# Readme ## What is this plugin ? This plugin is a small helper for writing mail from vim, I designed it using mutt but it should work with other clients. I recommend to use it in combination with [CheckAttach](https://github.com/chrisbra/CheckAttach). ## Features This plugin provides the following features ### Contact completion The contact completion is designed for [pycarddav](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyCardDAV), however it is possible to use any external tools, see [address book configuration](#address-book-configuration). To search your address book from vim: +   While writing a mail, in insert mode, type:         <LocalLeader>a     or (using omnifunc)         <C-X><C-O> +   While editing any other file:     As the previous mapping are only set for mail files, you need to set the     completefunc (using omnifunc would be a bad idea):         set completefunc=vimmail#completion#CompleteAddr     Then use `<C-X><C-U>` (in insert mode) to trigger contact completion. It will search for the word under the cursor in your contact list. If you are currently in a From,To,CC or Bcc line, only mail addresses will be proposed, else all the match will appear. More details will appear in the preview window including contact name, type of the entry (mail, cell, phone etc.). To synchronise your address book, in a mail, in normal mode, type:     <LocalLeader>a ### Redaction ####   Cursor initial position By default vim-mail place your cursor at the beginning of the mail (right after the headers) adds a blank line and switch to insert mode. This behavior can be modified through a series of flags: The available flags are: Flag | Meaning -----|---------------------------------------------------------------------- `i`  | insert mode `o`  | Add new line after cursor `O`  | Add new line before cursor `A`  | Place cursor at the end of the line `W`  | Start on second word (a.k.a first address of field / word of subject) `t`  | top (Right after headers) `b`  | Bottom (After last message) `F`  | From field `T`  | To field `C`  | Cc field `B`  | Bcc field `S`  | Subject field ##### Examples Adding the following line to your vimrc will make you start at the end of the subject line:     let g:VimMailStartFlags="SAi" Or if you want to start at the end of the mail:     let g:VimMailStartFlags="boi" #### Easy spelllang switch While writing mails, I often need to do switch the spell lang which can be annoying, so this plugin provide an easy way to do it. Just type:     <LocalLeader>l and the plugin will switch the spelllang using a list of allowed languages.   If the current spellang is the last allowed, it will disable spell, hit     <LocalLeader>l once more and you will restart with the first lang. You can set the list of allowed langs in your vimrc:     let g:VimSpellLangs=['fr', 'en', 'sp'] The default langs are french, english. This will work for any filetype as it can be usefull for many other kind of files. #### Messages folds A folding method which allows you to open are close the messages of the conversation is provided. ### Quick in-mail navigation With this plugin, you can easily navigate through the different par of the mail using the following mappings: +   Headers     Mapping          | Effect     -----------------|--------------------------     `<LocalLeader>f` | Go to the From field     `<LocalLeader>b` | Go to the Bcc field     `<LocalLeader>c` | Go to the Cc field     `<LocalLeader>s` | Go to the SUbject field     `<LocalLeader>R` | Go to the Reply-To field     `<LocalLeader>t` | Go to the Reply-To field +   Conversation     Mapping          | Effect     -----------------|----------------------------------------------     `<LocalLeader>B` | Go to the first line (after headers)     `<LocalLeader>E` | Go to the first line after the conversation     `<LocalLeader>r` | Go to the first message of the conversation     `<LocalLeader>r2`| Go to the second message of the conversation     `<LocalLeader>r3`| Go to the third message of the conversation     `<LocalLeader>r4`| Go to the fourth message of the conversation     `<LocalLeader>S` | Go to your signature ### Launch mail client One of Mutt main drawbacks is that you can't access your mailbox while writing mails, good news everyone, with vim-mail you can open mutt in RO mode easily by typing     <LocalLeader>M ### Send file from Vim When you are vimming at one point, you might want to send the file you are working on. Leaving vim to send a mail from vim is so annoying, happily there is the solution just type: `<LocalLeader>m` and VimMail will pipe the file to mutt. ## Mappings All mappings can be disabled by adding the following line to your vimrc:     let g:VimMailDoNotMap=1 +   On any file     Mapping          | Effect     -----------------|----------------------------------------------     `<LocalLeader>m` | Send the current buffer     `<LocalLeader>l` | Switch spelllang     `<LocalLeader>M` | Open the mail client +   On mail only     Mapping          | Effect     -----------------|----------------------------------------------     `<Localleader>a` | Search the word before cursor as a contact     `<LocalLeader>f` | Go to the From field     `<LocalLeader>b` | Go to the Bcc field     `<LocalLeader>c` | Go to the Cc field     `<LocalLeader>s` | Go to the SUbject field     `<LocalLeader>R` | Go to the Reply-To field     `<LocalLeader>t` | Go to the Reply-To field     `<LocalLeader>r` | Go to the first message of the conversation     `<LocalLeader>r2`| Go to the second message of the conversation     `<LocalLeader>r3`| Go to the third message of the conversation     `<LocalLeader>r4`| Go to the fourth message of the conversation     `<LocalLeader>S` | Go to your signature ## CONFIGURATION ### Address book configuration It is possible to use another address book than pycard by setting the following variables:     let g:VimMailContactSyncCmd="my_synchronisation_cmd"     let g:VimMailContactQueryCmd="my_query_cmd" The only restriction is that the query command should give an output similar to pc_query output, aka something like:     Name: Someone     Tel (CELL): 000000000     EMAIL : someone@foo.bar     Name: Someone else     TEL: 0000000     EMAIL (Work): Someone.else@work.com     EMAIL (Perso): Someone.else@dummyprovider.com The fields between parentheses are optional. If you don't see the preview while using contact completion, add the following to your vimrc (see |completeopt| |preview| ):     set completeopt=preview If you don't want this completion you can either not use the plugin or add the following line to your vimrc:     let g:VimMailDontUseComplete=1 By default, the contact completion appends the query to the result list, you can disable this feature:     let g:VimMailDoNotAppendQueryToResults ### Spell Setting the list of possible spell langs:     let g:VimSpellLangs=['fr', 'en', 'sp'] ### Folds To disable message folds, add the following line to your vimrc:     let g:VimMailDoNotFold=1 ### Mail Client You can set the mail client command to your launcher script by adding to your vimrc something like:     let g:VimMailClient="/path/to/your/launcher" If you are not using mutt, or want to customize the send mail command, just add something like that to your vimrc (this is the default command):     let g:VimMailSendCmd=":! mutt -a %" ## License This plugin is distributed under GPL Licence v3.0, see https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt More infos at https://github.com/dbeniamine/vim-mail
