Hi Max,
I've got an initial draft. It's not exactly what I'm using, as I tried
to make the configuration OS agnostic. And I'm using Thunderbird only
for accounts where I'm forced to use Win32 (else, I'm using notmuch).
I just added a section about cb_thunderlink. I'm not sure how to
organize things with the other information about Thunderbird. And, I'm
not sure about how to properly format names, etc. for the wiki.
See the attached patch.
What do you think ?
Bruno

Notice that this link uses Message-ID to reference a particular

+*** Using the =cb_thunderlink= add-on
+The add-on =cb_thunderlink= for Thunderbird allows:
+ 1. to generate direct links from emails inside Thunderbird,
+ 2. and to reopen the emails following these links.
+
+**** Installation
+To install the =cb_thunderlink=, see this web page:
+
+ https://camiel.bouchier.be/en/cb_thunderlink/installation?with_menu=1
+
+You need to install both the add-on and the OS integration.
+
+Once everything is installed, follow the steps below to make org
+compatible links in Thunderbird, and to teach org how to open these
+links.
+
+**** Copying links from Thunderbird
+In Thunderbird, open the =Options= page for the =cb_thunderlink= add-on
+and add a new link type named =org= in the =Configurable links= section.
+
+#+begin_example
+[[mid:$msgid$][$author_name$: $subject$ ($date_iso$)]]
+#+end_example
+
+To get an org link for a given email, open the contextual menu, click
+the =cb_thunderlink= entry and choose the entry named =org=. This
+copies, into the clipboard, a link to this email; you can then paste
+it in Emacs.
+
+
+**** Opening the emails from Emacs
+To teach org how to open these links, add the following lines in
+your configuration file, configuring the variable
+=cbthunderlink-app= to match your system.
+
+#+begin_src elisp
+(defvar cbthunderlink-app nil
+ "The full path where you've installed your cb_thunderlink application.")
+
+(defun cbthunderlink-open (message-id)
+ "Open the given email. MESSAGE-ID is the message id."
+ (start-process "cb_thunderlink" " *cb_thunderlink*"
+ cbthunderlink-app
+ (concat "thunderlink://messageid=" message-id)))
+(org-add-link-type "mid" 'org-email-open)
