My patch already works for this example, and I don't think spaces are
allowed in message IDs, so it shouldn't make a difference.

I guess the syntaxes we have to support are those produced by notmuch
frontends, at least until other mailing lists start using this kind of
references as well. I don't think the quotes are necessary, since the
IDs don't contain any spaces, so your suggestion would be
preferable (of course, that might lead to more id:..-texts turned into
links even though they aren't intended to be).
I'll send an edited patch later.
Cheers,
Daniel
