I am not sure if this questions has been fully answered, but I have not read the thread carefully enough yet, and certainly not tried Michaels code. Right now I would like to take a little step back and understand better what the original poster is trying to do. I can see that in an Emacs/Planner environment it makes sense to create links to sent emails on the days page. The reason for this is that the planner day page is not only used for listing the planned tasks for the day, but also as a way of creating a daily journal. Sacha Chua's blog shows that she is using it just like that, and I think this is one of te unique and great features of planner. However, the basic setup of Org is different. There is no equivalent of a daily page. The agenda views created by Org are dynamic and list tasks, and the tasks disappear when they are done. Yes, you can look at the achievements of a day by checking closed tasks and log messages, but still this is no equivalent to the planner day pages which is a document that can be edited and preserved for the future. Maybe you can create something similar with Org, but I think it is not straight forward. On the other hand, every decent email program does have a SENT folder, and an easy way to list the emails sent on a specific date. To me it seems that instead of creating a sequential list of links to emails for each day, it would be more interesting to create a way to collect links relating to a project or a task in the outline node of the project, or maybe in an attachment file of the project (if the list of emails is long). Just my 5 cents. - Carsten On Oct 26, 2008, at 6:31 PM, Bill White wrote: > Hi all - > > I'm looking into porting my planner/muse/gnus infrastructure to org. > One indispensible bit of code in my current system writes a gnus > message > link in the current day's planner file every time I send a message > from > gnus.
