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.
