One of the beagle guys was looking at this, but due to a complete mis-representation of what they were after they were directed to a different approach.
Currently evolution cannot open just a message - it can only open a message on a folder. It would be non-trivial to change this. You could just use the CORBA remote-access api coming with 2.4 to append a message to a mailbox, and then view that somehow ... Infact there is no way to open a 'file' uri anyway, because there are different backends over different frontends, etc. Another non-trivial amount of work required here.
