Can you give an example > of its usage? message:<87hbhosv8v.wl%dmaus@ictsoc.de> or message://<87hbhosv8v.wl%dmaus@ictsoc.de> (I'm not sure which is technically correct, they both work here) is a link, by message-id, to the email I'm replying to. My hazy memory says this URL schema originates in the first version of netscape which supported mail+news, it enabled you to link directly to a particular message (in an email folder or a newsgroup). It was also how netscape "implemented" the In-Reply-To and References headers, which were clickable and took you to the messages concerned. I can't substantiate that memory, though. The only references I find on the internet are to OSX Leopard and Apple Mail (which does happen to be what I'm using it with). Wikipedia thinks that the correct IANA form is 'mid:', but that doesn't actually work on my system. Jules
