Subject: Mail files in org
Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2008 14:54:22 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <BLU103-W14CEB273E3BF3078B175B0E5600@phx.gbl> (raw)
Is it possible to structure a large collection of emails in an org file ? Are there any specific tools for doing this ?
I have used pine for many years but the business of categorizing sensibly into folders the hundreds of mails which
come each week is out of hand. Googlemail is offering a single file of emails, with (multiple) `tabs' replacing
the functionality of folders. This seems like a great step forward, but I don't like GUIs, and I'm not happy that on
googlemail it seems not to be possible to download an email to disk with header information. (And I don't want all
my emails permanently on someone else's server.)
Maybe this has been thought of already, but I can't see it anywhere. I've never used mail under emacs (though I've used
emacs for about 12 years).
What I have in mind is a single text file containing (say) one year's 10^5 emails. I could go through attaching tabs,
TODO notes, draft replies, rude remarks, tags, ... able to open a specific category ...
If I'm reinventing the wheel, please don't be too harsh.
Chas
