Hi,

Here’s an idea. Create a WL link in an org mode file, which will
contain the message id. Then create an emacs function to extract the
message id and perform a regex search on one or more org-mode files.

(defun egh:org-wl-find-entry ()
  (interactive)
  (let* ((msg (elmo-message-entity
               wl-summary-buffer-elmo-folder wl-summary-buffer-current-msg))
         (id (elmo-message-entity-field msg 'message-id)))
  ;;    ... do something in org mode ...

best, Erik
