how do you compose mails in Gnus with org-mode

[zwz]

Hi, all

Would you like to share your configuration of how to compose mails by org-mode.
I start org-mode by M-x org-mode, and found it not appelling at all.

Org-mode is not a mail mode. It certainly would not be suitable as a
major mode for composing mail.

Are you perhaps referring to using org for tables and plain lists in
mail messages? In that case you can activate a couple of minor modes
(orgtbl-mode, orgstruct-mode) by hooking them into your major mail
mode.

Instructions can be found here:

how do you compose mails in Gnus with org-mode

[Joseph Vidal-Rosset]

Hello,

I know that the subject of my email exists already.
[[https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2009-08/msg00855.html]]

But  I'm  loosing  to  much  time   in  searching  the  solution  of  my
"problem". I would be happy to get in Gnus the same function that exists
in mu4e that is org-mu4e-compose-org-mode.  Supposing that I want to reply
to an email, I  would be glad to write my reply in  a org file and, once
finished this reply,  going back to gnus to be  able to org-mime-htmlize
it and send it.
At the moment the only solution that I  have is to quit gnus in order to
make an org file that I copy and paste in the reply. I am convinced that
a better solution  exists, but I am  unable to find it  (ideally the org
file for such a reply would contain the bibliography link by default).

Your help will be very welcome,

Best wishes,

Jo.

You don't have to quit gnus or even switch to another
buffer/file.  Simply change the mode to org (M-x org-mode RET), compose
your email, switch back to message mode (M-x message-mode RET), htmlize
the email and send it.

Many thanks Eric! I suspected that  there should be a simple solution,
but I did not expected that it was so much simple!

I am applying what you say in replying to you. And it works perfectly!

I am going  to define two keybindings  for this and I would  be happy if
you could suggest to me how adding automatically this link

[[bibliography:/home/joseph/MEGA/org/reforg.bib]]

with the command M-x org-mode RET . But if you need time for this last
point, forget it, you helped me a lot already .

Thanks again !

Jo.

PS: After  an upgrade, my "org-mime-htmlize"  does not work any  more at
the moment, but that is another topic.

I am not sure I understand what you wish to do.  If it is to always add
that line to the message you are composing when you switch to org-mode,
the natural way would be through a hook but that hook would apply to any
other org files as well.  Alternatively, you could use the signature
methods in gnus?

In any case, I'm not sure what you would gain by adding that link to an
email as htmlize will not do anything reasonable with it?

The first option would be the best for me: because my use of org-mode is
mainly for my work and I am always pasting this link in new org file. It
is boring. If you  could me help to define such a hook,  I will be again
indebted to you. But  please do it only if it is  not time consuming for
you.

htmlize works  again now  in my  setup. Strangely  I saw  that I  had to
install jupyter...

I use autoinsert to automatically insert contents into new files.  Look
at autoinsert.el in your emacs distribution.  I do the following:

  (require 'autoinsert)
  (push '(org-mode . "/SOMEPATH/orgskeleton.org") auto-insert-alist)
  (add-hook 'find-file-hook 'auto-insert)

where orgskeleton.org has the initial contents I want inserted into any
new org file.  These include settings and some default headlines in my
case.

Very strange.  I do not have jupyter installed, as far as I know.

Many thanks Eric, it is very kind of you to help me so much.

autoinsert works well  for new org files,  it is a first  good point for
me. I receive this message: Perform org-mode auto-insertion? (y or n)
and after replying "y" I get my org file with the bibliography link.

Unfortunately, it does not work in Gnus with the command M-x org-mode on
a reply to a message, and I do not understand why.

Regards, and thanks again !

This is a wonderful resource, but I wonder if I can ask how to set up email using emacs?   I’ve failed multiple times to do this using several solutions that are suggested. My main accounts are with iCloud and Exchange and I have never managed to log in through the suggested methods.  I’m obviously doing something basic incorrectly. 

Is there a really simple guide to setting this up?  

Best wishes,
Brian

Hello,

It is difficult  to give you and  advice, because as you  know there are
many email clients for emacs.

Maybe you can  read this web page  first, that could help you  to make a
choice:

[[https://wwwtech.de/articles/2016/jul/my-personal-mail-setup]]

I am using  Gnus with Gmail, and  it works smoothly. I  do not believe
that I will change now. But it is time consuming to get the convenient
setup. 

If Gnus  can be you  choice, I will  be happy to  help you, as  I can,
because there many  people in this list that are  more experts than me
(Eric Fraga for example). 

Best wishes, 

Jo.

Because switching to org mode is not creating a new file but simply
changing the mode of an existing buffer.  Autoinsert is only for new
files.  What you could do is customise gnus to create your email buffer
with the right content instead.

If there is a predictable circumstance when you want to effect this
auto-insertion in emails, I would suggest you look at gnus posting
styles (section 5.6 of the gnus info manual).  You can specify a default
"body" for an email when created (along with other things, typically a
signature).  For instance, the signature on this email is automatically
inserted by gnus when I respond to an email in the org mailing list.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq gnus-posting-styles
        '((".*:lists.org"
           (signature esf/orgmode-signature-version))))
#+end_src 

(much abridged) where lists.org is the group in which org emails are
split to (by gnus) and

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun esf/orgmode-signature-version ()
    (format "Eric S Fraga via Emacs %s, Org %s\n"
            emacs-version (org-git-version)))
#+end_src 

You could also consider defining entries in *gnus-alias-identity-alist*
which you can then invoke manually on specific emails using
gnus-alias-use-identity, which I have bound to C-c i.  This can insert
default text in the body as well as do other things, much like posting
styles.

gnus is much like org in that if there's something you want to do,
there's more than likely a solution already!  Well, actually, I guess
this is really a feature of emacs...

This works perfectly for your subject:

It has already been described several time how to configure
outshine/outorg that it works with message-mode too.

Its actually quite easy. Configure outshine like described in the
README, and add outline-minor-mode to message-mode-hook in your .emacs.

,----
| (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'outline-minor-mode)
| (add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'outline-minor-mode))

Then with M-# # your email (open in message-mode, gnus) will be opened
in an org-mode buffer for editing in org-mode.

Looks very similar to opening a source-block in org-mode to edit the
sources in the programming language mode.

Thanks for the pointer, but alas it does not work in a gnus message/mail
buffer.

When I use that function I obtain the following error:

I just realised that you are the author of that package. Sorry.

I set

(require 'outshine)

(add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'outline-minor-mode)

But when I fire up outorg-edit-as-org in a reply message I obtain the

Hello,
I' pretty sure your outshine config is not complete:

Here is what I have:

at the top of my .emacs:

,----
| ;; *** Global Keys
| 
| ;; must be set before outline is loaded
| (defvar outline-minor-mode-prefix "\M-#")
`----

then somewhere inside my .emacs (don't worry about "try-require", simply
use "require" in your code). outorg-export is optional too (but useful
for special needs in outorg exporting), I would highly recomment
navi-mode though (very fast navigation in outshine buffers).

,----

ok, maybe I answered the wrong message, does not look that incomplete
actually. Maybe try a copy of my config.

I used outorg-edit-as-org to insert and evaluate these source blocks
directly in this email, so for me it works:

Wow, emacs 27 ... I'm on Archlinux and always thought packages a pretty
up-to-date.

Maybe outline has changed somehow between Emacs 25 and Emacs 27?
But I don't think so, the error you send is pretty typical for
incomplete configuration.

> Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Before first heading")
>   signal(error ("Before first heading"))
>   error("Before first heading")
>   outline-back-to-heading()

is typical when 

,----
| outorg-prepare-message-mode-buffer-for-editing ()
`----

has not run, it turns this line into a 1st level org headline thus
converting any kind of message body into an org file.

,----
| * --text follows this line--
| Uwe Brauer <oub@mat.ucm.es> writes:
`----

without this, the error is justified - an org file without a single 
org headline is no org file at all.

You could try to write an email with these lines:

,----
| * 1st level
| ** 2nd level
| some text
`----

put point on some text an call outorg, to see if it works.

Another option would be to use edebug:
open outorg.el, put point into 'outorg-edit-as-org', and call M-x
edebug-defun. Then convert an email again, and go step-by-step with
SPACE key, and see how far you get.

When done, call 'load-library' on outorg.el to get rid of edebug
instrumentation.

Right Ubuntu officially only ships 24, which is pretty old.

Well it is directly form git master, so it is a pre release.
The official release is 26.

I think at the weekend, I will debug the problem. It might be that there
some parts of my init file which are in conflict with your package.

Right.

BTW, you recommended
  (require 'outorg-export)

I installed your package via the package system, so I don't see that
file. Where can I obtain it from?

Then Archlinux is not that much out of date.

A good start would be to try outshine with emacs-lisp mode.
With your outshine config done, write a file like foo.el

,----
| ;;; 1st level header
| ;;;; Sum
| (+ 1 1)
| ;;;; Subtract
| (- 2 1)
`----

or

,----
| ;; * 1st level header
| ;; ** Sum
| (+ 1 1)
| ;; ** Subtract
| (- 2 1)
`----

and see if you got headline fontification and all the outshine
functionality.

If that works, its a message-mode problem.
If not, a genereal problem with your config.

To avoid confusion, the official release is still 25.3. The next
release, which is probably still a ways off, will be 26.1 The 27 version
is really bleeding edge, containing changes which are considered too
risky for the next release. I'm not sure how frequently bug fixes for
26.1 are merged into the development branch.

From a previous post, I think you mentioned you were running from git
master from mid/late last year. If your running from git master, I think
you need to pull fairly regularly as bugs are frequently fixed and you
could be tripping over something which has already been addressed. 

I suspect you are likely to run into a number of bugs with the latest
development version of emacs and you are probably one of the very few
who are looking at bugs in that version. Good luck.

That seems to work, I opened your outorg buffer and there everything
worked as expected.

Thanks for the clarification. But in order to compile 26, I would need
to checkout the 26 from the git repo? Do I understand that correctly?

Well I started to use that version at a time a specific BIDI function
was only in master but not in the official release. Later a similar
thing occurred with vc.el.

Ah no. I am running emacs git master from end of January. I am running
the git/master version of org mode from last june. Why? Well Nic put in
some very useful stuff in org-table (not in the official release now),
but then later in September/October the whole template engine was
changed in master and I could not find out you to make it work again,
that is why I stick to that very particular org version.

Yeah maybe. At least this way reporting them I could contribute a bit to
GNU emacs. :-D

Yes, you need to checkout the 26 branch to get the next version to be
released. A git branch -a will probably list all the branches and you
should see one labelled 26 (I'm not running emacs from git at present, so
cannot check). I believe git 26 has been in 'feature freeze' for a while
while they try to sort out the main bugs needing to be fixed before 26.1
can be released.

Note also that I believe the template changes in org are not in the maint
branch, only master. So you could try  the maint btranch as that would at
least have known bugs fixed.

Problem with the main branch is that the nice feature for the org
tables, namely very wide columns get somehow hidden, is not included....

When I do M-# # writing this mail I see:
,----

| (Meta-Key and #)
| * --text follows this line--

`----

I suggest edebug then, as written, this must run successfully:

I almost see the same but indented since I user supercite. I will
deactivate it for the moment being, but I doubt this is the problem
since your function also should work for a new mail buffer not just a
reply one, am I right? So supercite should be irrelevant there.

I tried to do what I always do in such cases (at least if memory serves
me right). I put all outorg startup code in a file
start emacs -q and then load that file.

However when I do that, emacs tells me he does not find outshine and
outorg, although they are in $HOME/.emacs.d/elpa


So does emacs -q not ready anymore those files installed via the package
system. I am confused.

My outorg_init file is

,----
| 
| (defvar outline-minor-mode-prefix "\M-#")
| 
| (require 'outline)
| (require 'outshine)
| 
| (add-hook 'outline-minor-mode-hook 'outshine-hook-function)
| (add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'outline-minor-mode)
| 
| (require 'outorg)
|  
| (when (require 'outline)
|  (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'outline-minor-mode)
|  (add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'outline-minor-mode))
|  
|  ;; outorg-export
|  (require 'outorg-export)
|  (require 'navi-mode)
|  ;; outshine
| 
| 
|  
|  (setq outshine-use-speed-commands t)
|  
|  ;; navi-mode
| (add-hook 'outline-minor-mode-hook 'outshine-hook-function)
| 
| (provide 'outorg_init)

I found the culprit

(setq message-yank-prefix "   > ")

No idea why I had this, but may be it is ages there. Just moving it out
my init files and everything worked as expected. Thanks

Isn't that the problem already?

In an org file, this:

,----
| * headline
|  * headline
| hello
`----

has only one headline, indentation for the * is not allowed.

[a outline regexp problem] (was: [SOLVED])

[Uwe Brauer]

 
   > Uwe Brauer <oub@mat.ucm.es> writes: 
 
   > Ok, good ... ;-) 
 
However I run into a problem with my daily workflow. I am using 
very often bookmark.el by Karl Fogel.   Especially I have the 
following setting 
   
(defun my-set-outline-bookmark () 
   (interactive) (message "Now the outline-regexp is set to \" 
   [A-Z]*:1.1\" ")) 
  
 (add-hook 'bookmark-bmenu-mode-hook 'hide-body) (add-hook 
 'bookmark-bmenu-mode-hook 'turn-on-outline-minor-mode) (add-hook 
 'bookmark-bmenu-mode-hook 'my-set-outline-bookmark) 
 
However with the outorg setting and the outline mode, I obtain now 
an  Cannot calculate outcommented outline-regexp without 
’comment-start’ character defined!   The culprit is
 
(add-hook 'outline-minor-mode-hook 'outshine-hook-function)
I will write Adam Porter.
