You can get the message-ids by grep'ing the mbox file, and the comments
are all:

	http://js-kit.com/rss/momjian.us/msgid-*

e.g.

	http://js-kit.com/rss/momjian.us/msgid-200710222037.l9MKbCJZ098744@wwwmaster.postgresql.org

So, once you grep the message ids, you can just pull the comments using
the above URL with your current message-id.  Is there anything else?

Agreed.
