Actually, only the message ID is needed because the
topic_id is a field table bboard and therefore if you need
it, go get it!
SO, this
https://openacs.org/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=0002Tp
will bring you back to this thread!
THis brings up another point which I havn't solved.... I use
within page references to the latest post within a thread using
the # ...#0002Tp It turns out that # references are case insensitive and occasionally messages like 0002Tp get confused with 0002tP etc...
