You should be able to do that already. Not sure what mail agent you use, but I use MH-E. If I want to link a mail msg to org, I do this: 1 - Type C-c l (org-store-link) which stores this message in a buffer (may be a ring actually). 2 - pop over to your org-mode buffer, get to the correct location (or use remember) and hit C-c C-l (org-insert-link) That's it. Opening that link in org-mode will open up the email message. I have mh-e set up to use mairix as my mail indexing tool, and a cron job that runs mairix once an hour. Org-mode uses mairix to pull out the message from the appropriate place (pretty sure it does this using the message ID). The mh-e manual gives detailed instructions on setting up mh-e with mairix (or other indexing tools, such as swish etc). I suspect you could also use gnus, VM etc. Now clearly this depends on you using an emacs mail agent, but why wouldn't you ? You can spend your whole working life inside emacs. Add viper-mode for those of us with vi hardwired into our brains, and you have productivity Nirvana! :-) Pete
