I use Thunderbird with e-mail-based patch review, and much of the tooling is based upon Message IDs. I use this multiple times every day. For example, if I want to direct someone to a posting on a Linux kernel mailing list, I can just copy the Message ID with this Add-on, and then supply a simple URL https://msgid.link/<ID>

Before I found this Add-on I used to display source and then search for the actual tag. This Add-on saves so much time.

It works. But how do we open a message directly from messageid using commandline?

works as advertised, thanks.

Most useful to me in combination with MailMerge where I prepare my CSV and attachements from command line and then open the appropriate mail template from the command line "thunderbird -mail <id from your extension>".

Love it, thanks !

Very useful for quickly adding a reference to a specific emails in text files, calendar entries etc. :)

I have one feature suggestion:

An option to copy a GMail link instead of the bare message id.
That is, instead of XXX (the message id), copy
https://mail.google.com/mail/#search/in%3Aanywhere+rfc822msgid%3AXXX

(see https://stackoverflow.com/a/19247147/2646248)

This would allow to insert link in, say, calendar entries, and quickly look the mail up (assuming one is logged into the right GMail account).

Deze beoordeling betreft een eerdere versie van de add-on (1.0.1).
