Run this command from a terminal: thunderbird -mail 'mid:f8051cc8637cf3ff79661f382.63e939ed07.20201229132457.576ef659f7.6f044b64@mail65.atl231.mcsv.net' Actual results: No change in message focus. Got an "Unrecognized URL" message in the error console: Unrecognized URL: mid:f8051cc8637cf3ff79661f382.63e939ed07.20201229132457.576ef659f7.6f044b64@mail65.atl231.mcsv.net Expected results: The email with that message ID should be focused. In my account, this would give the same result as running with the 'imap-message://' URL, e.g. thunderbird -mail 'imap-message://nathanielmbeaver%40gmail.com@imap.gmail.com/INBOX#45745' Background: Support for mid: URLs was recently added to Thunderbird: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264270 However, currently there is no mechanism to active mid: URLs from outside of Thunderbird as was possible with e.g. the -thunderlink flag. The -mail <URL> flag currently supports these URL schemes: mailbox-message:// imap-message:// news-message:// This is a feature request to support mid: URLs with the -mail flag also. This will require changes to mailnews/base/src/MailNewsCommandLineHandler.jsm, linked below. Reproduced on Thunderbird version 88.0b2.
