'quite' on IRC reported that notmuch new was grinding to a halt during
initial indexing, and we eventually narrowed the problem down to some
html parts with large embedded images. These cause the number of terms
added to the Xapian database to explode (the first 400 messages
generated 4.6M unique terms), and of course the resulting terms are
not much use for searching.
The second test is sanity check for any "improved" indexing of HTML.
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.
