notmuch/test/corpora/README

This directory contains email corpora for testing.

default
  The default corpus is based on about 50 messages from early in the
  history of the notmuch mailing list, which allows for reliably
  testing commands that need to operate on a not-totally-trivial
  number of messages.

broken
  The broken corpus contains messages that are broken and/or RFC
  non-compliant, ensuring we deal with them in a sane way.
test: add known broken test for reply to message with multiple Cc headers As Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net> reports in id:87d1ngv95p.fsf@alice.fifthhorseman.net, notmuch show combines multiple Cc: fields into one, while notmuch reply does not. While such messages are in violation of RFC 5322, it would be reasonable to expect notmuch to be consistent. Add a known broken test to document this expectation. This also starts a new "broken" corpus for messages which are broken. Details: The original message is formatted using the message printing in notmuch-show.c. For Cc:, it uses g_mime_message_get_recipients(), which apparently combines all Cc: fields into one internally. The addresses in the reply headers, OTOH, are based on headers queried through libnotmuch. It boils down to g_mime_object_get_header() in lib/message-file.c, which returns only the first occurence of header. 2016-09-13 19:14:09 +02:00			`This directory contains email corpora for testing.`
