I have not been following very closely, so sorry if this is redundant.
I currently use mairix through org-follow-mhe-link, although I had to
do a little hacking to make MH-E do a search by message-id.

It all works great for me, but I think it would be nice if following a
link didn't depend on what MUA or search I happen to use.  Couldn't it
easily enough be mail:...? Then I could send an Org file to a friend
and the link will Just Work for them.
