Compose mail in a new frae or new elscreen

Compose mail in a new frae or new elscreen

[Sander Boer]

Hi,

I've been researching this topic and coming up empty.
I've looked at the elscreen-wl source and found it's basically a
defadvice injecting the creation of an elscreen before the message
buffer is created and killing it when done.
I have a hunch somthing similar can be done with gnus-setup-message, but
defadvice and defmacro's are a bit out of my reach I'm afraid.

Does anybody have any tips or experience with the subject ?


thx

This will probably be what you look for:

ftp://ftp.jpl.org/pub/elisp/message-multiple-frames.el.gz

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;;; Commentary:

;; For instance, install this file in the directory somewhere which is
;; listed in `load-path', put the following line in your ~/.gnus.el file:
;;
;;(require 'message-multiple-frames)
;;
;; and you will be able to use multiple message frames.  If you use
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This is exactly what I was looking for !
I am replying in a new frame as we speak.

(supercite still messes with my gnus windows, but that is temporary.)

Thank you.

Did your research include `compose-mail-other-frame', bound to C-x 5 m
by default? If so, how does that fail to satisfy your needs?

Actually, that is what started it all, I composed new messages in a new
frame and now I want to Reply or FollowUp in a new frame also.
