;;; Commentary:
;; This file implements links to Apple Mail messages from within Org-mode.
;; Org-mode does not load this module by default - if you would actually like
;; this to happen then configure the variable `org-modules'.

;;; Code:

(require 'org)

(org-add-link-type "message" 'org-mac-message-open)

;; In mac.c, removed in Emacs 23.
(declare-function do-applescript "org-mac-message" (script))

	(setq start (+ 2 (match-beginning 0))
	      script (replace-match "\\'" t t script)))
      (setq cmd (concat "osascript -e '" script "'"))
