mu4e-config questions: Can't quite get org-msg compose or mu4e-account-register functions working with mu4e

Hello @jonathanwilner ,

Happy to hear that you've found my config useful!

For the +mu4e-register-account part, you need to call it in a (with-eval-after-load 'mu4e) block in your config. I can make it autoload but I prefer leaving it like this, so I force my self to use deferred configuration to make Emacs loads faster.

For the gnus-alias, I really have no idea! I didn't hear about this package before. I remember that I've tried in the past to do something similar, mu4e provides mu4e-compose-context-switch but it doesn't work with org-msg.

In my workflow, I have a hook to mu4e-compose-pre-hook (defined in me-mu4e-extras) that checks if several aliases exist (aliases are configured in a per-account basis in +mu4e-register-account) and propose completion to select which account to use. The current tweak doesn't use separate signatures for each alias, but it can easily be modified to do so.

Sorry if this didn't answer your question! I've taken a look on the gnus-alias package, but with mu4e being mu4e, I think it will take me a decade before figuring out how to make it work with gnus-alias!
