I maintain a log of incoming email and how it's processed as it's own  
mail folder using IMAP. So all I basically do is copy the original  
headers and make the body a short notice about how the mail was  
filtered.

Q. I want to put a link in the body that actually directs me to the  
actual message.

Any url style that Mail.app can follow using an IMAP connection if I  
give it the path to the folder and message id say in the link?

So for example I have the following as the headers
