Well, your message ID is:
    <[🔎] 20020403195723.GC21769@pdr.cx>
     ^^^^^^^^|||||| ^^^^^^^ ||||||
       date  ^^^^^^    ?    ^^^^^^
              time          domain

That ? is probably derived from the date or time. Or maybe pid. Not
sure; don't feal like reading exim and/or mutt source. 

I know the vote; it's to the left of the key. I know the possible user
id's. I have some good guesses as to date/time (only a couple week
window, after all). I know which domain matches which user id.

Now I can brute force that last unknown: Which vote belongs to which
person.
