I'm not sure it is worth the risk of false
negatives, but maybe it makes sense to consult
the message-ID database when deciding whether
something is an address or not. It would be really
cool to support automatic linking to the
relevant HTML page if a message-ID matches.
I know I once saw a mailer that stuck the sender's
address inside the message-id; this caused some
grief. Maybe it is stultifyingly rare, though.
============================
On the archive pages, messaged IDs are treated like e-mail addresses and bunged. Is there something that you can do about this?
An example can be seen at:
http://www.mail-archive.com/tbudl%40thebat.dutaint.com/msg91844.html
The message-id in question is:
-unavailable-
I don't see an obvious way to exclude it and include
real email addresses using a regexp.
Do you have a suggestion?

If it is prefixed with mid or msgid, perhaps? Or, maybe if the list in question already contains a message with that message ID (this doesn't work when lists refer to each other, however). Aside from those, no, I cannot think of a good way to simultaneously protect e-mail addresses and display message IDs.
