Message-ID is not an email address, it's just an ID looking like an
email address.

To reply to that thread, you need to copy that id to the "References" or
"In-Reply-To" header of your message. See e.g.
http://cr.yp.to/immhf/thread.html

However, it's better to put this kind of work on your mail client if
possible.
