I want to integrate my use of mutt with org-mairix.el and remember.el. Because mutt is an external application, I need some way of getting a Message-Id which has been extracted from a message via a mutt helper back into emacs. Currently I do this by coding the helper to dump the Message-Id into ~/.clip-mairix, and then the elisp code inserts the contents of this file back into the org buffer. However I would like it to be inserted via a remember template, hence the request. Calling remember via emacsclient might possibly be an alternate way of achieving the same thing, but I haven't thought about this yet. If one were to embed the text being passed from the mutt helper in the CLI arguments to emacsclient, quoting might end up getting quite hairy. Allowing the remember template to extract the message id from the environment via getenv might be a cleaner solution in that case. That was the main use case, but I am sure people could think of others. Here is another one which is a bit silly but demonstrates the point (and would be more conveniently invoked from within emacs than via emacsclient): I have just started maintaining a journal of my laptop's battery life to see whether it can be extended much by doing full discharges more regularly. So every day or two I want to log the output of commands like: grep 'last full' /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info This could easily be accomplished if remember templates allowed syntax such as ,------ | * %T | %(shell-command-to-string "grep 'last full' /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info") `------ _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
