When clicking a link like <xxx@news.com>, TB should behave like KNode and ask if
it is a Message ID or a eMail address, and take the corresponding action.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
When clicking a link like <news:42810d26$0$308$626a14ce@news.free.fr>,
Thunderbird should recognize it as a link to the message-id
42810d26$0$308$626a14ce@news.free.fr, and show this message.

An additional nice-to-have would be to do like Xnews: if the message isn't
available on the server anymore, offer to launch Google News:
<http://www.google.com/groups?as_umsgid=42810d26%240%24308%24626a14ce@news.free.fr&lr=&hl=fr>

http://messageidfinder.mozdev.org/ does have some of this functionality.

Actually it does (can) not know whether it should handle the link in a messagepane as an email address or a message id. But it can be used there by context menu.

In headerpane etc. it works well with left click.
