That's a good question. I'm pretty sure it's a general problem, but I haven't tried myself yet. This is part of the string given to Todoist:

	message://%253c5A5A03CC-FC01-4ED2-A3C4-61971EC37312@uni-potsdam.de%253e

That is a URL encoded version of the string that MailMate would like to get into Todoist which is this:

	message://%3c5A5A03CC-FC01-4ED2-A3C4-61971EC37312@uni-potsdam.de%3e

This should, when it's decoded (by Apple Mail or MailMate) result in this Message-ID:

	<5A5A03CC-FC01-4ED2-A3C4-61971EC37312 at uni-potsdam.de>

So, why is the string given to Todoist double-encoded. Well, that's because it's given as a URL string itself in the `content` argument as (kind of) documented by Todoist [here](https://developer.todoist.com/guides/#views).

So, I don't *think* the Todoist bundle (MailMate) is to blame. But we needs things to work so if they insist then I'll have to look into a workaround.
