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. > Actually, the very first motivation for starting to work on these > functions was annoyance at not being able to return properly from > following a gnus link.
