Hmm... Maildirs.  With just a bit of minor trickery the unique
filename created to receive a message as it arrives at Mailman might
be put into the saved rfc822 header (much like MTAs place a queue id),
or into the message trailer if you must, and perhaps could be
preserved in the filename as the message is moved/copied from one
directory to another and thereby providing a unique index that can be
included in the message Mailman puts on the wire.
