Hi all, did this thread come to a conclusion? I just checked out 5.09 and could not find any of the patches applied to it, so would assume that it is still hanging in mid-air. Based on a few months of experience with my patches, here is my take: On Fri, 10 Aug 2007 08:56:45 +0200 Carsten Dominik wrote: cd> First about the mairix integration.

People probably don't switch back and forth all the time, but still it might be better to not code this into the system. A kind of generic "org-visit-search-results" that can be set to whatever method is being used with sane defaults might be a cleaner solution. Having a generic link-creation and link-visiting structure into which one can hook the different backends should be the way to go, I guess. Initially I also had a "mairix with thread" and "mairix without thread" link type, but now find myself thinking that it would be better to only have a mairix link and decide during search whether or not to use threads or influence other search parameters. cd> The basic structure of an extension could look like this: Yeah, I think this would work. Is there already a patch out there? Can someone supply a "clean" patch for this that will make it into Org-Mode? I'm willing to have another look at this, but would prefer to work against a proper target. Regards, Georg -- Georg C. F.
