Support other URL's like message:// so you can link to apple mail messages

In the help section I found some issue with this, and I was struggling myself to get it fixed. However, as RMT does not recognize message:// as a URL form, it will add http:// in front of it.

This makes it impossible to link to email messages in Apple Mail. There may be other users for non standard URL schemes, (linking to a fileserver document?).

I can probably write up an applescript that can help you get an email into RTM with this link structure.

The orgininal question can be found here: Link to Apple Mail Message URL

The standard, admittedly annoying, workaround is to build a TinyURL http link for your non-http: link, and then add the tinyrul link to RTM and let Tiny URL handle the redirect. This should be fine with bit.ly or any other url shortener.

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.
