I really like this idea for uniquely identifying emails. Our shop had been messing with something similar, but had trouble bridge the gap between the lay people and the technical minded people.
- leephillips 4y agoDoesn’t the MessageID work?
- jgalt212 4y agoCan you search on that via a Gmail or Outlook client? I did not think you could, and we were looking for shorter strings. e.g. 10 character Base58 string gets you approx 10^17 uniques.
- leephillips 4y agoI don’t know, but you certainly can in real email clients such as mutt. When I want to store a reference to an email in a note, I use the MessageID. It’s already there in every message, and it’s supposed to be unique.
