Can someone confirm that ? (I have also a field > "Message-ID" in each message header) The easiest way to find out what should be there is to: 1. go to the WL message, in the Summary window say. 2. type C-cl (org-store-link) 3. go to your org document where you want to link from 4. type C-cC-l (org-insert-link) and hit RET to accept the default which should be the link you /stored/ above. > =C2=A0I have the feeling that the dot at the beginning of the folder name > confuses the org-mode when I try to follow the link. For example, > following the link=C2=A0 [[wl:.INBOX#29333][TEST]]=C2=A0 I didn't find that the . caused any problems (the majority of my mailboxes are in maildir format). However, I must say that following links to WL messages is not the most robust system. The problems are not in org but in WL, as far as I can tell.=20=20 A couple of suggestions: make sure you have started WL *before* attempting to follow a link from org in any case and make sure you don't store a link from WL from within a filtered view. Due to the problems with linking to WL message, and a few other issues, I have recently moved back to GNUS which is basically more robust in all ways (although has a much steeper learning curve... but that's a story for another mailing list ;-). > Maybe I've misunderstood the documentation and I search the web without > success.
