Every post has a Archived-At: header that provides a link to that exact message in the archives. 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: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/
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".
