How to capture an open message in Org-mode

[Marcin Borkowski]

Hi there,

I thought I was smart, and I did this:
http://mbork.pl/2017-09-11_My_email_capturing_workflow
Basically, I can press one keychord when in headers view to flag the
email and capture it as an Org-mode todo item.

However, I noticed this doesn't work when I'm in message view mode. The
message gets flagged, but the capture doesn't ask me for a description,
but is just filed away with no description immediately. Also, one weird
thing is that it moves me into the headers view, but when I press `-',
not only is the current (now flagged) message marked for unflagging, but
also the message view /with the next message/ appears.

What happens? How can I avoid this and make
`make-this-message-into-an-org-todo-item' work in message view mode,
too?

TIA,

Hi all,

I'm not sure why exactly this works, but I solved it. Here's the code:

Congrats. :)

Where else did you saw this sincronicity issue?
