Also, it would be user-friendlier to add a "mailto:" link there which has this
header in the first place.
This would work via:
mailto:address@hidden&In-Reply-To=xxxx
.
Note that this would increase spam to the list almost immediately. (If that's a
problem, I can suggest to make it harder to automatically read by using
Javascript instead of plain HTML in order to make it build this URL only if a
human is at the client)
