Oh man, thanks for trying to fix this - as you say, links don't appear to work under macos. I've been a Thunderbird user for many, many years, but the lack of being able to easily insert a link to an email is very nice feature, and causing me to ditch TBird in favour of the built in mac Mail client. Do appreciate your work though!

@Txeni: That is pretty straightforward in cb_background.js

 let author  = the_message.author
 let date    = the_message.date
 let subject = the_message.subject
 let cblink  =  utoa(date.toJSON() + ";" + author)

and

// 
// https://base64.guru/developers/javascript/examples/unicode-strings
//
// Unicode to ASCII (encode data to Base64)
// @param {string} data
// @return {string}
//

function utoa(data) {
  return btoa(unescape(encodeURIComponent(data)));
}

This is amazing, thanks sooooo much, I updated today to thunderbird 78 and I was in total panic about Thunderbird not working.
One question, could you explain how you transform from message-date and message-author to the base64 string in the cb_thunderlink? Or maybe direct me to where this is in the code? I cannot find it and it would be great to know to feel completely future proof...

Yes, I do : thunderbird.exe -thunderlink ... does not work anymore.
This is explained in more detail here, in particular on the OS integration.
Long story short, if you need the equivalent, you need to issue cb_thunderlink.py (cb)thunderlink://.... The OS integration does take care of that, so normally you would not do this manually, but it is possible.

Hey, I install the extension in Thunderbird 64bit. I generated a link and pasted it using the dedicated button. This works. Then I tried to test the Windows CMD for OS integration by
call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -thunderlink "MjAyMS0wMi0xMlQxMzowMjo0NC4wMDBaO1BhdmxpbmEgQmlub3ZhIDxiaW5vdmFAcmVrLnpjdS5jej4="
and nothing happened. In the console I saw the error generated by "cb_background.js" which read:
Uncaught out of memory handle_incoming_link cbthunderlink://MjAyMS0wMi0xMlQxMzowMjo0NC4wMDBaO1BhdmxpbmEgQmlub3ZhIDxiaW5vdmFAcmVrLnpjdS5jej4=
Any ideas what might be wrong?

Don Felder - Joe Walsh - Hotel California

2019-05-25Camiel BouchierMusic0

I do not understand why they label this as a solo. After all, it are two guitarists with the whole band in support. But .... unbelievable strong guitar playing by Don Felder and Joe Walsh.
