No. Principally because it's not a link :-)

I did expect it to be a usable unambiguous reference to an e-mail, though.
It's how we refer to e-mails on reflectors within IETF working groups (and
have done for as many years as I care to recall).

I plead ignorance as to how other reflectors do it, so... how does one
generate an unambiguous reference to an e-mail here?

It's not a link, so I wouldn't expect it to "work as a link". Actually,
it's not obvious to me what the word "link" means in the context of a plain
text message.

Anyway, let's not argue. I assumed that all reflectors worked the same way
as the technical ones that I am used to. Since this one apparently doesn't,
please just tell me what the right mechanism is to use here for referring
to a prior message posted on the reflector.
