yup.  It's often fairly useful.

I'd have expected git-am to have a way of doing that by now.

I just do this:

message_url()
{
	pname="$1"

	idline=$(grep -i "^Message-Id:" "$pname" | head -1)
	if [ x"$idline" != "x" ]
	then
		msgid=$(echo "$idline" | sed -e 's/[^<]*<\([^>]*\).*/\1/')
		if [ x"$msgid" != "x" ]
		then
			echo "http://lkml.kernel.org/r/$msgid";
		fi
	fi
}
