capture template question

capture template question

[Eric Abrahamsen]

I have a capture template that I use for noting gnus messages I want to
respond to. What I'd like to end up with is:

* EMAIL Respond to [[gnus.mail:sdfdfdfsdfdsfsdf][Bob Johnson]]

Where the link address is the message under point, and the link
description is the message's %:fromname.

I may be dense, but I don't quite see if/how this is possible…

Thanks!
Eric

An org-capture-templates entry like that should do:

  ("e" "EMAIL" entry
   (file "/home/horn/Repos/org/remember.org") ;; adapt to your needs
   "* EMAIL Respond to %a%?")

In contrast to what you requested, the link's name is something like

  Email from Eric Abrahamsen: capture template question

I think, that's even better.  (Honestly, it seems there's no gnus link
support for picking out only the from-part.) :-)

Bye,

That's what I had before! I hate the big long citation (I seem to get
emails with epic Subject headers), and was trying to make something more
concise.

Rather than trying to add various ways of citing links, perhaps it would
be nice to have a format code for the literal link to the thing under
point at time of capture? What I mean is, something like "%l" so I could
do this:

* EMAIL Respond to [[%l][%:fromname]]%?

Seems like that would add quite a bit of flexibility…

Good idea.  You can now use %l to insert this literal link.

Brilliant! Thank you.

Oh, why I didn't come up with something like that is because the docs
state that %:fromname is not supported by Gnus.

Should gnus also by in the list of vm, wl, mh, mew, and rmail?

Indeed.  Fixed, thanks,

I had always assumed that "for messages also all email fields" meant
that all the codes mentioned for the other MUAs also applied… %:fromname
is working for me out of gnus.
