Less than dozen lines of code in init.el (configure mid: links in Org 
and install notmuch handler for `browse-url') should allow referencing 
messages in a MUA agnostic way at least by Message-ID. Emacs mail 
clients allows other queries, but likely there is no standard for them.

Thunderbird allows to save messages as an .eml file and to open it by

thunderbird /tmp/test.eml

Gmail web application allows .eml export as well. In some cases it is an 
alternative to PDF.
