I can't say I feel especially strongly either way on this but just to
toss out a small thing that might make a small difference....

If you happen to know how your message-ids are generated then you
might be able to do something useful with them. For instance, you
could search all git commits for urls to messages you wrote -- for
instance any commit that has CAB7nPq is referencing a message written
by Michael Paquier.

On the other hand you could put something naughty in the message-id
forcing everyone else to use URLs with dirty words in them. Or with
words like "terrorist" in them. Or with some javascript/html injection
attack of some sort...
