24 ;;; Commentary:
25 ;; This file implements links to Apple Mail messages from within Org-mode.
26 ;; Org-mode does not load this module by default - if you would actually like
27 ;; this to happen then configure the variable `org-modules'.
29 ;;; Code:
31 (require 'org)
33 (org-add-link-type "message" 'org-mac-message-open)
35 ;; In mac.c, removed in Emacs 23.
