That would destroy the one good argument for this, which was to
provide an easy way to get from a mail list thread (in the archives)
to the corresponding CF entry or entries. You pull up the "flat"
thread, search for the bot mail, and click the link. Without that
I see little point at all.
However, there are other ways to accomplish that. I liked the
suggestion of extending the CF webapp with a way to search for entries
mentioning a particular mail message ID. I dunno how hard it'd be to
get it to recognize *any* message-ID from a thread, but surely at
least the head message ought not be too hard to match.
