If you really want index - in that you have a custom markup that explicityl specifies what an index is - you can go with etags or ctags. ---------------------------------------------------------------- (info "(mairix-el) Top") Mairix comes to mind. The descriptions specifically talk about Emails. Aren't the Emails files as well? I don't know. | mairix.el--Mairix interface for Emacs | ************************************* | | Mairix is a tool for indexing and searching words in locally stored | mail. It was written by Richard Curnow and is licensed under the GPL. | | `mairix.el' is an interface to the mairix search engine. It allows | you to call mairix with a search term, easily create searches based on | the currently displayed mail, save regularly used searches in your | `.emacs' for future use and lets you call mairix for updating the | database. ---------------------------------------------------------------- There is also notes-mode in ELPA (which I have looked at). It has slightly different notion of what a Index is and it relies on perl-mode. ---------------------------------------------------------------- If you are just looking for free form index just a plain rgrep should suffice, I think. Or you take in to a slightly higher level and "consider" an Org headline as specifying an Index. ---------------------------------------------------------------- You need to really tell us what you mean by an Index :-) > > Thanks, > Martin
