Basically, links are added in two ways: a) Remember templates (automatic): You're reading an email in Gnus or another emacs mail reader, and want to add a note somewhere. To do this, you set up (once) a so called 'remember template'. See http://orgmode.org/manual/Remember.html#Remember how to do this. Org automatically adds a link to the mail/file/whatever, which brings you back to that mail/file/whatever, as you click on it. b) Semi-automatic: You want to add a link to an email/file/whatever to existing notes. To do this, visit the email/file/whatever and press 'C-c l' (org-store-link) to store a link to that location for later use. Back in your Org-file, you press 'C-c C-l' (org-insert-link), which provides you with a list of all stored links during your emacs session. You select the last one by pressing 'UP' once, and you're done. See http://orgmode.org/manual/Handling-links.html#Handling-links c) By hand: Also, you may add links to locations by hand. The syntax for links is described here: http://orgmode.org/manual/Hyperlinks.html#Hyperlinks Best regards, Sebastian 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.
