Package: emacs22-common Version: 22.3+1-1.1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Reminded by <20090709005937.ga10...@dario.dodds.net> I realized that it would be pretty useful to map run-mailcap action compose to what emacs already offers with auto-insert-mode.
Quoting run-mailcap(1):
EXAMPLES
...
compose text/html:index.htm
This is a perfect example of what emacs is capable of.
However, since auto-insert-mode is not enabled by default, many users
probably do not know. But the compose action explicitly tells
us the user wants to compose a new document, so template insertion
should be forced in this case.
Without the attached mailcap entries, vim is fired up with a blank new
file when doing "compose text/html:index.htm".
With the attached mailcap entries installed under
/usr/lib/mime/packages,
emacs fires up and asks for the document title. It then automatically
inserts a simple HTML template. The same also works for:
$ compose file.h
$ compose file.hh
$ compose document.ltx
Additionally, as a side benefit, emacs is now also fired up when
doing
$ edit index.html
or
$ edit file.ltx
and the appropriate mode is initialized according to auto-mode-alist.
