hi guys,
so i've finally set up my little laptop as a sort of emacs typewriter --
i log in to an openbox session with emacs running full screen, in an
effort to reduce distractions. now sometimes i'll write something that
i want to email out somewhere. I keep my contacts in evolution, which i
can query from mutt using this python script i found on the mutt wiki:
http://wiki.mutt.org/?QueryCommand/EvolutionSearch . one strategy is to
start a terminal emulator, invoke mutt, use emacsclient as the editor,
copy the contents of the relevant buffer into the message... that's not
really so bad, but i'd rather have a command i can invoke directly from
an active buffer that does something like "put the contents of the
current buffer into the body of a mail message addressed to an address i
cna get out of my contacts files". anyone do anytghing like this? i
guess i could also use one of the emacs mail modes ratherthan mutt --
i'm releuctant to do that just cause i don't want to learn another MUA
hwen i already feel like i have too many -- but if it's much easier i'd
definitely be open to it.
anyway, thanks as always for your help.
matt
