Description
If an invalid message ID is used (or the id is valid but the message is not available to the current user) then a message dialog box is shown with a green "Got it!" button.
For example:
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/abcd@defg
This is confusing - why have a button if it is not needed?
Also the message may be missed if the user does not switch to the tab immediately.
The same applies to other error/warning dialogs, e.g. mixed public/private lists.

Research direction
Reproduce the invalid or unavailable message ID case, then check the equivalent mixed public/private-list warning dialog. Trace the frontend dialog handling entry point, and confirm that each warning or error remains visible until the user activates the "Got it!" ACK button.
