Yes. An important element of this feature is that MM must already have a 
copy of the message in its local cache.

The part after the // is the content of the Message-ID header line of 
the message, with the enclosing '<>' URL-encoded (and any other 
characters that require it.) Note that technically that is not an 'URL' 
because it has no location information, hence it is an 'URI' because it 
merely identifies the message, rather than locating it.
