I have modified the code so each email message now shows a _permanent_
URL at the top, e.g.
Permanent URL: http://momjian.us/mhonarc/patches/44DA31B1.3090700.enterprisedb.com.html
so it can be referenced in emails and the thread links on the page still
work fine.
It does take a little longer to generate the thread index after an mbox
change but I think this feature is worth it.
I can do the same for the comments so email notifications you get link
to the right email but now that we already have comments in the system
it is too late to change them now. Also, if I do that, comments for
emails moved from the hold queue to the main queue would disappear, so I
am not sure that is a great idea.
