Till now Emacs UI indents messages according to their respecive
depth of neting in the thread. The actual width of indentation
per level is hardcoded to `1' space.
This patch makes message indentation customisable by introducing
a variable `notmuch-indent-messages-width' which defaults to `1',
which is the same as before. Felix could set this variable to
`0' in order to disable indentation, I tested it with a value of
`4' for a clearer separation of messages in a thread.
There's no reason to record undo information for read-only,
programmatically-constructed buffers. The undo list just chews up
memory keeping track of our calls to insert.
This patch breaks out much of the functionality of
notmuch-show-advance-and-archive into a new function:
notmuch-show-advance. This new function does all the advancing
through a show buffer that notmuch-show-advance-and-archive did,
without all the invasive thread archiving. The return value of
notmuch-show-advance is nil if the bottom of the thread is not
reached, and t if it is.
notmuch-show-advance-and-archive is modified to just call
notmuch-show-advance, and then call notmuch-show-archive-thread if the
return value is true. In this way the previous functionality of
notmuch-show-advance-and-archive is preserved.
This provides a way for people to rebind the space bar to a more sane
function if they don't like the default behavior.
The main reason to introduce this new unexposed function is to allow
the buffer redisplay crypto switch to behaving in a more expected way.
The prefix to notmuch-show-redisplay buffer now switches the crypto
processing of the current show buffer, as opposed to switching the
logic of the notmuch-crypto-process-mime customization variable. This
behavior is more intuitive.
Add function `notmuch-show-stash-message-id-stripped'
which stashes a Message-ID after ripping off the prefix and quotes,
add bind it to "I" key in `notmuch-show-stash-map'.
Simplifying `notmuch-show-get-message-id' instead might seem better,
but that would require concat'ing in 9 places instead of 1.

Use `previous-single-char-property-change' instead of going
through each character by hand and testing it's visibility. This
fixes `notmuch-show-advance-and-archive' to work for the last
message in thread with hidden signature.
This function, like the equivalent for notmuch-search, just refreshes
the current show view. Like in notmuch-search, this new function is
bound to "=". If a prefix is given then the redisplay happens with the
crypto-switch set, which displays the thread with the opposite logic
of whatever is set in the notmuch-crypto-process-mime customization
variable.
The insert-part-message/rfc822 function is overhauled to properly
processes the new formatting of message/rfc822 parts. The json output
for message parts now includes "headers" and "body" fields, which are
now parsed and output appropriately.
The feature to show subject changes in the collapsed thread view was
originally added (8ab433607) with an option
(notmuch-show-always-show-subject) to display the subject
for all messages, even when there was no change.
The subsequent commit (4f04d273) changed the sense of the test (or to
and) and the name of the controlling variable
(notmuch-show-elide-same-subject).
But this commit is broken in a few ways:
1. The original definition of notmuch-show-always-show-subject was
left around
But the variable isn't actually used in the code at all, so it
just adds clutter and confusion to the customization interface.
2. The name and description of the controlling variable doesn't
match the implementation
The name suggests that setting the variable to t will cause
repeated subjects to be elided, (suggesting that when it is nil
all subjects will be shown).
However, when the variable is nil, no subjects are shown. So a
correct name for the variable in this sense would be
notmuch-show-subject-changes.
Showing subject changes is a useful feature, and should be on by
default. (We don't want to bury generally useful features behind
customizations that users have to find).
Rather than fixing the name of the variable and changing its default
value, here we remove the condition entirely, such that the feature is
enabled unconditionally.
So both the currently-used variable and the stale definition of the
formerly-used are removed.
Also, the one relevant test-suite result is updated, (showing the
intial subject of a collapsed thread, and no subject display for later
messages that do not change the subject).

This is patch is a temporary work-around for a slight regression that
popped up in the part handling reorganization. Currently, text/plain
parts are always preferred, if present, over other non-text/plain
parts in multipart/alternative. However, this means that if there is
a blank text/plain part, no content will be displayed.
One way to get around this is to set the
"notmuch-show-all-multipart/alternative-parts" customization variable
to True ('t'), which will cause all parts to always be displayed.
Since we want to move forward with the next release, we're going to
set this variable true by default, to make sure that no content is
unretrievably hidden from the user. Once we come up with a better
solution for easy display of hidden parts we can set this back to a
default value of 'nil'.
Before the change, headers and message visibility functions took
extra care to correctly set `buffer-invisibility-spec'. This was
needed because headers overlay `invisible' property had only
headers' invisibility spec. So visibility of headers was
determined only by the headers invisibility spec. The patch sets
headers overlay `invisible' property a list with both the headers
and the message invisibility spec. This makes headers invisible
if either of them is added to the `buffer-invisibility-spec' and
allows to simplify the code.
Before the patch, message, headers and hidden citation overlays
had zero priority. All these overlay have `invisible' property.
Emacs documentation says that we should not make assumptions
about which overlay will prevail when they have the same priority
[1]. It happens to work as we need, but we should not rely on
undocumented behavior.

Before the change, the `notmuch-show-insert-text/plain-hook' was
given only the `depth' argument. The patch adds another one -
the message. Currently, the new message argument is not used by
any on the hooks. But it will be used later to get access to
message invisibility specs when wash buttons are inserted.
Mail-header-parse-address may fail for an invalid address.
Before the change, this would result in empty notmuch-show buffer
with an error message like: Scan error: "Unbalanced parentheses".
The patch wraps the function in condition-case and returns
unchanged address in case of error.
Write-region handles some file names specially, see Emacs Lisp
manual section 25.11 Making Certain File Names "Magic" [1]. This
is a nice feature for normal text editing, but it is not
desirable if we need to save raw file content (e.g. attachment).
In particular, this affects archives and may result in corrupted
attachments saved with notmuch-show-save-part (attachment button
click handler).
Turns out, smart GNUS folks encountered the same problem and
implemented write-region wrapper which inhibits some file name
handlers. In particular, this wrapper is used in mm-save-part,
which is why notmuch-save-attachments that uses it works fine
with archives.
The patch replaces write-region with mm-write-region in
notmuch-show-save-part. Also it removes coding-system-for-write
and require-final-newline setting in notmuch-show-save-part. The
former is set in mm-write-region. The latter seems to be
unneeded because mm-save-part does not use it.

This is the best way to make the displayed output for
decrypted/verified messages clearer. The special sigstatus and
encstatus buttons are now displayed under the part header button. The
part header button is also tweaked to provide information to user
about how to proces crypto.
We probably shouldn't have been doing this anyway, but we do it here
specifically because we don't want the content of the
application/pgp-encrypted parts to be displayed and cluttering the
message show.
A new emacs configuration variable "notmuch-crypto-process-mime"
controls the processing of PGP/MIME signatures and encrypted parts.
When this is set true, notmuch-query will use the notmuch show
--decrypt flag to decrypt encrypted messages and/or calculate the
sigstatus of signed messages. If sigstatus is available, notmuch-show
will place a specially color-coded header at the begining of the
signed message.
Also included is the ability to switch decryption/verification on/off
on the fly, which is bound to M-RET in notmuch-search-mode.
This patch adds hooks that are run before/after messages are tagged
From the emacs interface. In order to implement this and to avoid
having hooks parse all the arguments to the notmuch binary again, I
created a `notmuch-tag' function that other modules should use instead
of running (notmuch-call-notmuch-process "tag" ...) directly.
The command-line interface for extracting a single part from a message
recently changed from:

Previously, notmuch show flattened all output, losing information
about the nesting of the MIME hierarchy. Now, the output is properly
nested, (both in the --format=text and --format=json output), so that
clients can analyze the original MIME structure.
Internally, this required splitting the final closing delimiter out of
the various show_part functions and putting it into a new
show_part_end function instead. Also, the show_part function now
accepts a new "first" argument that is set not only for the first MIME
part of a message, but also for each first MIME part within a series
of multipart parts. This "first" argument controls the omission of a
preceding comma when printing a part (for json).
Many thanks to David Edmondson <dme@dme.org> for originally
identifying the lack of nesting in the json output and submitting an
early implementation of this feature. Thanks as well to Jameson Graef
Rollins <jrollins@finestructure.net> for carefully shepherding David's
patches through a remarkably long review process, patiently explaining
them, and providing a cleaned up series that led to this final
implementation. Jameson also provided the new emacs code here.
Previously, the user didn't know whether the pipe command succeeded or
not. It was only possible to find it out by manually inspecting
the work done (or not done) by the command or by manually switching to
*notmuch-pipe* buffer and determine it from command output. For this
the user had to first find the text corresponding to the last run of
pipe command as the buffer accumulated the output from all pipe commands.
This patch changes the following. The *notmuch-pipe* buffer is erased
before every pipe command so it contains only the output from the last
command. Additionally, when the command failed, the *notmuch-pipe* buffer
is shown and an error message is displayed.
with the output of pipe command.
Explained-by: Carl Worth: This gives convenient keybindings for
navigating the file and for quitting from the buffer, (since, with a
raw message file the user will generally want to just view the
message, not edit it).
Here we move the notmuch-show/notmuch-show-do-stash function to
notmuch-lib/notmuch-common-do-stash. Nothing in this function is
notmuch-show mode specific, so this move will make it cleaner to be
used by other modes (such as notmuch-search).
Remove 're: ' or 'Re: ' from anywhere within a subject line rather
than just at the beginning. This is to accommodate threads where a
mailing list sometimes inserts a subject prefix.
For example, if a thread has the subjects:
[Orgmode] org-indent, org-inlinetask: patches on github
Re: [Orgmode] org-indent, org-inlinetask: patches on github
[Orgmode] Re: org-indent, org-inlinetask: patches on github
the last of these would not have been considered the same and would
therefore have been shown.
kill-this-buffer appears to be a function intended specifically for
use in the menu bar, and causes problem killing notmuch buffers when
multiple frames have been used. This patch replaces kill-this-buffer
with notmuch-kill-this-buffer, which in turn just simply calls
(kill-buffer (current-buffer)).
This is part of an effort to avoid proliferation of excessive
top-level notmuch commands. Also, "raw" better captures the
functionality here, (as opposed to "cat" which is a fairly oblique
reference to a bad Unix abbreviation whose metaphor doesn't work here
since "notmuch cat" operates only on a single message and hence cannot
"con'cat'enate" anything).
This patch modifies the following commands to access the messages via
cat subcommand:
- view/save attachments ('v', 'w'),
- view a raw message ('V') and
- pipe a message to a command ('|').
With this patch, it is straightforward to use notmuch emacs interface
with a remote database accessed over SSH. To do this, it is sufficient
to redefine notmuch-command variable to contain the name of a script
containing:
ssh user@host notmuch "$@"
If the ssh client has enabled connection sharing (ControlMaster option
in OpenSSH), the emacs interface is almost as responsive as when
notmuch is invoked locally.
