Fwiw, I've been trying to avoid exposing NNTP article numbers in
the HTTP endpoint in favor of Message-IDs because serial numbers
aren't decentralization-friendly. Of course, sometimes
Message-IDs get reused, so public-inbox will return all messages
which match a particular Message-ID in those rare cases.
Btw, POST with the "&x=m" query parameter already allows search
to return a gzipped mboxrd.
And also what I just wrote about about JMAP/GraphQL in the other
message.
A read-only IMAP server is also coming with search support,
and IMAP UIDs will be equivalent to NNTP article numbers.
