c no longer works to copy email address

[jouke hijlkema]

Dear all,

I noticed (not a functionality I use a lot) that hitting c over an email address no longer copies it. Is this a new feature, a bug or something I f***ed up in my config ?

my mu4e-mu-version = 1.8.5

IIRC, that command was for the old view, it's not implemented in the
gnus-based view, which has been the default since 1.6. Should be easy to
add though, using

(thing-at-point 'email)

Kind regards,
Dirk.

Jouke, if you get this working, please let me/the list know; this would be a helpful feature to have!

THanks,

Matt

It shouldn't be too hard:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun copy-email-address-at-point ()
"If there is one, copy the e-mail address at point to the kill-ring."
(interactive)
(when-let ((addr (thing-at-point 'email)))
(kill-new addr)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thank you Dirk. This works nicely.

(kill-new (string-trim (thing-at-point 'email) "<" ">"))
