Hello, applications I use (ToDo apps, CRM apps) support linking to individual Apple Mail mails. They use URLs of a special protocol for this, like many apps have started to do (message: in Mail, omnifocus: in OmniFocus, etc.), and those apps seem to install the respective protocol handler at system level so that opening a link with that protocol opens the respective handler application (e.g. Apple Mail), and shows the respective message in them.
However, PowerMail does not seem to support this currently. It would really be great if I could do that with PowerMail messages as well. So I'm suggesting the following: 1. Create a new protocol, e.g. "powermail:". 2. Add functionality to PM to have a handler for that protocol installed at system level, and extend PM to being able to open such URLs. 3. Devise a scheme that allows to uniquely identify and open the message encoded in the URL. This will probably need to include the environment (- path? -alias?) to identify the message database to use, followed by the PM-internal message ID in that database. With that, I could keep using PM as my email client of choice, but also "attach" email messages by reference to records in other apps I use regularly, or even clickable links in Pages documents. Would anyone else be interested in such a feature? Could this be implemented? Regards, Christian.
