Mail files in org


Is it possible to structure a large collection of emails in an org file ? Are there any specific tools for
doing this ?

I have used pine for many years but the business of categorizing sensibly into folders the hundreds of mails
which 
come each week is out of hand. Googlemail is offering a single file of emails, with (multiple) `tabs' replacing
the functionality of folders. This seems like a great step forward, but I don't like GUIs, and I'm not happy
that on 
googlemail it seems not to be possible to download an email to disk with header information. (And I don't
want all
my emails permanently on someone else's server.)

Maybe this has been thought of already, but I can't see it anywhere. I've never used mail under emacs (though
I've used
emacs for about 12 years). 

What I have in mind is a single text file containing (say) one year's 10^5 emails. I could go through
attaching tabs, 
TODO notes, draft replies, rude remarks, tags, ... able to open a specific category ...

If I'm reinventing the wheel, please don't be too harsh. 

Chas

DOH! - [Fwd: Suggestions for features OR Help?]

Before anyone does, I'll ping myself with an "RTFM!"  :)

Found my answer in the org manual, page 39.

However, it shows the 33% (by the example below), not the computed 65%.
 Anyone know if that method is possible?

Thanks.

Hello All,

I'm fairly new to Org-Mode, but common to Emacs.  I've have a need to
create a task which is made up of sub-tasks.  Each sub-task in turn has
actions which comprise it.

Each action, I'd like it to have a checkbox so that the sub-task can
track percent complete.  Like so:

  * Sub-Task [66%]
    - [X] Action 1
    - [ ] Action 2
    - [X] Action 3

Hello All,

I'm fairly new to Org-Mode, but common to Emacs.  I've have a need to

    - [X] Action 1
    - [ ] Action 2
    - [X] Action 3

Once the sub-task is complete, I can set it's TODO label:

  * COMPLETED Sub-Task [100%] - 2008/08/08 17:33:00

This is already how Org-mode works obviously.  My question/request is
this: is there a way to also track completeness via percentages for the
sub-tasks (headings)?  So I would have/see the following:

 * Primary Task [65%]
  * COMPLETED Sub-Task 1 [100%] - 2008/08/08 17:33:00...
  * Sub-Task 2 [24%]...
  * Sub-Task 3 [72%]...

The primary task percent would be based on 3 sub-tasks of equal weight, so:
  (1*.33) + (.24*.33) + (.72*.33) = 65%

HTML export: how to delimit escaped HTML entity?

This is probably bonehead simple, but so far that bone seems to be broken here.

The entities in org-html-entities work fine for me as long as followed by a 
space (or another \-escaped entity), but I can't seem to discover how 
they're delimited within a word.

E.g.
	"Ren\eacute " produces  "Ren&eacute; "

which is just fine; but I've failed to find a way to get the correct

	"&Aacute;stor"

out of any combination of "\Aacute" and "stor".

	"\Aacutestor" -> "\Aacutestor"
	"\Aacute stor" (naturally) -> "&Aacute; stor"

and nothing I've tried by way of analogy with shells (e.g. "\{Aacute}stor") 
or other syntax ("\Aacute\stor"? "\Aacute$stor"? etc.) has produced anything 
but the same string in the generated code.

I'm sure my ignorance of {insert bonehead lacuna here} is showing, but does 
anyone know how to enter poor old Sr Piazzolla's given name into an org file 
so that it will export?

Thanks -- and repeated & continual thanks to Carsten and all other generous 
contributors.

Exporting Properties

Hi,

Can anyone tell me a good way to export the custom property block. I
am trying to use org-mode as a project planner and I need to allow
other team members to see the estimates in my plan.

Thanks,
Charlie

question concerning table mode / vsum / automatic adjustments of indices

I mostly have the same application of using org tables.
I have (many) columns with numbers and want to see the sum in the last row.

See this little example:

        |-------+--------|
        | items | amount |
        |-------+--------|
        | a     |    0.5 |
        | b     |    0.0 |
        | c     |    0.5 |
        |-------+--------|
        | sum   |     1. |
        |-------+--------|
#+TBLFM:    @5$2=vsum(@2..4)

Having the cursor on the row with "c"
and pressing <M-S-DOWN> I get this:

        |-------+--------|
        | items | amount |
        |-------+--------|
        | a     |    0.5 |
        | b     |    0.0 |
        |       |        |
        | c     |    0.5 |
        |-------+--------|
        | sum   |     1. |
        |-------+--------|
#+TBLFM:    @6$2=vsum(@2..@5)

Org-remember items are stored to the wrong headline

Hi all,

I use org-mode which is included in Emacs 23 from CVS (a current
checkout).  This is my relevant config for org-remember:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(require 'remember)
(setq org-default-notes-file "~/repos/org/main.org"
      org-remember-default-headline "Remember"
      org-remember-templates 
      '(;; TODOs
        ("todo-template" ?t "* TODO %?\n  (created: %U)\n  %i\n  %a")
        ;; Ideas
        ("idea-template" ?i "* Idea: %^{Title}\n  (created: %U)\n  %?\n  %i\n  %a")
        ;; Notes
        ("note-template" ?n "* Note: %?\n  (created: %U)\n  %i\n  %a")))
(setq remember-annotation-functions     '(org-remember-annotation)
      remember-handler-functions        '(org-remember-handler)
      org-remember-store-without-prompt t)
(add-hook 'remember-mode-hook 'org-remember-apply-template)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c o r") 'org-remember)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The structure of my main.org file is as follows:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Remember
#+CATEGORY: Remember

Using numbers w/ commas in spreadsheets?

Is it possible to work w/ numbers w/ commas in 'spreadsheets'?

 

when trying to add 3,000 to 4,000 below...

  =$1+$2

... yields 7

 

and this works but is long winded:

  <at> 2$3='(+ (string-to-number (replace-regexp-in-string "," "" $1)) (string-to-number (replace-regexp-in-string "," "" $2)) )

 

I reviewed the chapter on tables... am I missing something simple?

 

Thanks

 

| one     | two     | sum                   |

|---------+---------+-----------------------|

| 3000    | 4000    | 7000                  |

| 3,000   | 4,000   | 7                     |

| 3,000   | 4,000   | 7000                  |

| "3,000" | "4,000" | [103, 88, 96, 96, 96] |

| 3\,000  | 4\,000  | #ERROR                |

| '3,000' | '4,000' | #ERROR                |

#+TBLFM: <at> 2$3='(+ (string-to-number (replace-regexp-in-string "," "" $1)) (string-to-number (replace-regexp-in-string "," "" $2)) ):: <at> 3$3=$1+$2

This happens already if you press tab with the cursor 
located inside a table, so this is probably an org issue.

Eric, did you know that Carsten provided a function called 
org-table-to-lisp in org-6.06b?  I think with this you can 
refactor your code to be more modular and thus better 
maintainable and extensible.

Regards,
	Stephan

problem with appointments not cancelling


I have the following in one of my org files but the reminder is still
popping up (or was until the original scheduled time was passed). What
do I need to call to have a cancelled org entry removed from the
reminder mechanism? I use the gtk reminder system and include the code
below. Does the org-agenda-to-appt not remove closed/cancelled entries?
(Note I changed the run-at-time parameters to run now and repeat every
while).

1) org entry

** CANCELED gf 
   SCHEDULED: <2008-08-26 Tue 14:00> CLOSED: [2008-08-26 Tue 13:50]

2) code

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; For org appointment reminders

; 5 minute warnings
(setq appt-message-warning-time '15)
(setq appt-display-interval '5)

; Update appt each time agenda opened.
(add-hook 'org-finalize-agenda-hook 'org-agenda-to-appt)

; Setup zenify, we tell appt to use window, and replace default function
(setq appt-display-format 'window)
(setq appt-disp-window-function (function my-appt-disp-window))

(defun my-appt-disp-window (min-to-app new-time msg)                      
  (save-window-excursion (shell-command (concat 
    "/usr/bin/zenity --info --title='Appointment' --text='" 
    msg
    "' &"
    ) nil nil)
))

;; activate and schedule refresh
(appt-activate t)
(run-at-time nil 3600 'org-agenda-to-appt)

Publish HTML tutorial

Hello,

I just pushed a little Publishing tutorial to Worg:

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-publish-html-tutorial.php

Critics and help welcome.

And worgers: feel free to edit.

I tried to keep it simply in the first place, so don't
expect to learn tons of new things if you're familiar
with Org publishing.

Cheers,

  - Sebastian
