Re: [Orgmode] Integration of Org mode and mairix

[Georg C. F. Greve]

Hi all,

did this thread come to a conclusion? I just checked out 5.09 and could
not find any of the patches applied to it, so would assume that it is
still hanging in mid-air.

Based on a few months of experience with my patches, here is my take:

Not necessarily, it would make the link dependent on the MUA, which
would otherwise not be the case. People probably don't switch back and
forth all the time, but still it might be better to not code this into
the system.

A kind of generic "org-visit-search-results" that can be set to whatever
method is being used with sane defaults might be a cleaner solution.

Having a generic link-creation and link-visiting structure into which
one can hook the different backends should be the way to go, I guess.

Initially I also had a "mairix with thread" and "mairix without thread"
link type, but now find myself thinking that it would be better to only
have a mairix link and decide during search whether or not to use
threads or influence other search parameters.

Yeah, I think this would work.

Is there already a patch out there? Can someone supply a "clean" patch
for this that will make it into Org-Mode? I'm willing to have another
look at this, but would prefer to work against a proper target.

Regards,
Georg
