Re: Beagle and Thunderbird

[D Bera <dbera web gmail com>]

I did a quick google search on thunderbird and couldnt find any way to
open a particular mail in thunderbird. Specifically
1) How to uniquely specify a particular mail in thunderbird's mail-store
2) Given that unique "uri", how to open that mail using thunderbird.
Since GDS, CDS,  YDS and MSN (with a plugin) indexes thunderbird
mails, they must be doing something to open particular emails from
search results. Any information on that part of the magic will be
extremely helpful.
