   1 * Gnorb
   2
   3 Glue code between the Gnus, Org, and BBDB packages for Emacs.
   4
   5 This package connects Emacs-based email, project management, and
   6 contact management a little more closely together. The goal is to
   7 reduce friction when manipulating TODOs, contacts, messages, and
   8 files.
   9
  10 Probably the most interesting thing Gnorb does is tracking
  11 correspondences between Gnus email messages and Org headings. Rather
  12 than "turning your inbox into a TODO list", as some software puts it,
  13 Gnorb (kind of) does the opposite: turning your TODO headings into
  14 mini mailboxes.
  15
  16 *Note for previous users*: If you were using Gnorb from Github before
  17 it shifted to the Elpa repository, the email tracking mechanism has
  18 changed, please see the manual for details.

  20 ** Installation
  21
  22 It's easiest to install Gnorb from Elpa: run `list-packages' and look
  23 for it there.
  24
  25 Or clone the Git repo at https://github.com/girzel/gnorb, and add the
  26 top-level directory to your load path.
  27
  28 If you want to use Gnorb for tracking emails with TODOs, you'll need
  29 to add a nngnorb server to your `gnus-secondary-select-methods'
  30 variable, then call `gnorb-tracking-initialize' in your init files.
  31 Again, see the manual for details.
