 ** Using Gnorb for Tracking Email TODOs

-incoming and outgoing under one TODO representing a conversation -- it
-works best if things match up at both ends. Specifically:

+:END:
+
+Tracking correspondences between Org TODOs and email messages is one
+of the more complicated things that Gnorb does, and thus requires a
+little setup. Tracking relies on the Gnus registry, so that must be
+installed (ie you've called `gnus-registry-initialize' somewhere). It
+also relies on Org ids, so you'll want to require 'org-id, and set
+`org-id-track-globally' to t (that's the default anyway).
+
+Once that's done, call `gnorb-tracking-initialize' after loading
+Gnorb.
+
+In addition, Gnorb can provide the very useful service of opening nnir
+*Summary* buffers containing all the messages linked to from a given
+subtree, see [[id:89ec2ade-5686-402e-a23c-2af36325d1f3][Showing gnus messages 
from links in Org buffers]] below.
+
+NOTE: If you were using an earlier version of Gnorb that stored
+correspondences in Org properties, you can transition to the newer
+system with the function `gnorb-registry-transition-from-props'. See
+the docstring for details.
+
 *** Capture templates for emails
 Most people will be using plain capture templates to create TODOs from
-messages. You'll almost always want to save a link to the message, so
-you can get back to it later. Once the TODO is made, you can call
-`gnorb-org-handle-mail' on it, to look for message and mail links and
-automatically start a reply to the original message. The option
-`gnorb-org-mail-scan-strategies' determines how the TODO heading and
-its subtree are scanned for links -- see the docstring of that option.
-
-Your capture template should therefore put the link where
-`gnorb-org-handle-mail' can find it. Say your capture template looks
+messages. When the TODO is made, Gnorb will record the connection
+between the message and the TODO, using the Gnus registry. Later, you
+can call `gnorb-org-handle-mail' on the TODO: Gnorb will find the
+associated message and start a reply to it.
+
+If you've made a TODO that doesn't have any messages associated with
+it yet (for instance, a TODO reminding you to email someone), then
+Gnorb will look for gnus:, mailto:, or bbdb: links in the subtree, and
+act on them accordingly.
+
+The option `gnorb-org-mail-scan-scope' determines how many paragraphs
+of the subtree will be scanned for links. 0 means only the heading
+text, a positive integer means the heading plus that many paragraphs
+of body text, and any other non-nil value means the whole subtree will
+be scanned.
+
+Your capture templates should therefore put links where
+`gnorb-org-handle-mail' can find them. Say your capture template looks

-paragraph of body text.
+In this case, you'll want to set `gnorb-org-mail-scan-scope' to at
+least 1, to scan the first paragraph of body text.
+
+The same goes for "remind me to email so-and-so" TODOs. The mailto: or
+bbdb: link pointing at so-and-so should be located where
+`gnorb-org-handle-mail' can find it.
+
+In fact, you can use any Org TODO as a starting point for
+`gnorb-org-handle-mail'. Gnorb will do its best to find mail-related
+information from the subtree, but if it can't it will simply start
+composing a blank message. When the message is sent, it will be
+associated with the TODO.
 
 *** Tracking conversations
-It can be useful to use a single TODO heading to keep track of the
-salient points of an entire email back-and-forth conversation -- a
-business negotiation, for instance. You can do this by using TODO
-keywords that trigger state-change notes, and putting links to emails
-into those notes. That way, your logbook becomes a full record of the
-conversation.
-
-For example, you might have two keywords, "REPLY" and "WAIT", which
-both trigger state-change notes. Say you call `gnorb-org-handle-mail'
-on a heading that's set to "REPLY", then send the email. You'll be
-returned to the heading and prompted to change its state. Change it to
-"WAIT" and leave a note.
-
-When you receive a reply to your sent email, call
-`gnorb-gnus-incoming-do-todo' on that message. You'll be taken back to
-the TODO, and again prompted to change its state. Change it to
-"REPLY", and again leave a note. Gnorb stores a link to the incoming
-message automatically, so insert the link into the note.
-
-Now your TODO has a logdrawer with a link to the most
-recently-received email in the most recent state-change note. If
-`gnorb-org-mail-scan-state-changes' is set to 'first, then the next
-time you call `gnorb-org-handle-mail' on the heading, everything else
-will be disregarded in favor of replying to that most recent email.
-
-That way, you can use the paired keywords "REPLY" and "WAIT", and the
-paired functions `gnorb-org-handle-mail' and
-`gnorb-gnus-incoming-do-todo', to play a sort of email ping-pong.
-
-Of course you don't /have/ to use this sort of system, Gnorb just
-gives you the bits and pieces to put it together.
-
-PS: What if you receive an email that's relevant to a TODO, and just
-want to reply to it on the spot (ie, without going through the whole
-`gnorb-gnus-incoming-do-todo' and state-change rigmarole)? In that
-case, you can use `gnorb-gnus-outgoing-do-todo' on the reply as you're
-composing it (or right after you've sent it), and Gnorb will notice
-that it is part of an ongoing conversation. The only thing it
-(currently) won't do is automatically store a link to the message you
-just replied to, so if you want to put that into the conversation,
-you'll have to do it manually.
+You can use Gnorb to remind you to reply to a message, to track
+extended email conversations, or to manage complex email-centric
+projects.
+
+The principle is simple: Incoming and outgoing messages are all
+associated with an Org heading, or its sub-headings. Outgoing messages
+are created by calling `gnorb-org-handle-mail' on an Org TODO, which
+starts a reply or a new message, depending on the state of the TODO.
+Incoming messages are associated with TODOs by calling
+`gnorb-gnus-incoming-do-todo' on the message, and choosing the TODO.
+
+In both cases, you'll be asked to "trigger an action" on the TODO in
+question. Actions including changing TODO state (and associating the
+message with the TODO), taking a note (and associating the message),
+just associating the message, and doing nothing at all. We're also
+planning trigger actions that will capture new headings as children or
+siblings of the original TODO, but that's not done yet. You can also
+provide your own actions.
+
+In this way, a single TODO collects an entire conversation of emails.
+If you have subtrees as a part of the original TODO, each subtree has
+its own collection of emails, which are inherited by the parent. To
+view all these messages in a single Gnus *Summary* buffer, see 
[[id:89ec2ade-5686-402e-a23c-2af36325d1f3][Showing
+gnus messages from links in Org buffers]] below.
 *** Hinting in Gnus
 When you receive new mails that might be relevant to existing Org
 TODOs, Gnorb can alert you to that fact. When
 `gnorb-gnus-hint-relevant-article' is t (the default), Gnorb will
 display a message in the minibuffer when opening potentially relevant
-messages. You can then use `gnorb-gnus-incoming-to-todo' to act on
-them: usually triggering a state change on the relevant TODO.

 ** Showing gnus messages from links in Org buffers

-  "This option controls how `gnorb-org-handle-mail' scans the
-subtree under point for links, and what it does with the links it
-finds. It is a list of up to three elements, representing three
-different scanning strategies. The first is used when calling the
-function with no prefix arg; the second is used with a single
-\\[universal-argument], and the third with a double
-\\[universal-argument]. You can thus prepare different scanning
-strategies in advance, and choose whichever is appropriate.
-
-Each \"strategy\" will usually be a list of two items. The first
-item determines how the heading's state-change notes are scanned,
-the second item governs how the heading's body text is scanned.
-If the scan of the state notes produces usable links, the second
-item will be disregarded -- the rest of the heading won't be
-scanned at all. This is because, if you're responding to message
-links in the state-notes, they probably represent later messages
-in an ongoing conversation. If you want a particular strategy to
-always skip the state notes, just set the first item to nil.
-
-The state specification is an alist with two possible keys: :type
-and :scope. The :type key can be set to either 'state or 'note,
-which means the scanning process will only consider logdrawer
-items of one sort or the other. Setting the key to anything
-lese (or leaving it out) means both state-change notes and
-regular notes will be scanned. The :scope key controls how many
-items will be scanned. Set to a positive integer to scan that
-many items. The symbol 'first is a synonym for 1. The symbol
-'first-link means scan each state note until one containing links
-is found, and use only links from that item. The symbol 'all
-means scan all state notes.
-
-The second specification is used when the state-notes scan
-produces no results, or was skipped with a nil specification.
-This second item can be 0, meaning only scan the text of the
-heading itself; a positive integer, meaning scan that many
-paragraphs of body text; the symbol 'text, meaning scan the
-entire body text; or the symbol 'subtree, meaning scan the
-heading's text and all its subtrees.
-
-Instead of a two-value specification, a strategy can just be a
-single symbol: 'all will scan both the state notes and the body
-text, and 'offer will collect all the links in the entire subtree
-and pop up a buffer allowing the user to choose which links to
-act on [this is a lie, 'offer hasn't been implemented yet].
-
-Lastly, any of the elements can be a symbol representing a custom
-function. When placed in the state-log or body-text
-specifications, the function will be called in a temporary buffer
-containing only the text of the state-log drawer, or the body
-text, respectively. If the entire strategy is replaced by a
-function name, that function will be called with point at the
-beginning of the heading. Custom functions can use the internal
-function `gnorb-scan-links' to return the appropriate alist of
-links.
-
-If `gnorb-org-handle-mail' is called while the region is active,
-this variable will be disregarded entirely, and only the active
-region will be scanned for links. If you call
-`gnorb-org-handle-mail' with a prefix argument while the region
-is active, it will look for links everywhere _but_ the active
-region.
-
-If all that sounds confusing, consider the default value:
-
-'(((:type state :scope first-link) 1)
-  (nil text)
-  offer)
-
-With no prefix arg, `gnorb-org-handle-mail' will look into the
-logbook, and look at each state log item (skipping regular notes)
-until it finds a state log with links in it, then operate on all
-the links in that log item. If it finds nothing in the drawer, it
-will scan the text of the heading, and the first paragraph of
-body text.
-
-With one prefix arg, it will always ignore the state-change
-notes, instead scanning the heading and the entirety of its body
-text.
+(defcustom gnorb-org-mail-scan-scope 2

+with a prefix arg, the heading and body text of the subtree under

+How this function behaves depends on whether you're using Gnorb
+for email tracking, also on the prefix arg, and on the active
+region.
+
+If tracking is enabled and there is no prefix arg, Gnorb will
+begin a reply to the newest associated message that wasn't sent
+by the user -- ie, the Sender header doesn't match
+`user-mail-address' or `message-alternative-emails'.
+
+If tracking is enabled and there is a prefix arg, ignore the
+tracked messages and instead scan the subtree for mail-related
+links. This means links prefixed with gnus:, mailto:, or bbdb:.
+See `gnorb-org-mail-scan-scope' to limit the scope of this scan.
+Do something appropriate with the resulting links.
+
+With a double prefix arg, ignore all tracked messages and all
+links, and compose a blank new message.
+
+If tracking is enabled and you want to reply to a
+specific (earlier) message in the tracking history, use
+`gnorb-org-view' to open an nnir *Summary* buffer containing all
+the messages, and reply to the one you want. Your reply will be
+automatically tracked, as well.
+
+If tracking is not enabled and you want to use a specific link in
+the subtree as a basis for the email action, then put the region
+around that link before you call this message."

+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; Early on, Gnorb's message/todo tracking was done by relying on the
+;; user to insert links to received messages into an Org heading, and
+;; by automatically storing the Message-Ids of sent messages in a
+;; property (`gnorb-org-msg-id-key', defaulting to GNORB_MSG_ID) on
+;; the same heading. The heading could find all relevant messages by
+;; combining the links (incoming) and the IDs of the Gnorb-specific
+;; property (outgoing).
+;;
+;; In the end, this proved to be fragile and messy. Enter the
+;; registry. The Gnus registry is a specialization of a general
+;; "registry" library -- it's possible to roll your own. If you want
+;; to track connections between messages and Org headings, it's an
+;; obvious choice: Each relevant message is stored in the registry,
+;; keyed on its Message-ID, and the org-ids of all relevant headings
+;; are stored in a custom property, in our case gnorb-ids. This allows
+;; us to keep all Gnorb-specific data in one place, without polluting
+;; Org files or Gnus messages, persistent on disk, and with the added
+;; bonus of providing a place to keep arbitrary additional metadata.
+;;
+;; The drawback is that the connections are no longer readily visible
+;; to the user (they need to query the registry to see them), and it
+;; becomes perhaps a bit more difficult (but only a bit) to keep
+;; registry data in sync with the current state of the user's Gnus and
+;; Org files. But a clear win, in the end.
