(I'm not sure which is technically correct, they both work here)
is a link, by message-id, to the email I'm replying to.
My hazy memory says this URL schema originates in the first version of
netscape which supported mail+news, it enabled you to link directly to
a particular message (in an email folder or a newsgroup). It was also
how netscape "implemented" the In-Reply-To and References headers,
which were clickable and took you to the messages concerned.
I can't substantiate that memory, though. The only references I find
on the internet are to OSX Leopard and Apple Mail (which does happen
to be what I'm using it with).
Wikipedia thinks that the correct IANA form is 'mid:', but that
doesn't actually work on my system.
