Thank you very much. > > Regards, Basically, when reading an email (in gnus, in wl, in other emacs MUAs possibly), type "C-c l" (org-store-link) which will /store/ a link to that email ("store" is the wrong word, in my view; it should arguably be "make" or "create" or "define" or ... but that's neither here nor there). You can then put that link in an org file with "C-c C-l RET" (org-store-link, accepting the default which should be the last link you stored). If you later open the link (C-c C-o, org-open-at-point), it should start up gnus and show you that email. I switched from wl to gnus partly because this procedure works marginally better in gnus than in wl. -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 23.2.1 : using Org-mode version 7.3 (release_7.3.162.g8e74)
