emacstips: Add answers for FCC and notmuch-folders and add view-html script
I was trying to just add the view-html script here, but I noticed that
there were already two unanswered questions, so I made some attempt at
answering them.

\ No newline at end of file + There's a "notmuch-folder" command available in the emacs client + that displays a list of "folders" and the number of messages in + each. Each folder is simply a named search specification. To + configure this mode, edit your ${HOME}/.emacs file and include text + something like the following: + + (setq notmuch-folders '(("inbox" . "tag:inbox") + ("unread" . "tag:inbox AND tag:unread") + ("notmuch" . "tag:inbox AND to:notmuchmail.org"))) + + Of course, you can have any number of folders, each configured + with any supported search terms (see "notmuch help search-terms"). + +* Viewing HTML messages with an external viewer + + The emacs client can often display an HTML message inline, but it + sometimes fails for one reason or another, (or is perhaps inadequate + if you really need to see the graphical presentation of the HTML + message). + + In this case, it can be useful to display the message in an external + viewer, such as a web browser. Here's a little script that Keith + Packard wrote, which he calls view-html: + + #!/bin/sh + dir=3D`mktemp -d` + trap "rm -r $dir" 0 + cat "$@" > "$dir"/msg + if munpack -C "$dir" -t < "$dir"/msg 2>&1 | grep 'Did not find'; then + sed -n '/[Hh][Tt][Mm][Ll]/,$p' "$dir"/msg > $dir/part1.html + rm "$dir"/msg + fi + for i in "$dir"/part*; do + if grep -q -i -e '<html>' -e 'text/html' "$i"; then + iceweasel "$i" & + sleep 3 + exit 0 + fi + done + + Save that script somewhere in your ${PATH}, make it executable, and + change the invocation of iceweasel to any other HTML viewer if + necessary. Then within the emacs client, press "|" to pipe the + current message, then type "view-html". + + Keith mentions the following caveat, "Note that if iceweasel isn't + already running, it seems to shut down when the script exits. I + don't know why." |
