mairix


I have a foreign IMAP server running mairix just fine. My local mairix
searches and groups talk to the IMAP server fine.

I am looking for some information on how to configure the org-mairix
plugin. In particular the .mairixrc file on the local machine assuming
the org files are local and not accessed by IMAP.

How does on set up the necessary org mairix back end for gnus to talk
to?

Notes on documentation

I was reading over the agenda documentation in my current version of org
(6.08c) and noted a couple of things:

1.  (nit):  in the discussion of finding stuck projects:

"Lets[sic -- Let's] further"

2.  In "The weekly/daily agenda":

"   (1) For backward compatibility, the universal prefix `C-u' causes
all TODO entries to be listed before the agenda.  This feature is
deprecated, use the dedicated TODO list, or a block agenda instead."

Would it be possible to expand this a little?  In particular:

a.  I use this because I like to have the todo list with my weekly
agenda, so that I can pick todo items to schedule in context.  I guess I
don't off-hand see how having a view that only has the todo items would
replace this now-deprecated usage pattern.

b.  Reading this, I didn't know what a "block agenda" was.  Would it be
possible to add a cross reference to the Block Agenda section at this
point so that ignorant readers like me could easily find out more about
block agendas?  I know that one need only look to the table of contents
to find this page, but when reading hypertext documentation one often
drills in deep and doesn't have a good sense of context.  And it would
be an easy addition to make.  [Indeed, the block agenda is exactly what
I should be using...]

I apologize if these have already been fixed in the current git version...

ideas for org-refile

I am just starting to use org-refile.  I read the manual but these
didn't seem to be there.  (It's possible that I missed one or two.)

Maybe they would be of interest?

*** org-refile
***** org-refile: new command to save to the last place saved
thus, you don't need to enter any target.
***** org-refile: accept a region if transient-mark-mode
***** org-refile: allow you to enter a new item
it will create that and refile under it.  might need to experiment
with different interfaces.
***** org-refile: use ido.el or similar when using path method
or iswitchb or anything.el.  obviously you would not want it
to require such packages, but for those who have them.

Thanks.

Error about TODO sequence states with 6.09 on Emacs 22.1.1


  Hi, I'm seeing a problem with TODO states in the latest org-mode version.

.emacs file to reproduce the bug::

---------
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/org-6.09")
(require 'org)

 (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode))
 (define-key global-map "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)

(setq org-agenda-files (quote ("/tmp/test.org")))

(setq debug-on-error t)

(setq org-todo-keywords
      '( (sequence "START(s)" "|" "ENDED(e)")
         (sequence "TODO(t)" "|" "DONE(d)")) )
---------

The file /tmp/test.org must exist, but its content doesn't matter; it can be empty.

Sequence to reproduce the bug:

1. open emacs
2. C-c a a
3. You get this error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp (sequence "START(s)" "|" "ENDED(e)"))

w3m integration for yanking w3m buffers into org


I'm not fully aware of the steps needed to integrate new stuff but for
those using gnus and w3m to read html emails or newsletters then the
following code might interest you for saving portions into org
tasks/items. Let me know if there are any issues - it works well for me!

I have the first code saved as manatee.el and "require" it in.

BUG with artist mode eating blank lines

Following the discussion about artist mode I started to play with this
today and noticed that going in and out of artist mode eats lines in my
org file.

With the following file:

Is there some kind of verbatim environment for org?

Hi,

in an org file I want to insert some ascii art graphics.  In the docs I
found the #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE construct, but that seems to take effect only
when exporting.

If I add my ascii graphic inside such a construct, I get a weired
font-locking [1], and TAB and M-q work as if it was normal text and
garble the graphic.

Is there a mechanism to insert some text verbatim which supresses any
indentation and font-locking (or uses some special face)?

My org version is 6.06b.  That's the one that is in the current Emacs
CVS.

Bye and thanks for org!

Can version 6.08 work in Emacs 21?

Although I use org mode (and love it!) on most of my systems, I have
been using version 4.74 for a long time.  I just upgraded to version
6.08 which works perfectly fine on most of my systems and I really
appreciate all the improvements and new features.  However, my office
desktop, which acts as a server for many of my projects, is running
Debian stable (etch).  Version 6.08 does not appear to work well at
all, especially agenda views and links with the Emacs diary mode.

Is attempting to get org mode 6.08 working with Emacs 21 worthwhile,
especially given that Debian stable will soon be replaced by lenny
(which has Emacs 22)?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice!

Feature-Request/Question: how to apply a calc/elisp function to a column in org-column-view

Hi,

In columnview, I'm looking to be able to apply a calc/elisp function to
a columns values before the column view is generated.  This is
specifically for columnviews captured in tables.

  (see info:org:Capturing column view)

This has come up before, and Carsten was nice enough to make it possible
to recalculate the column view automatically using an existing #+TBLFM
line inside the columnview dynamic block.

However, I would like to *replace* a column's value with a calculated
result.  This is because I am sometimes storing very *large* lists as
properties (large enough that Emacs chokes when trying to manage tables
with such large cells), and then trying to use columnview to generate
tables of calculated properties of these lists.

I realize that this is both an edge-case and a bastardization of the
intended use of columnview, and I would be happy to put the required
effort into implementing such a feature, but I have become tangled in
the columnview code, and don't know where I should look to insert this
functionality.

I was thinking this should be part of either
`org-dblock-write:columnview', or `org-columns', and then I noticed
`org-columns-compute-all' which seemed promising but upon inspection was
somewhat opaque.

Could anyone familiar with org-colview.el point me in the right

Custom links

Hi,

there where questions about custom links here from time to time.
I thought I'd share my way of displaying man pages, info pages
and such.

This is how I set up my custom links:

(setq org-link-abbrev-alist
   '(("man"     . "http://localhost/man.php?q=man&what=%s")
     ("info"    . "http://localhost/man.php?q=info&what=%s")
     ("help"    . "http://localhost/man.php?q=help&what=%s")
     ("apropos" . "http://localhost/man.php?q=apropos&what=%s")
      ;;; etc. several more...
     ))

As you can see here, I prefer to BROWSE man pages.
I hate to clutter my emacs session with buffers like *man*.

The "http://localhost/devel/man.php" is attached to this mail. It's not
the version I use localy (that is included in a knowledge base app I
wrote), but it's just working that way.

The man.php does display links in Org-files like

[[man:man][How to use the man command]]
[[man:man 7][How to write manpages]]
[[help:man][man --help]]
[[info:man][Read about man in info]] needs info2html or info2www.
[[apropos:man][man -k -- find man pages refering to man]]

Question about agenda

I have an org file which the agenda sees in which I put an outline item
with notes from a meeting.  The header for this item is as follows:

* Tasks
...
* * Meeting with XXXX
  SCHEDULED: <2008-10-06 Mon>
...

What I was somewhat surprised to see was that this continues to roll
down my agenda, e.g.:

....
Wednesday   8 October 2008
  smite:      Sched. 3x:  Meeting with XXXXX
....

I think this means that I don't really understand the meaning of
SCHEDULED, nor do I understand how the agendas are composed.  But I'm
looking at the info manual now, and I'm not actually enlightened.

Is there something I should do to tag something SCHEDULED like this so
that it no longer appears in my agenda view as something still to be
done?  Is there a HAPPENED tag, or something like that?

Or, is it the case that I should only use SCHEDULED with todo items?

Any guidance much appreciated.

Best,
