Actually I thought originally on some "link" functionality, but in a
wider sense, anything which makes a post unique.

I see, checking some arbitrary post's message ID from emacs-devel:
Message-ID: <87a6hc9kge.fsf@telefonica.net>
But I can't activate or clicking it in message mode, at least in the
*unsent wide reply...* buffer.

Thanks, it seems to work (though the cursor is skipping to the end of
the message ;-)).

Thanks, it's working for me. :-)

Thank you for the pointer to the archive! Is the GNU organisation
itself maintaining such archives?

I see, but how did you find this article? I tried to search (for parts)
of the message ID and this seems not to work. If I want to use html
links for such archives I need to search, for example, for the time of
the post or the author to get to a particular message in the web
archive, right?

OK, I should be able to check this, after having send this message. :-)

yes "j" works, how nice. So, actually, I don't need to search in an
html archive for a link, I just have to paste the respective message ID
of a post I want to reference to, great!
Oh wait! What about Gmail or other mail readers of Emacs, do they have
this functionality as well?

Well, at a first read, your messages only confused me. But now it seems
that you gave me already more than I was asking for! :-)
Thank you very much.
