Re: [Orgmode] keeping track of sent emails in org?

[Sebastian Rose]

Hi Bill,


links are one of the great features of Org-mode. Basically, links are
added in two ways:

a) Remember templates (automatic):
   You're reading an email in Gnus or another emacs mail reader, and
   want to add a note somewhere. To do this, you set up (once) a
   so called 'remember template'. See
   http://orgmode.org/manual/Remember.html#Remember how to do this.
   Org automatically adds a link to the mail/file/whatever, which
   brings you back to that mail/file/whatever, as you click on it.

b) Semi-automatic:
   You want to add a link to an email/file/whatever to existing notes.
   To do this, visit the email/file/whatever and press 'C-c l'
   (org-store-link) to store a link to that location for later use.
   Back in your Org-file, you press 'C-c C-l' (org-insert-link),
   which provides you with a list of all stored links during your
   emacs session. You select the last one by pressing 'UP' once, and
   you're done.
   See http://orgmode.org/manual/Handling-links.html#Handling-links

c) By hand:
   Also, you may add links to locations by hand. The syntax for links
   is described here:
   http://orgmode.org/manual/Hyperlinks.html#Hyperlinks



Best regards,

  Sebastian
