Probably.  I think there's a chance that the message will have fallen
out of the registry if it's particularly old, and it may have problems
in IMAP environments if a message has been moved by another client, but
for general usage it should work fine, and in my estimation probably
won't have more problems than the folder#index scheme.

Note that I haven't actually used the Registry myself yet, merely read
about it and thought "that looks interesting, but I don't need it yet,
and it will probably not play well with my Unison synchronization."
