I was surprised to see that, too, but if you have it configured I would understand the behaviour. Of course, the value of showing the Message-Id: in this particular case is dubious (by definition you won't have them on the side that you have not posted), but if you are comparing two iterations that have been queued (e.g. by keeping the old tips of the topic branch unpruned by holding onto historical 'origin/pu' using reflog), it may become useful when doing a "Wait, is that really my bogosity? Let's go see the list archive using the message ID---ah, something was suggested in the review and the maintainer attempted to pick it up and squash it in, which he botched".
