That can be provided to identify the message.
Though headers aren't so easily viewed on some systems. You typically
get your choice of about four (to/from/date/subject) or all of them
(and that can be a lot). If people read on mobile devices, they may
not get any choice about it.
If I click on that header in Evolution (as you'd expect to be able to
with a HTTP address) I get a 503 error from a web server. I still get
a 503 error if I strip it back to:

The point me and Patrick were commenting on was making it easier to
report spam. Not a different way of difficulty. With the current
system, the issue reporting link at the bottom of an email, I have to
create a Fedora account before I even know what procedure I'm going to
have to go through. At that stage I abort with a "not yet another
account I have to create, I'm already drowning in passwords".
