Re: [Orgmode] keeping track of sent emails in org?

[Sebastian Rose]

Hi Bill,


to add links to autgoing mails automatically, adding a link to such a
mail once should be enough, to add the right funciton to your
'mail-send-hook' (?? don't no which hook really...) since it's just a
question of the link format.

If no one has done this until now, please share it here. I use gnus,
but I still BCC myself to 'store' my outgoing mail :-)
As for me, I'd prefer a way to keep my outgoing mails directly in
gnus.



Something like this should work:


(setq org-remember-templates
      '(("sent-mails" ?m "* Mail sent %u\n %a\n" "organizer.org" "Sent")))

(defun my-store-link()
  "Docs for my-store-link"
  (org-remember ?m)) ;; the `m' is the short cut for the template.

(add-hook 'your-hook-here 'my-store-link)


I don't know how to suppress the interactive part of it (C-c C-c to
store it away), but sometimes you might add a short note anyway.



Regards,

   Sebastian
