This is in notmuch-show mode rather than in notmuch-search mode,
(where we had + and - working already). This gives the same visual
feedback as in notmuch-search-mode, (the tags are manipulated first in
the database and then the list of tags in the buffer is updated).
Also hide all markers.
From here, all we really need for legibility is the following:
* Hide away citations and signatures
* Call out the one-line summary some way, (larger font size?)
* Add nesting for replies
We were previously using things like "%message{" which were not
guaranteed to never appear in an email message. Using a control
character (^L or '\f' instead of '%') gives us better assurance that
our delimiter doesn't show up in an original email message.
This still isn't entirely safe since we're decoding encoded text in
the body of the email message so almost all bets are off really.
Almost starting to get usable now. Still need to make it mark messages
as they are read, (by removing the unread tag), and selectively hiding
the full header.
These have keybindings of '+', '-', and 'a'. The bug they have so
far is lack of visual feedback for their effect, and lack of undo.
(Also the fact that adding or removing a single tag for a thread
takes way too long--but that's as a Xapian issue as discussed here:
replace_document should make minimal changes to database file
http://trac.xapian.org/ticket/250
)
We now get the point staying right at the top where we want it.
We also don't get any extraneous noise about "Process notmuch
completed" or anything like that. Just the output in a read-only
buffer.
Compilation mode does a bunch of things that we don't want. Instead
of trying to tear it down to what we want, let's start at the other
end and build up only things that we really want.
I'm using that file as my reference here, so I'm likely to end up
copying some code here or there. Might as well be safe and just
copy the copyright statement.
