URL field to understand Apple Message URL

hhollick says:
The Apple Mail client has an underlying message URL. (Here is a good write-up about it at Daring Fireball.) There are a number of ways to get at this URL. I have installed Mail Tags and the URL is available via a right click.

It would be wonderful if the URL field of RTM would recognize this form of URL.

I think this would be a benefit to any mail app, for instance almost the functionality of the email handler from HighRise (http://www.highrisehq.com).

I am not one to say "COPY THEM!!!" but at the same time if I could have a script/option from Apple Mail or my iPhone to forward the message URL I was working on as a "To-do" from work via IMAP I could click it and be onto the message quickly and easily.

May not as a "URL" but even as a NOTE on the item it ignores the message:// and makes it a mailto: link - either a new field or some flexibility in recognizing and allowing the prefix would be great.

I would second (or I guess third) this request. Supporting different protocols in the URL field is VERY useful.

I would absolutely love to have this ability. Dragging a message onto the url field, or the Notes field and having RTM recognizing it would be awesome.

Ditto. This works in Things & Omnifocus, please make it work in RTM.

This would be handy. In the meantime, I use http://bit.ly or TinyURL to turn my various URLs into HTTP form, which RTM accepts.

This idea is considered similar to "Support different protocols in the URL field (e.g. smb:// and message://)", and all votes have been transferred to that idea.
