Event fields
~~~~~~~~~~~~
We recommend that any gatewayed events should include an `external_url` field in
their content to provide a way for Matrix clients to link into the 'native'

message-ID for emails/nntp posts, or a link to a blog comment when gatewaying
blog comment traffic in & out of matrix
