Hi I decided to use org-capture and the corresponding org-capture-templates to save mail into an org file. For example the following works #+begin_src emacs-lisp (setq org-capture-templates '(("hi" "Hg Issues Discussions" entry (file+headline "~/Some-file.org" "Issues") "** %^{Task} %T : %:from %:subject %^G\n- From :: %:from\n- Subject :: %:subject\n- Date :: %:date\n- Email :: %a\n\n%?\n%i"))) #+end_src However the mail body is only included if I mark it before calling org-capture. Is there any function/variable I miss that would insert the body automatically like %:body Thanks Uwe Brauer -- I strongly condemn Hamas heinous despicable pogroms/atrocities on Israel I strongly condemn Putin's war of aggression against Ukraine. I support to deliver weapons to Ukraine's military. I support the EU and NATO membership of Ukraine.
