Enhancement: bundle access to recipient and other headers?

#1852

I've been using the org-mode bundle to grab the contents of mail to a file
https://github.com/alls0rts/org-mode.mmbundle

I would like to be able to also get the sender's name and received date.

Currently I am able to accomplish this using a combination of "open in Apple Mail" and then using a Service to inform emacs to grab the mail using a modified org-mac-grab-link to capture the email contents, subject, link, sender and date via apple script.

Getting access to sender & date directly in the bundle would be great.

Thanks,
Stacey

    You can get any header value into an environment variable by using the environment key in the .mmCommand file. Here's an example:

    environment   = 'MM_DATE=${#date-received}\nMM_FROM=${from}\nMM_SUBJECT=${subject}\nMM_MESSAGE_ID=${message-id.split}\n';

    You might prefer from.address or subject.body or some other specifier variant.

    Does that help?

    • Tag changed from bundle to environment documentation, bundle

    Wow! Thanks Benny that looks to be exactly what I am looking for.

    And armed with that I found once again MailMate bundles for fun and profit which documents bundles and how to edit said files and even discusses the environment setting.

    Thanks,
    Stacey

    I'm lucky that someone else at least documented part of what bundles can do :) (It's still a high priority for me to get some documentation written on this.)
