save email(gnus) in org format

[Uwe Brauer via General discussions about Org-mode.]

Hi

Vanilla gnus offers to save single messages in the following format 

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* gnus-summary-save-in-rmail (Rmail format)
* gnus-summary-save-in-mail (Unix mail format)
* gnus-summary-save-in-folder (MH folder)
* gnus-summary-save-in-file (article format)
* gnus-summary-save-body-in-file (article body)
* gnus-summary-save-in-vm (use VM’s folder format)
* gnus-summary-write-to-file (article format -- overwrite)
* gnus-summary-write-body-to-file (article body -- overwrite)
* gnus-summary-save-in-pipe (article format)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


Does somebody knows about a package that allows to save in org format,
where the org header is the from field, say


Thanks

I think it is interesting idea. 

How about instead of converting, only displaying it in Org format?

I am using Org for display and dashboards, automatically generated. So
tools like mu4e could be used to display the e-mail by using extra
function, to make it Org viewable format.

Even automatic hyperlinking could be involved.

Even I'm interested, I have to craft a way of saving things with org.

I noticed during Orgmeetup, yantar92 (Ihor, the Org maintainer) does
org-capture on mail.

Related config I found in config
(https://github.com/yantar92/emacs-config/blob/master/config.org#capture-mail-to-org-task)

The author uses notmuch and another external package (org-capture-xref),
but I think for gnus the backend should be easy to implement.

Hope so you know, we can compose mail in org as well, using org-mime.
