At least for Emacs, when we mention bug#NNNNN on emacs-devel, we
always mean debbugs, so the URL seems independent of the forum.

We could add an Rmail-specific defcustom in bug-reference.el, which,
if non-nil, will tell Rmail to run bug-reference-rmail-setup when
showing a message.

The new defcustom could accept values that are alists, with separate
values for each inbox.
