Link to MH-E message that has been refiled

[Paisa Seeluangsawat]

Hi,

I would like some tips on using org-mode's links to MH-E messages.
Here is what I currently do:

1) As I read new emails, I use org-remember to make a new org entry.  It
   automatically creates a link to the email message:
   mhe:+inbox#[message_id]@[host]

2) I refile the email message to a folder (e.g. "family").  Keep my
   inbox clean :-).

3) Problem: the link in my org entry is now broken.  It still
   (understandably) points to "inbox", while the message is now in
   "family".

Is there a convenient way to get around this problem?

Hi,

there are two possibilities:

a) use namazu, mairix or another search engine which is supported by
   MH-E and customize mh-searcher to use that engine

b) customize org-mhe-search-all-folders

and there's a bug with org-mhe-get-message-folder-from-index returning
"nil" instead of nil

fixed with the patch below
