ID ?
It is suposed to be unique. Some time ago, I wrote a forum software using email as the interface. It used the Message-ID field as index in a database, from which messages and attachments (following old netscape convention) were recovered.
It would be great if our mail archives could answer something like:
http://nagoya.apache.org/mailarchive/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
to deliver the email I'm replying to, maybe with nice thread navigation menu around it.
I can't believe something along the lines does not exist yet. It would simplyfy list archives a lot (specially with crosspostings). Am I missing pointers here?

SantiagoP.S.) Netscape conventions were representing attachments as partN.M to mean the Mth Mime part of the Nth Mime part of the message.
