It's a bit much for common cases with git-send-email and
reasonable MUAs, I think.  I don't know if formail is commonly
installed, nowadays...

Well, after your earlier suggestion I considered to go with this:

-	perl -pi -e 's|^Message-Id:\s*<?([^>]+)>?$|Link:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/$1|g;' "$1"
+	perl -pi -e 's|^Message-ID:\s*<?([^>]+)>?$|Link:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/$1|i;' "$1"

But...

Of course ;-) You need it to run checkpatch on patch series obtained
through "b4 am", before you apply them to your tree:

$ cat *mbx | formail -s scripts/checkpatch.pl

...this made me wonder if formail would be the better solution. I came
up with this:

formail -A "Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/`formail -c -x Message-ID <
"${1}" | sed 's!.*<\(.*\)>!\1!'`" < "${1}" | sponge "${1}"

Downsides: instead of perl it requires sed and sponge (part of
moreutils, which I guess not everyone has installed; but I tried to
avoid a big here document or moving files around).

Is that worth it? Or is there a way to realize this in a more elegant
fashion with tools everyone has installed?
