handle forwarded messages

[jeremy-compostella]

When I want to forward, I just reply and change the recipient list.
Would that work for your mu4e based use-case ?

Yes, I think that would work, though in the long run it would be nice to have something more robust, I guess.

My solution - rewrite org-msg-post-setup so that it includes the reply-to, and make sure the reply-to appears in the message even when forwarding - by changing mu4e~draft-forward-construct accordingly in mu4e-draft.el (though adding advice would have been a better solution)

(defun org-msg-post-setup (&rest _args)
  "Transform the current `message' buffer into a OrgMsg buffer.
If the current `message' buffer is a reply, the
`org-msg-separator' string is inserted at the end of the editing
area."
  (message-goto-body)
  (let ((new (not (and (message-fetch-field "to")
                       (message-fetch-field "subject"))))
        (with-original (not (= (point) (point-max))))
        (reply-to))
    (when (or new (org-msg-mua-call 'article-htmlp))
      (setq reply-to (org-msg-mua-call 'save-article-for-reply))
      (insert (org-msg-header reply-to))
      (when org-msg-greeting-fmt
        (insert (format org-msg-greeting-fmt
                        (if new
                            ""
                          (org-msg-get-to-first-name)))))
      (save-excursion
        (when with-original
          (save-excursion
            (insert "\n\n" org-msg-separator "\n")
            (delete-region (line-beginning-position)
                           (1+ (line-end-position)))
            (save-excursion
              (while (re-search-forward "^>+ *" nil t)
                (replace-match "")))
            (org-escape-code-in-region (point) (point-max))))
        (when org-msg-signature
          (insert org-msg-signature))
        (org-msg-edit-mode)))
    (if new
        (message-goto-to)
      (org-msg-goto-body))))

Hi Michael-David,

I tried to take your suggestion of org-msg-post-setup() into account with Add limited support for mail forwarding. Let me know if it helps in your case.
