Description
Hello,
First, I have been reading this page to check the intents k9mail supports. If there is another page dealing with those, sorry for having assumed this one was the only one.
I was wondering whether it would be possible to add a way to open a mail by Message-ID in k9mail. This would allow programs like Orgzly to trigger this intent (is that the correct name? I'm not familiar with Android development at all) and thus support linking to mails to be naturally synced between computer and phone, which would be really great!
What do you think about this?
Cheers,
Leo

Research direction
Start with the linked K-9 Mail intents documentation and review how supported intents are described. Clarify the expected external intent contract for opening a message by Message-ID, including how Orgzly would invoke it, before locating the mail lookup and intent-handling entry points. Done means the proposal has agreed acceptance criteria and the new intent is documented and tested.
