I have been working with it for a couple of weeks, and it's helped me in many ways. Here's the first. I have lots of emails on various topics that I would like to harvest into work files, and develop into blog postings, little essays and the like. Is org-mode a useful way to link together a bunch of emails? I use gmail. Any other suggestions?
