Basically, when reading an email (in gnus, in wl, in other emacs MUAs
possibly), type "C-c l" (org-store-link) which will /store/ a link to
that email ("store" is the wrong word, in my view; it should arguably be
"make" or "create" or "define" or ... but that's neither here nor
there).  You can then put that link in an org file with "C-c C-l RET"
(org-store-link, accepting the default which should be the last link you
stored).

If you later open the link (C-c C-o, org-open-at-point), it should start
up gnus and show you that email.  I switched from wl to gnus partly
because this procedure works marginally better in gnus than in wl.
