Konstantin Ryabitsev has arequest for anybody who is using mutt for kernel work:

At some point in the recent past, mutt changed the way it generatesMessage-ID header values. Instead of the perfectly goodold way of doing it, the developers switched to usingbase64-encoded random bytes. The base64 dictionary contains the/ character, which causes unnecessary difficulties whenlinking to these messages on lore.kernel.org, since the /character needs to be escaped as %2F for everything towork properly.

The post includes a simple workaround for the problem.
