In USENET, an article is refered to by it's Message-ID. Now, LUGNET
is not USENET, and here articles are normally refered to by the
article number on the server. This makes it a bit hard for me (or
anyone else who reads from the SMTP or NNTP interface) to refer to
articles.
Say I am writing an article and want to refer to an older article by
myself or anybody else. I know the Message-ID of the article in
question, but I cannot find the article number on the LUGNET server
unless I fire up my dial up connection and start searching for it.
And with the search function out of order, this is quite hard.
So what I would like is a way to refer to articles on LUGNET by their
Message-ID. For example something like this:
http://news.lugnet.com/message.id/<Message-ID>
So that I can simply plug in the Message-ID and post a link to it.

| [redirecting to .admin.nntp] (...) I would really hate to see NNTP Message ID's floating around in HTTP URLs. A workaround is simply to use a standardized NNTP URL format -- for example: news://lugnet.com/qr...eos.uio.no That's postable as-is. Or, (...)
