Simple feature request that will never happen: All Internet emails have a GUID field, and all users who have a copy of a unique message have that one GUID for it.

Why can't there by an "email:$MessageId" URI scheme and why can't Outlook handle these URIs with 1) open that message if I have it; or 2) "You did not receive that message."

I've looked into part of this before. Outlook has message URLs, specific to YOUR database, and they break if you move a message to another folder. Useless.

@progo
The issue then comes if you never recieved the original email, but had it forwarded to you...

You would want your clients to also check the References and In-Reply-To headers as a fallback.

@everlastingrocks Does "forward as new message" usually have a header referencing the original message ID? It'd make sense if it did but I wasn't aware of it.

@progo
From the one 'Fwd:' email whose headers I looked at, it did.
