Here's my hack that works for mairix only.  I think the real fix is
MH-E needs a better way to search for Message-ID.

(add-hook 'org-load-hook (lambda () 
                           (defun org-follow-mhe-link (folder article)
"Follow an MHE link to FOLDER and ARTICLE.
If ARTICLE is nil FOLDER is shown.  If the configuration variable
`org-mhe-search-all-folders' is t and `mh-searcher' is pick,
ARTICLE is searched in all folders.  Indexed searches (swish++,
namazu, and others supported by MH-E) will always search in all
folders."
  (require 'mh-e)
  (require 'mh-search)
  (require 'mh-utils)
  (mh-find-path)
  (if (not article)
      (mh-visit-folder (mh-normalize-folder-name folder))
    (mh-search-choose)
    (if (equal mh-searcher 'pick)
        (progn
          (mh-search folder (list "--message-id" article))
          (when (and org-mhe-search-all-folders
                     (not (org-mhe-get-message-real-folder)))
            (kill-this-buffer)
            (mh-search "+" (list "--message-id" article))))
      (mh-search "+" (list (concat "m:" article)))
    (if (org-mhe-get-message-real-folder)
        (mh-show-msg 1)
      (kill-this-buffer)
      (error "Message not found")))))))
