Nigel,
Thanks for calling my attention.
Firstly, I expressed myself kinda poorly above.
I meant to say that I expected that "open location: message … " would open the default mail client.
As you pointed out it will notI
It will open mail.
Thank for clearing this up.
One thing, though. If the command above did open the default mail client, one should get the message id using **that** mail client.
The id used above works only for Mail, in principle.
