Org-Email for Email storage
org-email is a way of completing email addresses from org-mode files.
Lots of people store email contacts in OrgMode files. Here is how I store mine:
* bill the buck ** email *** billbuck@example1.com ** partner *** Gillie The Girl * lesley lady ** colleague @ woomedia *** CSS programmer ** partner *** Jimmy Screws ** email *** ll@example10.org
org-email offers a simple interface to use completion to insert the correct email address of a person in such a database.
Installing
Just:
M-x package-install [RET] org-email [RET]
I presume you have marmalade-repo installed.
What contact files does it use?
M-x customize-variable [RET] org-email-files
and add whatver files you keep emails in.
Using
Add the function org-email--init-hook to whatever mode you want to complete emails in and it will bind org-email-do-insert to C-SPC.
Update Mon May 27 2013
I've updated the code to include org tags, so you can now use a structure like this:
* list of people ** nic *** nicferrier@example.com :email:
Anything tagged :email: will be used. This does not let you use a name unfortunately. But it's still useful.
