I always wonder why we don't add a unique id to each email message
itself. I mean let the mail list program to add sequencial number to
each email's subject. For example, emails pgsql-jp ML (PostgreSQL general
discussion in Japanese managed by JPUG) have subject headers like
this:
[pgsql-jp: 34814] pgpool 2.5 released
By using this method our TODO list can referer emais "logical" id
(34814 in this case) which is independent on archive URL.
Archive URL is something like a "phisical" id and maybe changed
accidentaly and is not convenitent for this kind of usage IMO.
