Sure I _can_ but it's not especially handy (bordering self-inflicted pain, tbh). Having the Message-ID of the URL makes it a lot easier to find the message in your mail program and reply to it if needed. I also used to have a script that tagged as "merged" any messages in my inbox for which the corresponding Message-ID trailer appeared in linux.git, but it broke at some point and I never fixed it... (In fact, that is IMO the main point in favor of Message-ID - use it for the plain message you're applying, so that it can be used to reply and for tracking purposes; use Link for the discussion that _prompted_ the patch to be created. But I'm not going to argue too much about it).
