-Hi,
-
-I am trying to make abook work better (for me) within vim. I am doing
-this because I have 'autoedit' and 'edit_headers' set in mutt. This
-means I would like to have easy access to my abook addressbook (from
-within the editor).
-
-To accomplish this I have written a vim plugin (it will need vim 6.0)
-and have patched abook. Both are included. The patch is against abook
-0.4.13.
-
-Amongst other things, they allow me to obtain an address listing from
-abook and perform a mutt query using abook. Below is an example.
-
-Suppose I have the following line (the cursor is at the caret):
- To:
- ^
-I can now hit '\al' to lauch abook. Once inside, I can highlight the
-people I want to email. Then I hit 'P'. Their email addresses now
-appear. Next, suppose I have:
- To: john
- ^
-My plugin allows the command '\aq' to perform an alias mutt query using
-abook. It uses the word under the cursor, so "john" will be looked up
-inside of abook. Next, his email address will appear.
-
-Summary:
- \aq => alias query
- \al => alias list
-
-Note:
- - \ is actually LocalLeader
- - I am aware that abook can do these things from within *mutt*, but
- I want to do them from within vim.
- - This plugin does other stuff, as well (like deleting signatures,
- and positioning the cursor when you start) because I stole code
- from Cedric Duval's mail vimrc.
- - Improvements / comments are welcome.
-
-Todo:
- - Documentation :)
- - I tried to write this so that another alias query program could be
- used (e.g. ldap), but I have not implemented this.
-
-Bugs:
- - I had trouble getting this to work in gvim. I used vim in a
- console.
-
-Basic Installation:
- - patch and install abook
- - place the mail.vim plugin in ~/.vim/after/ftplugin
