Ok -- just realized I had left in the selection of a custom
org-capture-template which will likely not be in anyone else's config,
so I made the org-capture-template configurable, and set to nil by default.
Modified script below..
...cj
-- OutlookToEmacsOrg
--
-- This script uses org-protocol to capture the currently selected
message in outlook
-- as an Org item. The item creates a link of type 'mac-outlook' with
the message ID
-- within Outlook that can later be used by mdfind to find that message.
--
-- If more than one message is selected, only the first message is used.
If no message
-- is selected, the script does nothing.
--
-- The Title passed to org-protocol is formatted as "[Sender] Subject",
but could
-- easily be modifed as below to any text.
--
-- See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.html for details
about
-- how org-protocol works.
--
-- This script assumes emacsclient is available via the Carbon Emacs
application, but
-- can be changed via the emacsclientBinary below.
--
-- Script Installation for Outlook
-- 1. Startup AppleScript Editor
-- 2. Paste this script into a new file
-- 3. Save as "OutlookToEmacsOrg" of file type "Script Bundle" in the
directory:
-- /Users/<you>/Library/Application
Support/Microsoft/Office/Outlook Script Menu Items
-- 4. Restart Outlook, and this should show up in the Script menu (the
squiggly next to Help)
--
-- You probably also assign a shortcut via System Preferences.
--
-- Emacs mac-outlook link support, put the following in your .emacs:
--
-- (org-add-link-type "mac-outlook" 'org-mac-outlook-open)
--
-- (defun org-mac-outlook-open (msgid)
-- "Open a message in outlook"
-- (shell-command (format "open \"`mdfind
com_microsoft_outlook_recordID==%s`\"" msgid)))
--
-- Tested on Mac OS X 10.7.3, Emacs 23.4.2, Org 7.8.03, Outlook for Mac 2011
--
-- Special thanks to Lutz Meyer / LuMe96(at)gmail.com -- I got the critical
-- pieces of applescript from OutlookToThings.scpt written by Lutz.
