Hi,
I use Mutt whit Emacs as editor, I'm trying to configure emacs in
order to make use of abook[1] via ExternalAbook[2].
I've folowed theese instructions[2], so I have:
(custom-set-variables '(external-abook-command "abook --mutt-query %s"))
When I run abook query from terminal I get this:
~$ abook --mutt-query emacs
help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org lista-help-emacs
If I write "emacs" in emacs an then call
M-x external-abook-try-expand, I get this:
<lista-help-emacs>
Without email address. I suppose it could still work if I would keep aliases
file up to date, this is not the point.
I'm wondering why emacs expand ´$s´ in <lista-help-emacs>,
where <lista-help-emacs> is the fourth field in
"help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org lista-help-emacs" string[3], when I would expect, at
least, the first one.
--
~$ emacs --version
GNU Emacs 25.1.1
~$ dpkg -l | grep emacs | awk '{print $2,$3}'
emacs25-bin-common 25.1+1-4+deb9u1
emacs25-common 25.1+1-4+deb9u1

Solved, in the ExternalAbook page there is the solution:
