However: I am jealous of the ease with which everyone emails subtrees around, and I would like to be able to do that. My current usecase is marking student papers. I havea macro that generates this subtree ** Student name | Clarity of Thesis | | | Organization | | | Presentation of Evidence | | | Etc | | I want to fill out this form, key in a command, and have emacs prompt me for an email (or look the email up somewhere?) and generate a mail buffer with this subtree as its contents; optionally attach a .doc or .pdf attachement; and send the htmlized buffer for me, saving the sent mail either to my IMAP Sent folder or my local mbox Sent folder.

Matt, you could either use Emacs' RMAIL-Mode to do this. Or you could try mutt (which is the perfect companion to things like org-mode, IMO) als your mailer. >It would be nice if it had access to my contacts, either via GMail or >through thunderbbird (those are synced, I think).

I wonder if it's even necessary to have *any* sort of MUA set up in Emacs, if all you're doing is sending email? Many email programs paper over the distinction between sending and receiving/reading email, but I think the Emacs-based tools preserve that distinction pretty well. Message-mode is built in, and I use it in conjunction with the msmtp program, like so: (setq message-send-mail-function 'message-send-mail-with-sendmail) (setq sendmail-program "msmtp") Check the docstring for the *variable* `message-send-mail-function', and that should get you started. If you're only using a single account for sending, that should be significantly simpler. Look at `user-mail-address' and all that. Then just call `compose-mail'! To answer the original question, the org-mime library in Org's contrib/lisp directory is probably what you want for htmlizing buffers and sending them as email.

I'll include a shameless-plug-cum-general-recommendation: I use org-attach a lot to keep files associated with Org headings, and to me this feels like a natural use-case for that. I wrote a library called Gnorb (in the package manager) that provides some glue-code between Gnus and Org (and BBDB), and there are a few hooks in there that might be useful to you. It sounds like you're digesting quite a bit all at once, so you probably don't want to install all of Gnorb. If you're interested in some of the bits, I might be able to peel those off into separate functions: specifically, taking files from the org-attach directory and attaching them to outgoing emails being sent from an Org heading.

Thanks once again, I've extracted some code that ought to be useful. (defun org-attachment-list (&optional id) "Get a list of files (absolute filenames) attached to the current heading, or the heading indicated by optional argument ID." (when (featurep 'org-attach) (let* ((attach-dir (save-excursion (when id (org-id-goto id)) (org-attach-dir t))) (files (mapcar (lambda (f) (expand-file-name f attach-dir)) (org-attach-file-list attach-dir)))) files))) (defun query-attach-files (files) (map-y-or-n-p (lambda (a) (format "Attach %s to outgoing message? " (file-name-nondirectory a))) (lambda (a) (mml-attach-file a (mm-default-file-encoding a) nil "attachment")) files '("file" "files" "attach"))) Then your entry point function could use those functions: (defun mime-send-mail () "org-mime-subtree and HTMLize" (interactive) (org-mark-subtree) (let ((subject (nth 4 (org-heading-components))) (files (org-attachment-list))) (org-mime-subtree) (insert "\nBest,\nMP.\n") (org-mime-htmlize) (query-attach-files files) (message-goto-to))) See how that works for now -- there will be plenty of adjustments you might want to make. One thing that occurred to me is, because `org-mime-subtree' uses the export process, you can use property substitution in the body of the subtree/email. So if you have a property like "GRADE" or something, you can insert that into the body at export time using {{{property(GRADE)}}}. You didn't really ask for that, but I'll bet it might come in handy.

Matt, you can get to the PARENT headline like this: (defun org-inspect () (interactive) (org-mark-subtree) (save-excursion (re-search-backward "^\\* ") (message (nth 4 (org-heading-components))) (sit-for 2))) and still have your marked subtree afterwards.

When composing a new message it checks conditions (the first entry in a list). So in your gnus buffer you can put your cursor on the mail group you want to send from and it'll pick up the appropriate profile. Though personally I typically change the profile with `rasmus/message-change-posting-style' after starting a new message buffer (see below). Sort of like how "Gnus Alias" but for posting-styles. > What does `rasmus/gnus-posting-style-identity' do exactly? I put the code here.

Sort of like how "Gnus Alias" but for posting-styles. Ah, that's what I thought -- I really don't like having to go to a group to compose a message of a certain type. I should probably just start using gnus alias... >> What does `rasmus/gnus-posting-style-identity' do exactly? > > I put the code here.

Gnus alias was somehow worse at guessing this, though I don't remember the details any longer. In my setup I can change the From-profile via C-c p, much like GA.

Let's neither of us hold our breath on that one :) But yes, it has always seemed to me like there was something missing in Gnus proper here... ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread
