Meanwhile, a message ID lives forever and can be used in multiple
contexts.
Oh, I never said "do not use message ID". I said "message ID alone is not
good enough for most people".
FWIW, gmane allows links of the form
http://mid.gmane.org/7vaav8hpfo.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org
which have the advantage of being simple to use, and still contain the
necessary information to get the message in case gmane dies.
