Björn,

Thank you very much for the reply.

In fact, when I use M-x browse-url on a message://[string] URL, Emacs properly opens it in the mail application.

I guess it might be an org-mode issue then, since the org-mode file where I have the URL properly recognizes a https:// URL as being clickable but not a message:// URL.

It looks like it’s an already solved issue, though:
https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/45403/is-it-possible-to-create-clickable-links-to-macos-mail-app-email-via-message

It would be good if org-mode could recognize that protocol out of the box...
