So, to the extent that org is my repository of things I have to do and notes related to those things, links to related email messages would be very useful. --Greg -- Gregory T.

Hi, I think there are interesting ideas coming up in this tasks, in =20 particular the question if message IDs can be used to find articles in =20 gnus, even if they have been moved around. I am not sure if this =20 questions has been fully answered, but I have not read the thread =20 carefully enough yet, and certainly not tried Michaels code. Right now I would like to take a little step back and understand =20 better what the original poster is trying to do. I can see that in an Emacs/Planner environment it makes sense to =20 create links to sent emails on the days page. The reason for this is =20 that the planner day page is not only used for listing the planned =20 tasks for the day, but also as a way of creating a daily journal. =20 Sacha Chua's blog shows that she is using it just like that, and I =20 think this is one of te unique and great features of planner. However, the basic setup of Org is different. There is no equivalent =20 of a daily page. The agenda views created by Org are dynamic and list =20 tasks, and the tasks disappear when they are done. Yes, you can look =20 at the achievements of a day by checking closed tasks and log =20 messages, but still this is no equivalent to the planner day pages =20 which is a document that can be edited and preserved for the future. Maybe you can create something similar with Org, but I think it is not =20 straight forward. On the other hand, every decent email program does have a SENT folder, =20 and an easy way to list the emails sent on a specific date. To me it seems that instead of creating a sequential list of links to =20 emails for each day, it would be more interesting to create a way to =20 collect links relating to a project or a task in the outline node of =20 the project, or maybe in an attachment file of the project (if the =20 list of emails is long). Just my 5 cents. - Carsten On Oct 26, 2008, at 6:31 PM, Bill White wrote: > Hi all - > > I'm looking into porting my planner/muse/gnus infrastructure to org. > One indispensible bit of code in my current system writes a gnus =20 > message > link in the current day's planner file every time I send a message =20 > from > gnus.
