I understand the _theoretical_ argument.

But when theory and practice clash, theory is worth sh*t.

And in practice, those message-ID's are worthless. Nobody is going to
take the time to look them up.

If you want real permanence and ease of access, JUST QUOTE THE THING
YOU POINTED TO.

And if it's not important enough to quote, make it at least be useful,
obvious, and simple: make it a real web link.

Don't do the idiotic useless message-ID thing. Pick one of the two
options above, not the crazy good-for-nothing one.
