I'm trying to use mu4e~compose-mail instead of message-compose, I guess
mostly because I want to be able to use the mu4e email address completion
features in the `To:` header.  And it wouldalso be nice to save the email
to the appropriate mu folder.   But I didn't seem to be able to make mu4e
bounce back to my buffer no matter what I do, and though mu4e~compose-mail
accepts a return-action argument it doesn't actually use it :-(.

Can you explain to me what yo umean by "added in local mode" -- how is that
achieved?

Meanwhile, htis is what I've done and it seems to work:

(eval (car (read-from-string
            (concat
             "(advice-add 'mu4e~switch-back-to-mu4e-buffer  :after
                            (lambda ()
                              (switch-to-buffer
                               (get-buffer \""
             (buffer-name)
             "\" ))
                              (advice-remove
'mu4e~switch-back-to-mu4e-buffer \"om-temp-advice\"))
                            '((name . \"om-temp-advice\")))"))))

seems a little baroque. Maybe what you have there is way better.  I don't
really undertand backquotes and leading ocmmas even now.
