I would recommend not relying on someone elses message ID as a tag.
Spam, for instance, often uses the same message-id for a whole run of spam,
or has no message-id at all.

Instead, add your own X-Camram-Tag: header to associate scores, etc.
(checking whether one already exists and discarding or escaping).  This 
also solves the problem of coworkers seeing their officemates spam scores.
