Open org-mode link to mu4e message in new frame

[Josiah Schwab]

Hello,

How can one instruct mu4e to open a link to message from an org-mode
file in a new frame?

When I follow a [mu4e:msgid:xxxx] link with C-c C-o, I would like the
message to open in a new frame. I am looking for behavior similar to
when I compose a new message with mu4e-compose-in-new-frame set to t.

Other mail clients such as GNUS or wl appear to provide options that one
can configure via customizing org-link-frame-setup, but I didn't see
anything there applicable to mu4e.

Thanks,
Josiah

Hi Josiah,

You could probably get it to work by advising
`mu4e-view-message-with-message-id`. If that works, perhaps some kind
can turn it into a built-in function for mu4e.

Kind regards,
Dirk.

(defun kdm/mu4e-link-in-new-frame (MSGID) (select-frame (make-frame)))

(advice-add 'mu4e-view-message-with-message-id :before 'kdm/mu4e-link-in-new-frame)

-k.
