I know this link, generated by remember, works from planner:

[[gnus://nnml:wri.d-wpt/<address@hidden>][E-Mail from Soandso]]

And this, generated from Sacha's code, also works from planner:

[[gnus://nnml:archive.2008-10/<address@hidden>][Eric Schulte: Re: %5BOrgmode%5D 
keeping track of sent emails in org?]]

(I store this month's outgoing mail in ~/Mail/archive/2008-10)

I don't know how planner's gnus:// link works, though.
