NMS - capture message id into the message template?

I want to create link to put into the message template so that subscribers can click on a "send this newsletter to a friend" link to a form on the website which will allow them to enter the name and email address of a friend they want to send a link to the archived view of that message. I figure if I know how to embed the message id into the message template I can figure out a solution - but I don't know how to access the message id in the message temple. Any help? Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I would also be interested in finding a solution for this. I would like to be able to "Forward this message to a friend" and I would also like to create a link to enable the user to "click here to display this message in your web browser".
In both cases I need to be able to link to the archived view of that message.
I would be grateful if anybody could help with this.
Thanks

In NMS.module.php
Around line 630 (after the "setup smarty" comment) I added the following line:
[php]
$smarty->assign('messageid', $this->current_message);
[/php]
Which gives me a smarty tag {$messageid} which I can use in my newsletter template.
Ideally, it would be good to know if there is any other already existing smarty variable I could use without having to hack NMS.module.php as above?
