I've got a little sequence I use so often I'd like to automate it, but
am not sure how. Basically it goes:
1. In Gnus, store a link to an email message
2. Call org-capture
3. Choose a template with a REPLY keyword, that gets stored in a certain subtree
4. Pull the last-stored link, to the email message, into the REPLY heading
5. Complete and restore what I had before
If I want to write a single keystroke that does this, how do I insert
the last stored link into the text of the capture template in an elisp
function? Or should I not be using org-capture in a function to begin
with?
Any advice appreciated!
Eric

Can't you just call org-capture from the message and have a link added
automatically with %a in the template? See
[[info:org#Template%20expansion]]. (Caveat: Not tested, I'm not on Gnus.)
Yours,
Christian

Oh, ha! Don't know how I missed that, but you're quite right. It's still
several keypresses, but not so many that it breaks the zone. If I need
something more complex, I'll try Seb's solution.
Thanks to you both!
Eric
