I just switch my scripts over to Message-Id: and applied it, and after
playing with it a little, I agree with the above sentiment. I like
having a link to the actual patch that I can just click on. The
message-id adds more steps to get there.

I'm going back to the link, but I agree with others, "Link:" should be
for the discussions. Perhaps we could use "Pulled-from:" ?
