My new version instructs to install the add-on from Thunderbird, with no
OS installation. It's simpler and safer.

My new version instructs to use standard "mid:" by just running Thunderbird.

I didn't realize that Thunderbird allows to open "mid:". I've simplified
the method.
I'm now using =cb_thunderlink= just to answer the following question, that
currently is on the wiki page:
you need to copy the value of the Message-ID
header, it should be possible with some add-on.
i.e. cb_thunderlink allows to build a full org link (link + description).
As it's still not clear to me how to configure browse-url, I'm still relying
on start-process.
See a new version of the patch.

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 to generate direct
+links from emails inside Thunderbird. You can then teach org to repon
+these links.
+
+ 1. In Thunderbird, install the =cb_thunderlink= add-on.
+
+ 2. In the options page of the =cb_thunderlink= add-on, add a new link
+ type, name it =org= with the following value:
+
+ #+begin_example
+ [[mid:$msgid$][$author_name$: $subject$ ($date_iso$)]]
+ #+end_example
+
+ 3. In your emacs init file, add the following lines:
+ #+begin_src elisp
+ (defvar thunderbird-app nil
+ "The absolute path to your thunderbird application.")
+
+ (defun thunderbird-message-with-id (message-id)
+ "Open the given email. MESSAGE-ID is the message id."
+ (start-process "thunderbird" " *thunderbird*"
+ thunderbird-app
+ (concat "mid:" message-id)))
+
+ (org-link-set-parameters "mid" :follow 'thunderbird-open-message-with-id)
+ #+end_src
+
+
+In Thunderbird, to copy a link to an email into the clipboard, open
+the contextual menu, click the =cb_thunderlink= entry and choose the
+entry named =org=. Then paste the link in your org file, and, click it
+to re-open the email.
