My approach was to define a bookmark as a URL whose protocol is "mailmessage", so that I could use Emacs' url.el library to parse it and ange-ftp.el to access remote //[USER@]HOST folders. However, I wrote it as an add-on to VM, so the code that actually views the folder and selects the message would have to be converted to Rmail. And it would have to be extended to handle IMAP folders (cf. file folders). -- Kevin Rodgers
