Help in Emacs config

Help in Emacs config

Hi,

I have justed strated using `notmuch' in Emacs (doom configuration), and I love
it! However, there are a couple of things I'd like help with.

1. I have a number of accounts that I use. How do I configure my config to save
   draft messages based on the "From" header?
2. From time to time, I want to view `html' content in my browser. Does anyone
   have any tips on how I would do this? I have tried the below but this did not
   seem to work:

,----
| (add-to-list 'mailcap-mime-data
|              '("text/html" (viewer . "open -a /Applications/Firefox.app")
|                (type . ,(purecopy "text/html"))
|                (test . ,(purecopy "/usr/bin/file -i -L -b %s | grep -q '^.*: *text/html;'"))))
`----

Any help is greatly appreciated, and please let me know if you need more
information about my request.

Thanks in advance.


Kind Regards,

Great! I'm glad it's useful for you.

I'm not sure what you're looking for here. Do you want drafts saved in
different locations?

At some level, a draft message is just another message, so you can
search for drafts based on the "From" header just like any other
message.

This seems to work out of the box for me.

From looking at the contents of my mailcap-mime-data variable, what
sticks out to me is that "text" and then "html" are at different levels
in the structure such as:

 ("text"
  ("html"
   (viewer . "/usr/bin/firefox '%s'")
   (type . "text/html")
   ("nametemplate" . "%s.html")
   (test . t)
   ("description" . "HTML Text")
   (source . user)))

Have fun with notmuch!

There currently isn't any automated filing rules in the way that
notmuch-fcc-dirs works. It could be done, if there was sufficient
interest (and somebody did it!),

Not sure if this is what you are after, but you can choose ". o" and
give the name of a browser.
