No, I'm thinking of the `Message-ID` header of the message. The MsgID in 
MailMate is not the same on different installs of MailMate and the UID 
is only unique per mailbox (which makes it unique if combined with the 
IMAP mailbox URL).

Don't you already add a `message:` URL to the note? This contains the 
`Message-ID` of the message and could be used to relocate the task 
(depending on the TaskPaper API of course).
