00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.219
I first of all want to address the feedback.

00:00:02.220 --> 00:00:06.099
You're absolutely right. I should have stuck to one theme.

00:00:06.100 --> 00:00:09.099
Unfortunately, I was using vanilla Emacs

00:00:09.100 --> 00:00:10.299
and not my own config.

00:00:10.300 --> 00:00:13.459
So to show that it can work, apologies for that.

00:00:13.460 --> 00:00:18.419
I will keep that in mind the next time I do such a demo.

00:00:18.420 --> 00:00:21.539
The first question, I mean, the feedback was considered

00:00:21.540 --> 00:00:23.819
using similar background dark only

00:00:23.820 --> 00:00:25.419
or light only throughout the help,

00:00:25.420 --> 00:00:29.859
throughout the help with iStream.

00:00:29.860 --> 00:00:31.819
The question, the first question is,

00:00:31.820 --> 00:00:35.419
should I know all my contact email address by heart

00:00:35.420 --> 00:00:38.499
or is some kind of contact list?

00:00:38.500 --> 00:00:42.019
Unfortunately, right now, this is just to get started.

00:00:42.020 --> 00:00:45.859
So it is, you have to know it by heart,

00:00:45.860 --> 00:00:47.619
but I take this as feedback.

00:00:47.620 --> 00:00:51.339
I will write this down for myself as a feature request.

00:00:51.340 --> 00:00:53.779
I will make sure that all contacts

00:00:53.780 --> 00:00:58.419
or some kind of tab support is present for email addresses.

00:00:58.420 --> 00:01:03.659
I do not use the org system for replying so much.

00:01:03.660 --> 00:01:06.259
I use it for knowing the context.

00:01:06.260 --> 00:01:12.019
So I don't really reply using the org mode itself to reply.

00:01:12.020 --> 00:01:16.019
So I did not focus on that feature. But this is doable.

00:01:16.020 --> 00:01:18.739
We can certainly add a tab support

00:01:18.740 --> 00:01:24.619
for any contacts that you may have, org contacts.

00:01:24.620 --> 00:01:28.059
Or I don't know if there's any other package that does that.

00:01:28.060 --> 00:01:29.699
So if it is, let me know.

00:01:29.700 --> 00:01:33.899
Org contacts is what comes to my mind.

00:01:33.900 --> 00:01:36.739
The second question is, what would it take

00:01:36.740 --> 00:01:40.139
to use the org pieces of this with?

00:01:40.140 --> 00:01:45.019
offline IMAP or other non Gmail mail setups.

00:01:45.020 --> 00:01:46.059
I use fast mail.

00:01:46.060 --> 00:01:52.779
Currently, I use only Gmail because that's my workflow

00:01:52.780 --> 00:01:58.019
and it works with a Gmail API.

00:01:58.020 --> 00:02:00.859
So which means the Python script that goes along with it

00:02:00.860 --> 00:02:05.179
only works with Gmail and no other system for now.

00:02:05.180 --> 00:02:06.939
This is the current package.

00:02:06.940 --> 00:02:09.459
However, yes, I will note this down.

00:02:09.460 --> 00:02:12.059
I don't know what it will take

00:02:12.060 --> 00:02:16.379
to include this offline IMAP setup

00:02:16.380 --> 00:02:18.499
or any other non-Gmail setup.

00:02:18.500 --> 00:02:23.139
Let me tinker with it and find out what it will involve.

00:02:23.140 --> 00:02:30.019
So give me some time, maybe I will get to it.

00:02:30.020 --> 00:02:43.739
Sorry, sorry. Oops. Okay. Okay. May I continue?

00:02:43.740 --> 00:02:46.739
Hi, Bella. Yes, please. Sorry for the confusion.

00:02:46.740 --> 00:02:53.179
Hi, Amin. All right. So the next one is,

00:02:53.180 --> 00:02:56.939
do you worry about sending some info to a wrong person

00:02:56.940 --> 00:02:58.899
due to some unseen technical issues,

00:02:58.900 --> 00:03:03.299
for example, due to memory overflow?

00:03:03.300 --> 00:03:05.739
Again, I have not been focusing

00:03:05.740 --> 00:03:07.139
on replying from within Emacs.

00:03:07.140 --> 00:03:09.659
so much, or using my package,

00:03:09.660 --> 00:03:13.019
I usually do it through the Gmail interface.

00:03:13.020 --> 00:03:18.299
I usually use this to get the context within the project,

00:03:18.300 --> 00:03:22.059
download all the emails, make sure that I have acted on emails

00:03:22.060 --> 00:03:23.859
which Gmail doesn't do so well.

00:03:23.860 --> 00:03:25.099
I don't know what the action is.

00:03:25.100 --> 00:03:28.499
I don't want to use Gmail as a to-do list.

00:03:28.500 --> 00:03:30.146
Org Mode is great at this.

00:03:30.147 --> 00:03:32.646
Any work I have to do, any reports I have to compile,

00:03:32.647 --> 00:03:39.099
all of that Org Mode does. I don't use it for replying

00:03:39.100 --> 00:03:43.459
or doing its actions around the email, which I focus on.

00:03:43.460 --> 00:03:45.859
But point taken, let me see

00:03:45.860 --> 00:03:47.779
if there is a like Gmail offers.

00:03:47.780 --> 00:03:52.219
you know, for 10 seconds or something you can still undo

00:03:52.220 --> 00:03:54.739
so that it doesn't go out of your email

00:03:54.740 --> 00:03:59.659
if you made a mistake or if there's a problem with your,

00:03:59.660 --> 00:04:04.619
you know, Gmail or email sending should sort of stop.

00:04:04.620 --> 00:04:07.019
Let me think about that.

00:04:07.020 --> 00:04:09.396
So, I've not paid attention to that,

00:04:09.397 --> 00:04:11.104
but I'll take your point.

00:04:11.105 --> 00:04:17.539
The next one, you should say what org-gmail is

00:04:17.540 --> 00:04:20.219
and not its goals and non-goals,

00:04:20.220 --> 00:04:22.019
which in this case is more helpful

00:04:22.020 --> 00:04:24.739
to help people get their head around this.

00:04:24.740 --> 00:04:26.379
You had some good ones in your slides,

00:04:26.380 --> 00:04:28.859
but not your GitHub page. Okay, great.

00:04:28.860 --> 00:04:30.579
Okay, so I will definitely take

00:04:30.580 --> 00:04:33.779
the information from the slides

00:04:33.780 --> 00:04:38.499
and give it to, I mean, put it back into my readme.

00:04:38.500 --> 00:04:40.179
It's been a while since I updated ReadMe,

00:04:40.180 --> 00:04:42.179
and you're absolutely right.

00:04:42.180 --> 00:04:45.779
It probably doesn't say why you need org email.

00:04:45.780 --> 00:04:49.059
So that would be definitely something that I can do.

00:04:49.060 --> 00:04:51.659
Wanting to add the goal is an easier way

00:04:51.660 --> 00:04:53.819
to add one-off email into org mode

00:04:53.820 --> 00:04:56.419
and org agenda workflows and first.

00:04:56.420 --> 00:04:57.779
Love seeing a different way

00:04:57.780 --> 00:04:59.539
of looking at and working with email.

00:04:59.540 --> 00:05:00.659
Thank you so much for that.

00:05:00.660 --> 00:05:05.619
Yes, that's the idea here is if we can integrate email

00:05:05.620 --> 00:05:08.339
and I think there is memacs, you know,

00:05:08.340 --> 00:05:11.579
that's one package that I love.

00:05:11.580 --> 00:05:17.099
It can integrate all of the other stuff into your org mode.

00:05:17.100 --> 00:05:21.539
That worked, but I like email and dealing with email.

00:05:21.540 --> 00:05:26.099
That is my single source of truth outside of org mode.

00:05:26.100 --> 00:05:28.819
So that's the only one I need for now.

00:05:28.820 --> 00:05:32.659
And I like seeing the action

00:05:32.660 --> 00:05:35.099
and the history on my org agenda.

00:05:35.100 --> 00:05:37.259
That's one of the reasons why I built this package.

00:05:37.260 --> 00:05:43.699
And I hope that answers that.

00:05:43.700 --> 00:05:49.459
There is one more saying, how does it handle attachments?

00:05:49.460 --> 00:05:52.819
If it doesn't, do you have a plan to add this feature?

00:05:52.820 --> 00:05:55.859
Attachments is a bit tricky for me right now

00:05:55.860 --> 00:05:58.619
because I don't understand org-attach so well.

00:05:58.620 --> 00:06:01.299
I don't use org-attach, but you're absolutely right.

00:06:01.300 --> 00:06:05.339
It does make sense to have org-attach also.

00:06:05.340 --> 00:06:08.259
And it's definitely in my plan to include org-attach.

00:06:08.260 --> 00:06:12.459
I don't think I talked about it in my talk,

00:06:12.460 --> 00:06:14.739
but I definitely have that idea.

00:06:14.740 --> 00:06:17.339
First I have to wrap myself, my head

00:06:17.340 --> 00:06:21.339
around the idea of org-attach and how it,

00:06:21.340 --> 00:06:26.059
because I don't like, what I don't like about org-attach,

00:06:26.060 --> 00:06:28.899
I'll tell you, is default is,

00:06:28.900 --> 00:06:31.699
it opens a new folder called data

00:06:31.700 --> 00:06:34.379
and there are, it uses a unique code

00:06:34.380 --> 00:06:37.859
and there are subfolders in it, which I do not appreciate

00:06:37.860 --> 00:06:43.659
because I want all those files also to be within the same context.

00:06:43.660 --> 00:06:45.779
of my project or area.

00:06:45.780 --> 00:06:50.859
And that's one of the reasons I, and I'm sure you can customize that.

00:06:50.860 --> 00:06:52.099
There are ways to do that,

00:06:52.100 --> 00:06:55.379
but I have to pay more attention to this.

00:06:55.380 --> 00:06:58.729
Right now, all of the attachments are dealt with in Gmail,

00:06:58.730 --> 00:07:01.219
which is not a good system to handle that

00:07:01.220 --> 00:07:03.579
because it's so out of context.

00:07:03.580 --> 00:07:06.379
And there are like 25 contexts in the same inbox,

00:07:06.380 --> 00:07:08.419
which I do not appreciate.

00:07:08.420 --> 00:07:11.059
So even the attachments are like that.

00:07:11.060 --> 00:07:13.539
But Org Mode has a much better way of handling it,

00:07:13.540 --> 00:07:16.099
or Emacs has a much better way of handling it.

00:07:16.100 --> 00:07:20.339
I will definitely put my attention

00:07:20.340 --> 00:07:22.219
to this and get this feature out.

00:07:22.220 --> 00:07:25.299
This is all customer feedback for me, so to speak.

00:07:25.300 --> 00:07:30.179
So I would definitely request all of you to try it out.

00:07:30.180 --> 00:07:32.179
And tell me, you know, good

00:07:32.180 --> 00:07:34.939
or bad things about the package.

00:07:34.940 --> 00:07:38.619
And you've been very candid so far. Please be so.

00:07:38.620 --> 00:07:43.539
So, you know, so be it that be candid with your feedback

00:07:43.540 --> 00:07:46.699
and I will get to know how to go with this.

00:07:46.700 --> 00:07:49.699
With so much, I mean, I'm not an expert in Elisp,

00:07:49.700 --> 00:07:57.019
but I have a workaround, which is I have generative AI support,

00:07:57.020 --> 00:07:58.339
which has done well with me.

00:07:58.340 --> 00:08:03.659
I test the software better, so I can use the generative AI

00:08:03.660 --> 00:08:05.139
to help me with the coding,

00:08:05.140 --> 00:08:08.539
but I can test it so that it works for me.

00:08:08.540 --> 00:08:10.739
And I would request your help

00:08:10.740 --> 00:08:13.259
also in testing this software.

00:08:13.260 --> 00:08:16.179
So for sure. Thank you so much for your question.

00:08:16.180 --> 00:08:21.271
If there are any more, I can definitely answer them.
