Details:
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:

The message-id in question is:
14738154(_dot_)20060824170821(_at_)gmail(_dot_)com
I don't see an obvious way to exclude it and include
real email addresses using a regexp.
Do you have a suggestion?

"Message IDs Munged"
<mid:2dd4e38b0608281934s554d96bch10c00b166e32cf5d(_at_)mail(_dot_)gmail(_dot_)com>
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.
