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
