I had actually thought about that, and I think no.  Perhaps I should
have been more verbose in my original reply, perhaps it's better that
you thought about it and asked the question.

The reason why I think no, is that unlike in-reply-to those are
basically cached versions of data that is already elsewhere in the
Message object.
