You cannot expand the body of an email within an org-mode buffer, but you can display it within Emacs by following the link. I don't know if importing the body of the email makes really sense, since we want to keep pieces of informations in their usual places, don't we ? > 3. Can email link record which group it's from and its message id? Here is what an email link looks like : [[gnus:nnml:mail.biblio#1351][balado diffusion]] The first part entails the group and message id. > If so, I wish there is a function to retrieve by message id and > catch all emails in the same thread (from nnml and nnimap groups), > and display them internally in org file. I'm afraid there is no easy way to do this. The first step would be to find an elegant way to export a whole thread from Gnus.. which is not that easy! > I know I'm too greedy and shameless to ask so many questions and > request absolute-non-trivial-job features. But I do wish someday > these can be done. Internally displayed emails is something i've been thinking about when i was trying to make my org file behave like a blogging plateform. Emails would then stand for blogs comments. But i didn't find time to think about it twice. Hope you'll find your way through Org, it's really worth the try! -- Bastien
