a small correction. THIS: (kill-new (concat "[[notmuch:id:" (replace-regexp-in-string "[<>]" "" msg-id) "][" (replace-regexp-in-string "[\]\\[]" "_" subject) "]]")) is the correct way how to make the link and the subject into the kill ring. The thing is, that subject must not contain [] (as e.g. [O]) so I have replaced that by underscores. As well the message-id comes with <> wrapping which has to be removed for the link to be working. .d. David Belohrad <david@belohrad.ch> writes: > dear all, > > thanks for fruitful hints.
