11.4 MIME-part actions ¶

Finally, let’s define a MIME-part action.

The following example action counts the number of lines in an attachment, and defines n as its shortcut key (the n is prefixed to the description). See the mu4e-view-mime-part-actions for the details of the format.

(add-to-list 'mu4e-view-mime-part-actions
    ;; count the number of lines in a MIME-part
    '(:name "line-count" :handler "wc -l" :receives pipe))

Or another one, to import a calendar invitation into the venerable emacs diary:

(add-to-list 'mu4e-view-mime-part-actions
    ;; import into calendar;
    '(:name "dimport-in-diary" :handler (lambda(file) (icalendar-import-file file diary-file))
      :receives temp))
