Version 1.6.11 of package Gnorb has just been released in GNU ELPA. You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.
Gnorb describes itself as: ===================================== Glue code between Gnus, Org, and BBDB ===================================== More at https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/gnorb.html ## Summary: 1 Gnorb ═══════ Glue code between the Gnus, Org, and BBDB packages for Emacs. This package connects Emacs-based email, project management, and contact management a little more closely together. The goal is to reduce friction when manipulating TODOs, contacts, messages, and files. Probably the most interesting thing Gnorb does is tracking correspondences between Gnus email messages and Org headings. Rather than "turning your inbox into a TODO list", as some software puts it, Gnorb (kind of) does the opposite: turning your TODO headings into mini mailboxes. See the Info manual for details. ## Recent NEWS: GNU Emacs Gnorb NEWS -- history of user-visible changes. -*- org -*- * Version 1.2 [2017-03-21 Tue] ** Add `gnorb-install-defaults' New command for installing sane default bindings. * Version 1.1.3 [2017-03-12 Sun] ** Provide a better interface for trigger action selection New function `gnorb-select-from-list' providing a nicer interface for choosing items from a list. ** Change to format of gnorb-org-trigger-actions Due to previous item, this custom option has changed format, see docstring for details. ** Compatibility with newest BBDB Updates to match newest version of BBDB in package repos (mostly with regard to displaying multi-line field values, BBDB is now lexically bound). ** Many compiler fixes, and lexical binding Move to lexical binding. * Version 1.1.0 [2015-04-23 Thu] ** New trigger actions Two new trigger actions allow you to capture a new sibling or child heading relative to the heading you're triggering. ** Persistent Gnorb groups Give a prefix argument to `gnorb-org-view' to create a named, persistent group containing tracked headings. ** Gnorb registry usage reports Call `gnorb-report-tracking-usage' to see how much of the Gnus registry Gnorb is occupying, and run cleaning routines. * Version 1.0.1 [2014-10-22 Wed] ** Deleting associations It's now possible to delete associations between messages and headings; the user is also prompted to do this at a few points. ** Link following Following links to messages is a little more clever, and will re-use existing windows/frames when possible. ** Cleanups/Bugfixes Proper autoloads, addressing compiler warnings, better chain of requires, bugfixes. * Version 1 [2014-10-07 Tue] ** First Elpa Version ** Email Tracking The mechanism for email tracking has changed since Gnorb was made available on Elpa.
