You can get the message-ids by grep'ing the mbox file, and the comments
are all:

http://js-kit.com/rss/momjian.us/msgid-*

e.g.

http://js-kit.com/rss/momjian.us/msgid-200710222037(dot)l9MKbCJZ098744(at)wwwmaster(dot)postgresql(dot)org

So, once you grep the message ids, you can just pull the comments using
the above URL with your current message-id. Is there anything else?

Agreed.
