Just out of curiousity, how does one interpret that strange URL you have given? All it does for me is produce a "Host not found" error.
That's not an URL, it's a message id. Though there should be only one `@' -- I'm so used to copying message ids to the to-do list (Texinfo) where `@' has to be quoted (duplicated). ;-)
Every email gets such an id that can be seen among the full headers. Hopefully your mail reader allows you to search for it. Otherwise you can probably guess from the id that the mail was on 2002-02-15 06:46 (UTC) so you can find it with this information (in general it's up to the mail systems how to format the id, but in this case it's quite obvious that it contains the date).
