Before I was asking if "back link reference" could be obtained from Mutt to point to specific file in Maildir. I still think that would be useful feature for quicker access to specific emails.
There is an open ticket for this, but I haven't started looking seriously at it yet: <https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt/-/issues/172>. Feel free to add comments there (if you are comfortable having a gitlab account - I know not everyone is). But it is on my list of things to look at.
Today I have tried searching from command line for message ID: ` -e <command> specify a command to be executed after initialization` by using: -e "<search>~i 12344messageID" but that does not work
<command> refers to the list from <http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#commands>. In this case, you can use the "push" command to add functions (such as <search>) to the input buffer.
So perhaps something like mutt -e 'push "<search>~i 12344messageID<enter>"' -or- mutt -e 'push "<limit>~i 12344messageID<enter>"' would work? Message-id extraction might be done via <pipe-message>. -- Kevin J. McCarthy GPG Fingerprint: 8975 A9B3 3AA3 7910 385C 5308 ADEF 7684 8031 6BDA
