Hi,
I've trying to further automate my maintainer tasks by moving things
into babel snippets. I have one to find a cover letter and edit the
file:
#+name: edit-cover-letter
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var cover=create-qemu-pull[0]
(find-file (expand-file-name (concat default-directory (car cover))))
(mail-mode)
#+end_src
However when I run the code although the file is loaded and in the right
mode I never see the buffer come up and have to switch to it manually. I
expect this is because the code is running under some sort of
safe-excursion. Is there anyway to pass a final buffer back to org-mode
after the code is run and switch to it?

Actually I don't know why the switch to the other buffer does not apply
with the babel execution.
For a practical realization you could use a timer.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var cover="cover.txt"
(let ((buf (find-file cover)))
(mail-mode)
(run-at-time 1 nil #'switch-to-buffer buf))
#+end_src
Ciao
Marco
