SUMMARY
I'm actually doing my work with kmail: Questions are coming in via e-mail. I'm
using org-mode (https://orgmode.org/) to organize everything. It would be very
helpful to put a link into my org-file to the e-mail which I received or wrote
on that topic.

This does not depend on Emacs or org-mode: Anybody who uses e-mails for work
will need, at least once in a while, a way to link to such an e-mail.

As of today, it is rather difficult to have any link to a specific e-mail.
kmail neither makes the message-ID available, nor the path to the email (which
may change from new to cur). The possible solution is discussed in this thread
here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2023-01/msg00698.html 

There has been a suggestion to use URI sheme "mid:", but if that idea from 1998
is the smartest thing to implement in 2023? However, probably a solution would
be very useful for many users.
