Isn't this rather important? How many users of orgmode get TODOs via E-Mail
and need an efficient way to come back from the TODO to its origin?
I agree that linking mail messages and Org notes is important. On the
other hand my impression is that the "mid:" URI protocol is not adopted
wide enough by mail user agents yet, so it is too early to enable it by
default in Org.
Configuring of "mid:" links requires just a few lines in init.el and
they are quite usual for custom links.
Alexander, you have tried 2 mail application and it seems neither of
them supports "mid:" links out of the box. Notmuch looks almost ready,
it needs just a .desktop file and configuring `browse-url-handlers' on
activation. Have you checked if kmail bug tracker has a feature request
for "mid:" links? I am not sure that KDE bug trackers are indexed by
search engines.
From the blog post by Karl Voit I have an impression that developers of
Evolution do not follow RFC since posted command example contains angle
brackets (mid:<...@...>). Such format causes "not found" error in
Thunderbird.

Do you know an alternative? Org already uses this package to open some
types of links. It allows to have the same handler for all Emacs
packages. I do not think that Org-specific handler would be better.
