Probably. I think there's a chance that the message will have fallen out of the registry if it's particularly old, and it may have problems in IMAP environments if a message has been moved by another client, but for general usage it should work fine, and in my estimation probably won't have more problems than the folder#index scheme. Note that I haven't actually used the Registry myself yet, merely read about it and thought "that looks interesting, but I don't need it yet, and it will probably not play well with my Unison synchronization." - Michael -- mouse, n: A device for pointing at the xterm in which you want to type.
