            Bug ID: 3926
           Summary: custom URL scheme to open (or come back to) email;
                    gettable via plugin
    Classification: Unclassified

I'm considering writing a peculiar claws-mail plugin, and one of the needed
features is that I need to be able to "come back to the email" from an external
program... possibly after it has been moved/filed/renamed.

AFAIK, this is customarily done by custom url schemes ala xdg-open.

I've poked through the interface, clawsker, bugzilla, and what documentation I
could find, but was not able to find any references to any sort of url handling
for claws or its ancestor. I thought about mucking about in the code, but
thought it would be better to just ask:

Does this sort of thing already exist somewhere? and is it accessible via the
plugin system?

If not, something as simple as simple and unchained as a uuid:
claws://91b48277-00e6-42cd-a6d6-8ce461f778a1

...or (a more brittle, but possibly easier to implement) option would be an
account-folder-message id tuple:
claws://4/7/295576

Either would do wonders for this prospect.

Thank you, in advance, for your time/consideration.
