Sending TODO items automatically to a specified email address

Sending TODO items automatically to a specified email address

Hi there,

Does anybody know how to send TODO as email attachment. What would be nice
is if the TODO item is in the message and the text below it is an
attachment. Basically, this is how I remind myself of things that I need to
get done.

Actually, what would be nice is if I could configured org to send TODOs
within next week (or some other  time frame) automatically to specified
email address.

Best  wishes

Marvin

What format of an attachment would you want to be hooked to the e-mail
(html, xml, txt, pdf)?   I think that once you figure that out, write the
function to generate that the rest is downhill.  I have just started using
GNUS but I imagine it or one of the email programs in emacs or through a
python script an email could easily be sent.

The first step is to export selected entries to text files:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun org-export-headings-to-ascii (&optional match scope)
  "Export headings from the current buffer to ascii files."
  (interactive)
  (org-map-entries
   (lambda ()
     (org-mark-subtree)
     (let ((head (org-get-heading))
	   (beg (point))
	   (end (org-end-of-subtree)))
       (org-export-region-as-ascii beg end t (get-buffer-create head))
       (with-current-buffer
	   (get-buffer-create head)
	 (write-file 
	  (concat (replace-regexp-in-string " " "_" head) ".txt")))))
   ;; see org-map-entries docstring
   match scope))
#+end_src

Then to attach the files, which depends on what MUA you use.

HTH,

By the way I use Mac mail, hopefully this shouldn't be a problem
