[O] importing and compliting contacts [WAS:email ui choices?]
Also, I'm wondering what the best way is to deal with contacts. Can I import my existing contacts into org-contacts? And if so, do I get tab completion in a message-mode buffer for those contacts?

[O] long code blocks making Org Mode very slow
I'm trying to run a long Python code block (~4000 lines) in org mode. The code is sandwiched between: #+begin_src python python code block #+end_src It runs fine, but org mode becomes incredibly slow - when typing text there is about a 10 second delay before the character appears on the screen. If I reduce the number of lines of code in the block there is a noticeable increase in speed. I am not using line numbers, and the delay is not ameliorated by turning off fontification. If I add a semi-colon before #+begin_src, to comment it off (get rid of src environment), then org mode returns to it's normal speed. Do I just have to accept that long code blocks can't be entered into Org Mode? Any help would be appreciated. I am running Org Mode (version 8.2.10) on Windows 8. Thanks Angus M

Why is \\tolerance=1000 part of org-default-package-alist? Is this

But people who explicitly wants this behavior can probably add it
themselves.
If it's a means to archive high-quality paragraphs, maybe microtype is
probably the 'proper' fix...
My suggestion: forget about \tolerance. It’s low-level TeX stuff,
hardly anybody knows what it does, really (it is one of the dozen or two
parameters governing the line-breaking algorithm), and most people would
not see any difference anyway. I wouldn’t add microtype, OTOH. One
reason: it issues a lot of warnings when you use a font it does not
know. It doesn’t hurt, but some people don’t like warnings. Also, some
people might not really /want/ microtype – it messes around with font
widths, and even with the default settings (which are rather
conservative), it can look a bit strange.

It sounds like you're digesting quite a bit all at once, so you probably
don't want to install all of Gnorb. If you're interested in some of the
bits, I might be able to peel those off into separate functions:
specifically, taking files from the org-attach directory and attaching
them to outgoing emails being sent from an Org heading. I can't promise
I could do it cleanly, but I'd be happy to look into it.
If you could do that, that would be just super. Right now my lone mailing
function sends me to message-mode:
(defun mime-send-mail ()
org-mime-subtree and HTMLize
(interactive)
(org-mark-subtree)
(let ((subject (nth 4 (org-heading-components
(org-mime-subtree)
(insert \nBest,\nMP.\n)
(org-mime-htmlize)
(command-execute 'mml-attach-file)
(message-goto-to)
)
)
mml-attach-file asks a whole bunch of questions about mime type, etc. I don't
know how to fill those values in automatically, but I guess it would be, in
pseudo code
(dolist (thisfile org-attach-all-attachments) (mml-attach-file thisfile FILL
IN OTHER ARGUMENTS)
If you have something like that in gnorb that'd be awesome. Thanks once again,
I've extracted some code that ought to be useful.
(defun org-attachment-list (optional id)
Get a list of files (absolute filenames) attached to the
current heading, or the heading indicated by optional argument ID.
(when (featurep 'org-attach)
(let* ((attach-dir
(save-excursion
(when id
(org-id-goto id))
(org-attach-dir t)))
(files
(mapcar
(lambda (f)
(expand-file-name f attach-dir))
(org-attach-file-list attach-dir
files)))
(defun query-attach-files (files)
(map-y-or-n-p
(lambda (a) (format Attach %s to outgoing message?
(file-name-nondirectory a)))
(lambda (a)
(mml-attach-file a (mm-default-file-encoding a)
nil attachment))
files
'(file files attach)))
Then your entry point function could use those functions:
(defun mime-send-mail ()
org-mime-subtree and HTMLize
(interactive)
(org-mark-subtree)
(let ((subject (nth 4 (org-heading-components)))
(files (org-attachment-list)))
(org-mime-subtree)
(insert \nBest,\nMP.\n)
(org-mime-htmlize)
(query-attach-files files)
(message-goto-to)))
See how that works for now -- there will be plenty of adjustments you
might want to make.
One thing that occurred to me is, because `org-mime-subtree' uses the
export process, you can use property substitution in the body of the
subtree/email. So if you have a property like GRADE or something, you
can insert that into the body at export time using
{{{property(GRADE)}}}. You didn't really ask for that, but I'll bet it
might come in handy.

I would like to second microtype. In fact as far as I know, now a days

As I wrote a minute ago, I would rather not add microtype, though it's
a minor thing, really.
I would also suggest removing inputenc. At the moment, it is loaded
with the AUTO option. AFAIK, this is redundant since most recent
(meaning for quite a few years) TeX engines already use the encoding of
the file if nothing is specified.
Can you elaborate on that? AFAIK, XeTeX and LuaTeX use UTF-8 by
default, but pdfetex (which is the default LaTeX engine) does not. And
quite a lot of people ose pdfetex (me included;-)). I haven't heard
about any heuristic determination of encoding by TeX (and I hope nothing
like that happens, since it could be disastrous).
The next one would be fontenc, now it is loaded with T1. I'm not sure
if this is needed. Maybe LaTeX experts like Marcin or Fabrice could
comment.
Thanks for calling me an expert, though I'm not one regarding fonts and
their encodings;-).
With fontenc, the thing is tricky. I do not know much about other
languages, but you actually can't use LaTeX to typeset texts in Polish
without changing the default LaTeX's font encoding (which is OT1, and it
doesn't support some Polish letters). (Usually, I do not use fontenc
for that, since there is a specialized package for Polish typesetting.)
I guess that removing fontenc for non-English texts might lead to
erroneous results – at least in case of presence of certain Polish words
(e.g., some names in bibliographies). I guess we don’t want that.
OTOH, one thing we /might/ want to add is \usepackage{lmodern}. The
Latin Modern family of fonts is a drop-in replacement for the default
Computer Modern, but with all sorts of accented characters. Using this
font family has the advantage that accented characters are not build
from letters and accents, but are single glyphs in the font. AFAIR,
this makes words containing accented letters hyphenatable. Not a huge
gain, but sometimes may be important (especially in some languages, and
with narrow columns).
We could also take this opportunity to provide users an easy way to
switch between TeX engines.
I second that!
Best,

Re: [O] file or headline-local template for new subtree?

I'd love to have the new subtree automatically populated by a mostly-empty table on cration. Is this something I can do on a per-file basis; or perhaps even something I can change with every level 1 heading? I can think of a couple uses for this, actually. I'm fond of org-structure-template-alist, but it might not be powerful enough for what you want here. On a per file basis you could bind some letter in org-structure-template-alist. ATM it cannot guess how to insert a subtree. But there's org-insert-subheading. Something I do alot of is have Org Capture templates as files. This lets me write a more complex capture template (in my case for one of several “roles” that I take on ad-hoc but recurring basis during meetings). I call the template with an entry like the following in org-capture-templates. (Mg Grammarian entry (file+headline ~/Documents/OrgMaster/org/Toastmasters.org Miscellaneous and Non-Goal roles 2015) (file ~/.init/emacs/org-capture-templates/grammarian.org_template) :jump-to-captured t :immediate-finish t) In this specific case, it places the entry under a special pre-defined Org heading, but I could always call org-capture with a `C-0' (zero) prefix to insert a template at point. I can edit the template file as things change, and it can be pretty complex (some of my represent Projects: A header, several sub headers as tasks, etc.).
