I also agree! :-) What appears to me “difficult” is that most of the
tools as Email client are poorly supporting Message-ID.

For instance, debbugs.el (Gnus).  To my knowledge, there is not easy way
to get the Message-ID when reading an article (bug/patch) from Debbugs.
There is other means for applying patches.  But still each time appears
to me weird. :-)

So thanks for this Mumi addition!

Cheers,
