It does?  Can I convert to using message ids somehow?

I'm using Gnus with a local IMAP server (not maildir or Mairix).  All of
my Gnus links are regular folder and article number links.

My Gnus links look like this:

,----
| [[gnus:INBOX.SomeFolder#1053][description of mail goes here]]
`----

I am assuming a message ID link would use the

,----
| Message-ID: <jiljyh9nux.fsf@googlemail.com>
`----

part of the email instead of INBOX.SomeFolder#1053 in the example above.

I don't want email storage on a single local machine because I need
access to my mail from multiple systems and when I'm away with Internet
connectivity -- and using IMAP Works For Me(tm).

Manually synching my 5GB+ of email between multiple systems isn't
something I want to take on at this time.
