I have made some significant enhancements to this, which you can view
at
http://github.com/dabrahams/elisp/commit/2153e812e470d95342889606ebcdf451d3b9223b#L0R740

In particular:

* wl-summary-visit-conversation now not only opens the thread, but
  takes you to the current message in that Summary buffer.

* Used with a prefix argument, it will return you to the exact message
  you were viewing.

* org-store-link, with the advice at
  http://github.com/dabrahams/elisp/commit/2153e812e470d95342889606ebcdf451d3b9223b#L0R790
  will store a link that takes you to the message in its thread
  context.
