Ted Roden: Re: message: links

[Nick Dokos]

Ted seems to have meant to copy the list, but since he didn't, I am taking
the liberty of forwarding his message.

Awesome, thanks for pointing that out. The documentation available  
inside emacs was for an old installation of org-mode and it doesn't  
appear to have that section. I was able to find that section on the  
site though.

In case anyone else wants it, I just added the following code to  
my  .emacs file and it works like a charm now. Keep in mind, this will  
probably only work on a mac (I'm using the "open" command).

(require 'org)
(org-add-link-type "message" 'org-message-open)

(defun org-message-open (path)
   "Open message:// links in the registered mail reader on a mac."
   (shell-command (concat "open message:" path)))

Hi Nick,

thanks for forwarding, and thanks for answering to Ted's question.  I  
really appreciate if people do this as much as possible and in this  
way save me work.

As additional info:

A recent version of Org will also contain the module org-mac-message.el
(written by no other than John Wiegley) which will implement following  
message links just like Ted did.  In addition to this, it will allow  
you to create a link to the currently active message in Mail.app.  I  
use this to create links to emails with remember templates.  I have an  
"e" template defined like this.

("Emailtask" ?e "* TODO %?\n  %(org-mac-message-get-link)" "~/org/ 
gtd.org" "Tasks" nil)

It will create a remember buffer that already contains a link to that  
message.

- Carsten
