Ah, very nice.
I still think basing links on message ids is the most robust. I just
gave a quick try and I can fairly easily find a message from an id
through notmuch on the command line, or using an interactive
search. I had a quick look at notmuch.el but I don't see a way to use it
without a notmuch buffer, though.

That's motivation enough!

Good to know, thanks.

I'll give it a try.
Thanks again,
