Ah ha!  Something was bugging me about org's links to gnus messages.

From what I've seen so far in my cursory tours of org, links to gnus
nnml messages are, by default, of the form <group#nnmlFileName> rather
than <messageID>.  Message-ID is known and retrievable when gnus calls
message-sent-hook (which is how Sacha's link auto-filer works), but I'm
not sure the nnml filename is known at that point.

Can org create message-id links to gnus messages?  (sorry, that's
probably a FAQ)

Cheers -
