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 (...) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) while this might not be what you need, notice that messages you get via mail from lugnet have this header attached: X-Message-Archive: (URL) you can link to that message directly, or just as "lugnet.year.2002:24"... :) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) And via nntp, there's an xref header, for example, Dan's post has the following header: Xref: lugnet.com lugnet.admin.general:8506 (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I don't read the articles via mail, so the former is of little use, I'm afraid. And so is the latter, because I use Leafnode to read news offline. This means that the LUGNET articles get a different article number on my local news spool. So (...) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

[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, (...)

(...) I'd hate to see these sorts of references. I'm not always browsing the web interface in a browser that I want the news reader to come up in (and such a reference will be useless to anyone who can't access the nntp server).

(...) I wonder why. (...) Great, I'll do that! (...) When I read LUGNET offline at home, the Xref header has the article number on my local news spool. I don't think that number would be too interesting for anybody else. Fredrik (24 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) It would still not solve the problem of refering to an article which is refered to by an article you have. Say you have a bunch of LUGNET articles downloaded locally. You want to refer to the parent of an article you have, but you don't have (...) (24 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) 1) They're gunky looking. 2) They contain no useful information to a human. 3) They can be very, very long. I've seen some here bigger than 80 characters in length. That makes them unsuitable for URLs. 4) The thought of putting NNTP ID's in an (...) (24 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
