Evolution will also allow you to drag-n-drop a message to the desktop,
producing a PDF.  In combination with GVFS and something like a WebDAV
server this is very useful for archiving related messages.

While the Message-ID is a **theoretically** unique ID for the message
there is not anyway to IMAP://{message-id} in a cross-platform way.  If
you control the server something like this is easy to build - but it
will be unique to your configuration.
