Feature Request: message_id as replaceable token for footers etc.
Barry,
Long time no talk. Whaddya think of adding message_id as a replaceable token for footers and the like? This would allow footers to be constructed which direct URL-reference their own post in an NNTP archive.

I like the concept, but the only problem is that message-ids are not guaranteed unique. I'd like to see a guaranteed unique id be generated on the system, and then have that used as the new message-id, displayable in the footers, used as the index reference in the mailing list archives, etc....
I've been agitating for this one for a while. ;)-- Brad Knowles, <brad@stop.mail-abuse.org>
