Message-ID: <87h7b5rm6f.fsf@localhost>
I usually just leave an ML link in such cases:
https://orgmode.org/list/87h7b5rm6f.fsf@localhost
As long as the ML link contains the Message-ID, as appears to be
the case here, yeah. Mailing list archives can move, which causes
links to suddenly stop working. But if the Message-ID is in the
link, then (with a little extra work) one can always find the
message in the new archive.
(The reason I typically include more is to make things as easy as
possible for those who are searching in a local archive using
their regular mailreader. But I can switch to the above way if
you'd prefer.)
FYI, I do not know an easy way to search mailing list archives by
Message-ID. Message-ID itself does not even provide information which
mailing list it is referring to (maybe it is e.g. Emacs devel).
That's why I prefer links - they can often be found using archive.org if
nothing.
On the other hand, extra information would not heart. In addition to
link.
A link to a message in the local storage of a regular mail reader should
have mid: scheme, e.g. mid:87h7b5rm6f.fsf@localhost
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2392
RFC 2392 - Content-ID and Message-ID Uniform Resource Locators
Unfortunately the only way to specify mail list is the text around the link.
Mail-archive promises Message-ID resolver
https://mid.mail-archive.com/... but it does not work for emacs-orgmode.
Gmane has the org mail list archive and allows access using Message-ID
from an arbitrary mail list:
w3m -m 'nntp://news.gmane.io/87h7b5rm6f.fsf@localhost'
However I consider https://list.orgmode.org/MID links as more friendly
for users unaware of possible ways to obtain some message using its
Message-ID.
