org links to messages

org links to messages

[Tomas Nordin]

Hello List

I have found this tip: https://notmuchmail.org/emacstips/#index24h2 on
linking to notmuch messages in org-mode. It says:


    Support for linking to notmuch messages is distributed with org-mode,
    but as a contrib file, so you might have to work a bit to load it.

    In Debian and derivatives,

    (add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/org-mode/lisp")

    Then

    (require 'org-notmuch)

I'm on Debian but i cannot find the path that is suggested to be added
to load-path. Also I cannot find org-notmuch.el if there is such a file.

I wonder if somebody can advice how I can make org-links to messages in
a notmuch-show of a message.

Best regards

You might need to install the org-mode package, rather than using the
version of org-mode shipped with emacs.

I danced the following tango:

I installed a more up to date version of org through the emacs package
manager. Might not have been necessary. Then

(add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)

Then I installed the org-plus-contrib package. Now I can make links,
thanks.

I'm glad you got it working. For others reading this that prefer to use
debian packages,

% apt-get install org-mode

should suffice.
