What do you use to find message on git mailing list (or LKML) with given
Message-Id? Do you use some mailing list archive? Is there a way to find
URL pointing to archived version of email given by Message-Id?

I thought that link to message with given Message-ID would be useful both on
GitWiki, and as example committag.

Dear diary, on Wed, Sep 20, 2006 at 01:11:02PM CEST, I got a letter

  Unfortunately I haven't found any either. I use /~i <messageid> in
mutt.

  I concur, Message-ID is IMHO underused in general.

I have found two places for git mailing list. I was hoping for something 
more universal, but alas, no such luck (and most probably not possible)

Example Message-ID:

 Message-ID: <200609200739.48732.alan@chandlerfamily.org.uk>

Links to git mailing list archive: MARC and GMane (out of MARC, GMane,
Gelato, Spinics, mail-archive)

 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?i=200609200739.48732.alan%20()%20chandlerfamily%20!%20org%20!%20uk
 http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=<200609200739.48732.alan@chandlerfamily.org.uk> 

As you can see, MARC needs some munging.

Yeah, the latter is what I always end up doing, after finding
out the message-id using Pasky's local mailstore method, but I
always have hard time remembering if the keyword is message-id
or message_id X-<.

Thanks for documenting them.
