I've seriously modified/hacked the original ThunderLink extension so that it works with PostBox.

The main changes are:
  • It actually can be loaded into PostBox :)
  • The links use the protocol x-postbox-message which is inherently supported by PostBox
  • The menu items are on the menubar under Tools rather than on the message. This is so I can assign keyboard shortcuts in OSX and also because message menus overlays don't seem to work in PostBox (I suspect because they gave it a different XUL id).
  • You have two choices of what to copy to the clipboard
    • Plain text with the message subject followed by its link
    • A rich/HTML link with the message's subject as its text

You can view/update it on github here - https://github.com/studgeek/thunderlinkpb 

Enjoy!
