I would simply go for:

   What Message-ID are you replying to (if any)?

If I don't know what to answer, I would definitely not say y/yes/n/no,
but press enter directly.
Sounds sensible (even though technically you reply to a message
that has that message ID, and not to a message ID ;-)).

Any better phrasing from others?  If not, I'd say we adopt this
text.

I guess it depends on how much we mind if people accidentally miss the message ID.

If we don't mind much, we could say something like:

  What Message-ID are you replying to [Default=None]?


If we are concerned that when a Message-ID exists, it should be provided, we could split to 2 questions:

  Are you replying to an existing Message [Y/n]?

And then, if the answer is Y,

  What Message-ID are you replying to?
