New %-escape for remember-templates

New %-escape for remember-templates

[Peder O. Klingenberg]

Hi.

I frequently want to stuff the subject of an email into a heading and
have a link to the mail in the text.  For this, I use remember
templates.  However, none of the standard templates to quite what I
wish.  I want to edit as little as possible when remembering things,
so I made a new %-escape: %s

In case others find it useful, here's a patch.  My org.el is version
4.50.

Because I've noticed that the people that use org-mode tend to keep the latest
version on hand.  The latest is version is 4.63.  I was just really surprised
that you were back so far...

I don't follow the development of org-mode, so I wasn't aware there
was a new version available until scanned the mailinglist archive just
prior to posting the patch.  I'll have a look at the changelog and
consider upgrading when time permits, but round tuits are in short
supply. :)

Oh, I understand completely.  To explain more completely, so I don't sound
like a jerk (oops, too late), I was thinking, at the time, the people that
make patches are the 'cutting edge' people, and _always_ have the latest
version.  Of course, in retrospect, that can't be true, but that _is_ how I
was thinking.

Anyway, have a great day, and I look forward to your updated patches...

I can see how this can be useful, so I will add a generalized version
of your patch to the next version.

Thanks.
