save email in org format

save email in org format

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

Vanilla gnus offers to save single messages in the following format 

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* gnus-summary-save-in-rmail (Rmail format)
* gnus-summary-save-in-mail (Unix mail format)
* gnus-summary-save-in-folder (MH folder)
* gnus-summary-save-in-file (article format)
* gnus-summary-save-body-in-file (article body)
* gnus-summary-save-in-vm (use VM’s folder format)
* gnus-summary-write-to-file (article format -- overwrite)
* gnus-summary-write-body-to-file (article body -- overwrite)
* gnus-summary-save-in-pipe (article format)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


Does somebody knows about a package that allows to save in org format, where the org header is the from field, say

Thanks

Since an email body has no hierarchy, you only mean to convert headers
into org headers, am I right? If so I guess you could pipe ('|') it to a
sed command that does only that.

If you mean for a whole thread (with 'M-&'), you could insert as many
asterisks as gnus-summary-thread-level in advance.
