This way, email messages could be bookmarked in other applications. See related Zim bug for more details: https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/381679 Reproducible: Always

But those are not files... it's one single mbox with lots of mail, so there is no file link to give. See bug 14988 and bug 77195. Also bug 37653 which might be a solution.
Depends on: 77195
Thanks. This RFE almost certainly depends on bug 77195.
It seems that https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/thunderlink/ already implemented the idea, using message-ID. This is really great idea!
