Well, in that case what's missing is the message id of the actual
message.  It's important to me to be saving links /to individual
messages/ in the context of their threads.  A simple message-id might
be enough to get you there on some interfaces, like gmane, but not in
wl.  You could of course do it with a 2-step query in wl: look up the
message first, to get its root, and then get all the other messages in
the thread.
