I knew about this one (see the comment in the definition of
`gnus-button-guessed-mid-regexp'), but I didn't use it because:

(1) I'm not very familiar with Perl-REs. If included in Gnus, the
    regexp syntax must be compatible with Emacs (version >= 20) and
    XEmacs (version >= 21), AFAIK.

(2) What about the paperwork?

This looks more simple than pi's solution.

Would you like to work on this? We could include another choice option
in `gnus-button-prefer-mid-or-mail' (and use it in
`gnus-button-handle-mid-or-mail').

Bye, Reiner.
