Details:

I'm not sure it is worth the risk of false
negatives, but maybe it makes sense to consult
the message-ID database when deciding whether 
something is an address or not. It would be really
cool to support automatic linking to the
relevant HTML page if a message-ID matches.

I know I once saw a mailer that stuck the sender's
address inside the message-id; this caused some 
grief. Maybe it is stultifyingly rare, though.


============================

On the archive pages, messaged IDs are treated like e-mail addresses and
bunged. Is there something that you can do about this?

An example can be seen at:

----

The message-id in question is:

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't see an obvious way to exclude it and include
real email addresses using a regexp.

Do you have a suggestion?

If it is prefixed with mid or msgid, perhaps? Or, maybe if the list in
question already contains a message with that message ID (this doesn't work
when lists refer to each other, however). Aside from those, no, I cannot
think of a good way to  simultaneously protect e-mail addresses and display
message IDs.
