Oh, what I would really like is to be able to pull up archives.postgresql.org emails based on message id so I can link to the entire thread. Unfortunately, it doesn't work there, nor does Google or any of the other Postgres email archive sites.

This is something I've been looking into my own organization. The message ids are at the start of the archive web pages. For example your e-mail here I'm replying to begins like this if you look at the page source:

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-03/msg00554.php
<!-- MHonArc v2.6.16 -->
<!--X-Subject: Re: Commit fest? -->
<!--X-From-R13: Pehpr [bzwvna <oehprNzbzwvna.hf> -->
<!--X-Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2008 23:19:33 &#45;0300 (ADT) -->
<!--X-Message-Id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -->
<!--X-Content-Type: text/plain -->
<!--X-Reference: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -->
<!--X-Head-End-->

I was thinking of writing something that scraped the archives building a lookup table out of this information. What would be nice is if the X-Message-Id and X-Reference were both put into the regular HTML for future archived messages so that it's more likely tools like Google could search based on them. A brief glance at the MHonArc documentation suggests that could be run to re-covert any existing messages that are still available in order to add to those even.
