Hmm. This kind of looks like the right idea, but it's hard to use,
because all you've got to work with is the subject of the message
(which is the same for all), the time it was sent, and the author. In
the old system, you could look at the message in the archives and then
copy-and-paste in the message ID. That's obviously a bit manual, but
it worked.
I suppose what would be really spiffy is if the integration of the
archives and the CF app could be such that you could see the whole
message and then click "annotate this message".
