- Thread-topic: Clickable links!
Links in an email have to be either HTTP/www addresses or email links, and
either the message is in HTML format, which would likely include the link
properly formatted, or if plain text, then the host application will do
parsing on the fly and "make it be clickable" if it looks like a valid
link/email, AFAIK.
So, what it looks like you doing is putting a message ID in your email,
which would be text. I don't script Apple Mail often, but I think it's
something like "message id 5 of mailbox 3 of application Mail" (or something
to that general form). This is not going to be clickable ever. If you need
to click a link to go to the original message IN YOUR LOCAL copy of Apple
Mail, you need to run a script that parses an email message content and
tries to select that message by getting the ID of the message and mailbox.
If you want the clickable link to show the message in the online service,
then the link is going to be something like
"http://www.myreminderservice.com/login=something?message=something?andSomeO
therCodeToTakeYouToThatMessageInYourMailbox".
I might be wrong about the details but that's what I think you need to
consider in the broad view of how it needs to work.
