Hi,

I wrote some scripts to be able to do that. I’ve since stopped using org-mode, but the code is here.

There’s a little bit of howto. It’s been a while since I’ve used it, so might require a little care to get running again.

Mvh

Hi —

I’m trying out MailMate and, so far, I’m quite impressed. Only day 6 of my trial and I’m wondering why I should wait any longer to purchase. I do have one question — please forgive me if it’s been asked before. My search of the listserv archives didn’t turn anything up.

I’d like to create a task formatted for emacs org-mode based on an email I receive in MailMate. So, for example, an email from John Smith, received 2015-12-14 with the subject line “here’s one” and the body text “blah, blah, blah” generates something like this, appended to a plain-text file:

****
* TODO Reply to “Here’s one” from “John Smith”
:PROPERTIES:
:RECEIVED: [2015-12-14]
:END:

“blah, blah, blah”

[Extra points if I can select a part of the body text and have only that part go into the body.]
****

Possible? If so, any hints? (I should say I’m not a programmer, though I’ve been known to write a bash script and even make primitive use of awk and sed.)

Thanks for a great program.

—John
