Bla bla.
My patch already works for this example, and I don't think spaces are allowed in message IDs, so it shouldn't make a difference. > Even if not favorable, should a syntax without double quotes be > supported, too?

I guess the syntaxes we have to support are those produced by notmuch frontends, at least until other mailing lists start using this kind of references as well. I don't think the quotes are necessary, since the IDs don't contain any spaces, so your suggestion would be preferable (of course, that might lead to more id:..-texts turned into links even though they aren't intended to be). I'll send an edited patch later. Cheers, Daniel
