Leven.11 juil.2014à02:39:42 ,GrantRettke g...@wisdomandwonder.com a envoyé ce message: Hi Joseph, What directions did you follow for working with gmail? Kind regards, gcr Hi Grant, Gnus + gmail is pretty well documented. Have a look on http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusGmail . My setup is not very different, but I can send to you my .gnus.el if you want it. I must say that I am already convinced that using gnus alone with org-mode (i.e. with links) is certainly more efficient, but it requires more time to learn it. It is an holiday project. :) Best wishes, Jo.

Please find the patch attached to this mail. I hope you'll find it
useful.
Thanks for your attention.

Subject: [PATCH] org-git-link.el: Add support for line in org-git-ling
* org-git-link.el (org-git-open): Jump to the line if provided in the link.
(org-git-split-string): Parse a third element of the list and change the error
message accordingly.
(org-git-create-git-link): Accept the third optional line argument.
(org-git-store-link): call `org-git-create-git-link' with the current line
number.

[O] How to filter agenda for Word1 OR Word2?
