These are interesting questions. I don't consider it very useful, to
fully archive all linked postings. The archiver has no chance to guess,
why an author could have linked to another message. There could be many
other reasons for these links.

What do you think about another tag to implement this feature=3F Something
like [reference:<msgid>] or [ref:<msgid>].
