Message-ID: <4CB6057F.3080808@sym.net> (raw)

Hello to All,

I'm using org-mode since a couple of months. I would like to be able to
link to emails from within org-files and I am wondering whether this is
possible using claws-mail. I have googled a few hours but was only able
to solve the problem partly based on a solution integrating mutt [1].

As I do not know very much about lisp - besides extending my .emacs
with snippets I have collected over the time - my adaption is amateurish
and - which is worse - does not work as desired.

I added to my .emacs:

-------------------------8<---------------------------------------------
(defun open-mail-in-claws (message)
   "Open a mail message in Claws.
Message can be specified either by a path pointing inside a
Maildir by Message-ID."
   (interactive "Message-ID: ")
   (shell-command
    (format "claws-mail --select \"%s<%s>\""
					 (substitute-in-file-name
"$HOME/.claws-mail/imapcache/mail.sym.net/butz@sym.net/INBOX/")message)))

;; add support for "claws:ID" links
(org-add-link-type "claws" 'open-mail-in-claws)
-------------------------8<---------------------------------------------

The script has a major problem (besides some more or less grave
restrictions): calling the open-mail-in-claws function makes the buffer
from which I call the script unusable; probably because I do not call
claws in the background (or whatever).

Can anybody give a hint, how this could be done in a better way. Or has
anybody a working solution to open mails in claws-mail from within
org-mode?

Thanks and cheers
Martin
