Re: [Orgmode] Opening links to Outlook items from Org mode (may be a FR)

Right (trivial): (defun org-open-outlook-url (uid) Open an outlook format url (interactive sGUID: ) (w32-shell-execute nil (format Outlook:%s uid))) (org-add-link-type Outlook 'org-open-outlook-url) I've now got a little toolbar icon now in Outlook that will copy a link which I can yank right into org, and org is capable of following it. Very trivial modification of the macro above to get it to output fully-formatted org-mode links. -- +---+ | Jason F.

Some Googling hasn't turned up anything, so maybe the solution is to switch to GNUs. I like to use org-mode as my central repository of information, and linking to email messages would really round out that functionality. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

If you have the freedom to use Thunderbird, you have the freedom to use Gnus! At work, I'm stuck with Outlook. However, you might look at the following thread, and see if it provides you enough to start rolling your own solution: http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.extensions/browse_thread/thread/a70339619f85a105/f4199f96df3ef426 You might look at this Thunderbird extension, too: http://tobbe.nu/blog/2007/05/29/Thunderbird-extension-remote-message-id-RFC-2111/ -- +---+ | Jason F.
