This should be be slightly faster since it avoids forking a shell
and is less code in and less dependencies for the script.
Since String::ShellQuote isn't used elsewhere, drop mention of it.
Spaces need to be stripped when querying the Message-Id,
because notmuch stores them in Xapian with spaces stripped.
All double-quote characters need to be doubled to escape them,
otherwise they will be added as extra query terms outside the id.
The shell pipeline used to symlink files based in search results
to "cache" directory for mutt(1) to use was prone to portability
problems (due to /bin/sh differences).
The replacement executes `notmuch search` without intermediate shell
(so shell_quote was removed in this case), reads the filenames from
piped output and symlinks files internally.
The -D flag to install (used in the Makefile) is GNU-specific and does
not work on BSD distributions (i.e. macOS). Likewise with the xargs -r
flag. These changes use portable alternatives to these flags while
preserving the exact behavior.
The main goal here is to be able to install the notmuch-mutt script
with an absolute shebang. I have tried to make the notmuch-mutt
Makefile use configure information from notmuch if available, but make
suitable guesses if not.
A leading / in paths in a .gitignore file matches the beginning of the
path, meaning that for patterns without slashes, git will match files
only in the current directory as opposed to in any subdirectory.
Prefix relevant paths with / in .gitignore files, to prevent
accidentally ignoring files in subdirectories and possibly slightly
improve the performance of "git status".
Many of the external links found in the notmuch source can be resolved
using https instead of http. This changeset addresses as many as i
could find, without touching the e-mail corpus or expected outputs
found in tests.
Note: this patch drops -w from the shebang line, but we still have
"use warnings" in the script, which is superior anyhow.
Thanks Andreas Tolfsen for the suggestion.

For those messages, compute a synthetic Message-ID based on the SHA1
of the whole message, in the same way that notmuch would do. See:
http://git.notmuchmail.org/git/notmuch/blob/HEAD:/lib/sha1.c
To do the above, rewrite get_message_id() to accumulate header lines,
parse them to check for Message-ID, and fallback to SHA1 computation
if it is not present.
Thanks to:
- Jan N. Klug for preliminary versions of this patch
- Tomi Ollila for suggesting an elegant implementation
This patch fixes three issues with "notmuch-mutt tag":
1. The message_id was not shell quoted.
Thanks to Jason Miller for the bug report and patch.
2. The tags passed into tag_action() were not being properly quoted.
The "join before shell_quote" was combining multiple tags into a
single argument to notmuch tag: '+one -two -three' instead of
'+one' '-two' '-three'.
3. A "--" was added between the tags and search-term as shown in the
current notmuch-tag man page.
Thanks to Tomi Ollila for suggesting the simple fix of using
the list form of system(), which bypasses the shell.
Change notmuch-mutt to use the new --duplicate=1 flag for duplicate
removal. This will remove duplicates based on message-id at the
notmuch level. Previously we were using fdupes or generating sha sums
after the search.
This version will be faster, but will enable the possibility of hiding
search results due to accidental/malicious duplicate message-ids.
Details:
- $pipe_decode is turned off, to prevent message-id from being
filtered out by "ignore" settings in the muttrc.
- Original values for $pipe_decode and $wait_key are saved and restored.
- The macros, being much longer now, are line wrapped for improved
readability.

Neat, thanks Kevin for debugging the issue down to $pipe_decode (which
I've never used, mutt never stops to amaze me :-)).

Right, but still a more graceful failure model would be nice.
Please find attached a patch that in such cases should 1) give a
supposedly nice error message explaining what's going on and 2) empty
the results dir to avoid showing you unrelated results. It works for me.
But extra checking never hurts, in particular for the tag action, which
I don't personally use.
I guess it would also be nice to actually disable $pipe_decode in the
relevant Mutt macros, but I'm not sure about to do that without
interfering with user desired configuration. Kevin: do you know if there
is a common Mutt trick to store the value of a variable before changing
it, and restoring it a posteriori? More isolation for this kind of
things in Mutt would definitely be welcome...
Cheers.

Subject: [PATCH] notmuch-mutt: more graceful handling of missing Message-Id
errors
in particular:
- the "thread" action would print an error and empty results dir
- the "tag action would print an error
Add a --remove-dups flag which removes duplicate files from search and
thread results. Uses fdupes if installed. Otherwise it runs a size and
Digest::SHA scan on each file to detect duplicates.

When asked for interactive help, lookup notmuch-search-terms(7)
instead of notmuch(1). Syntax of notmuch queries used to be described
in the latter, but has recently been moved to the former.
Closes: #675073 (in the Debian BTS)
