If the given subcommand is not known to notmuch, try to execute
external notmuch-<subcommand> instead. This allows users to have their
own notmuch related tools be run via the notmuch command, not unlike
git does. Also notmuch-emacs-mua will be executable via 'notmuch
emacs-mua'.
By design, this does not allow notmuch's own subcommands to be
overriden using external commands.
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.
The function notmuch_exit_if_unmatched_db_uuid is split from
notmuch_process_shared_options because it needs an open notmuch
database.
There are two exceptional cases in uuid handling.
1) notmuch config and notmuch setup don't currently open the database,
so it doesn't make sense to check the UUID.
2) notmuch compact opens the database inside the library, so we either
need to open the database just to check uuid, or change the API.
In particular this fixes a recently encountered bug where the
"--config" argument to "notmuch setup" is silently ignored, which the
unpleasant consequence of overwriting the users config file.
Unfortunately it seems trickier to support --config globally
The non-trivial changes are in notmuch.c; most of the other changes
consists of blindly inserting two lines into every subcommand.
We call it with NULL at one point anyway, so it needs to work with
NULL. Since the only place we use talloc is right before exec, there
is no harm in always using NULL.
Recognize 'notmuch command --help' at the top level as a special case,
and show help for the command. Note that for simplicity, --help is
only recognized as the first option for the subcommand.
If the top level --help is combined with other options, help
fails. For example:
$ notmuch --version --help
Sorry, --help is not a known command. There's not much I can do to help.
Fix this by adjusting argc and argv appropriately. The help command
ignores argv[0] anyway, so we don't have to set it to "help".
This moves address-related functionality from search command to the
new address command. The implementation shares almost all code and
some command line options.
Options --offset and --limit were intentionally not included in the
address command, because they refer to messages numbers, which users
do not see in the output. This could confuse users because, for
example, they could see more addresses in the output that what was
specified with --limit. This functionality can be correctly
reimplemented for address subcommand later.
Also useless values of --exclude flag were not included in the address
command.
This was inspired by a patch from Jani Nikula.
Apart from the status codes for format mismatches, the non-zero exit
status codes have been arbitrary. Make the cli consistently return
either EXIT_SUCCESS or EXIT_FAILURE.
Previously, the CLI would print a deprecation warning if a client
requested any format version other than the current one. However, if
we add fields that are backwards-compatible, but want clients to be
able to depend on, we need to bump the version, but that doesn't make
the older version deprecated.
Hence, separate out the "minimum active" version and only print a
warning for requests below this version number.

The notmuch insert command reads a message from standard input,
writes it to a Maildir folder, and then incorporates the message into
the notmuch database. Essentially it moves the functionality of
notmuch-deliver into notmuch.
Though it could be used as an alternative to notmuch new, the reason
I want this is to allow my notmuch frontend to add postponed or sent
messages to the mail store and notmuch database, without resorting to
another tool (e.g. notmuch-deliver) nor directly modifying the maildir.
While looked good on paper, its attempted use caused confusion, complexity,
and potential for information leak when passed through wrapper scripts.
For slimmer code and to lessen demand for maintenance/support the set of
commits which added top level --stderr= option is now reverted.
With this option all writes to stderr are redirected to the specified
FILE (or to stdout on case FILE is '-'). This is immediately useful
in emacs interface as some of its exec intefaces do not provide
separation of stdout and stderr.
This allows specifying config file as a top level argument to notmuch,
and generally makes it possible to override config file options in
main(), without having to touch the subcommands.
If the config file does not exist, one will be created for the notmuch
main command and setup and help subcommands. Help is special in this
regard; the config is created just to avoid errors about missing
config, but it will not be saved.
This also makes notmuch config the talloc context for subcommands.
We now have a notmuch_config_is_new() function to query whether a
config was created or not. Change the notmuch_config_open() is_new
parameter into boolean create_new to determine whether the function
should create a new config if one doesn't exist. This reduces the
complexity of the API.
This allows top level arguments to be added to notmuch in a way that
doesn't require special handling for the plain notmuch command without
a subcommand.
This really should have been there before. I think it's better to do
the actual operation and then possibly fail writing the memory log,
but it would not be too hard to change it to abort earlier.
The commands are long deprecated, so removal is probably overdue. The
real motivation is to simplify argument handling for notmuch so that
we can migrate to the common argument parsing framework.
The argument handling in notmuch.c seems due for an overhaul, but
until then use an environment variable to specify a location to write
the talloc leak report to. This is only enabled for the (interesting)
case where some notmuch subcommand is invoked.
Currently there is a period of pain whenever we make
backward-incompatible changes to the structured output format, which
discourages not only backward-incompatible improvements to the format,
but also backwards-compatible additions that may not be "perfect". In
the end, these problems limit experimentation and innovation.
This series of patches introduces a way for CLI callers to request a
specific format version on the command line and to determine if the
CLI does not supported the requested version (and perhaps present a
useful diagnostic to the user). Since the caller requests a format
version, it's also possible for the CLI to support multiple
incompatible versions simultaneously, unlike the alternate approach of
including version information in the output.
This patch lays the groundwork by introducing a versioning convention,
standard exit codes, and a utility function to check the requested
version and produce standardized diagnostic messages and exit
statuses.
"notmuch help" now relies on a working man installation, and a correct
setting of MANPATH, for users that install in "unusual" places. This
should probably noted in NEWS before shipping.
There is still some small duplication of docs as the one line
summaries are hard coded in the binary. This seems preferable to
complicated script games, at least as long was we are using a
presentation level markup like nroff.
Run notmuch new pre and post hooks, named "pre-new" and "post-new", if
present in the notmuch hooks directory. The hooks will be run before and
after incorporating new messages to the database.
Typical use cases for pre-new and post-new hooks are fetching or delivering
new mail to the maildir, and custom tagging of the mail incorporated to the
database.
Also add command line option --no-hooks to notmuch new to bypass the hooks.

When I changed the calling convention to pass in all but the zero-th
argument to subcommands, I missed this one call, resulting in a
segmentation fault.
As a bonus, the syntax "notmuch --help foo" is now equivalent to
"notmuch help foo".
Add options --offset=[-]N and --limit=M to notmuch search to determine the
first result and maximum number of results to display.
Option --limit=M limits the maximum number of results to display to M.
Option --offset=[-]N skips the first N results; with the leading '-' skip
until the Nth result from the end.
Note that --offset with a negative N for thread or summary output requires
counting the number of matching threads in advance.

previously we deleted the subcommand name from argv before passing to
the subcommand. In this version, the deletion is done in the actual
subcommands. Although this causes some duplication of code, it allows
us to be more flexible about how we parse command line arguments in
the subcommand, including possibly using off-the-shelf routines like
getopt_long that expect the name of the command in argv[0].
The Glib docs state "Prior to any use of the type system, g_type_init() has to
be called".[1] To not do so can lead to segfaults. The g_type system is
currently used by various "filters" that operate on uuencoded text, message
headers, etc.

This adds support for decrypting PGP/MIME-encrypted parts to
notmuch-show and notmuch-reply. The --decrypt option implies
--verify. Once decryption (and possibly signature verification) is
done, a new part_encstatus formatter is emitted, the part_sigstatus
formatter is emitted, and the entire multipart/encrypted part is
replaced by the contents of the encrypted part.
At the moment only a json part_encstatus formatting function is
available, even though decryption is done for all formats. Emacs
support to follow.
This is primarily for notmuch-show, although the functionality is
added to show-message. Once signatures are processed a new
part_sigstatus formatter is emitted, and the entire multipart/signed
part is replaced with the contents of the signed part.
At the moment only a json part_sigstatus formatting function is
available. Emacs support to follow.
The original work for this patch was done by
Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net>
whose help with this functionality I greatly appreciate.
Ever since we added support for "notmuch search --output=tags" the
"notmuch search-tags" command has been redundant. The recent addition
of alias support makes it easy to drop the explicit search-tags
command in favor of a simple alias that runs "notmuch search
--output=tags *".
So there's no longer any documentation of the search-tags command, but
existing scripts will not break at all.
We recently made the --part option to "notmuch show" trigger a default
format of "raw", (since the previous default of "text" is not often
useful with a single part---especially a non-text part).
Here, we update the documentation to match.
We unifed the "notmuch part" functionality into "notmuch show" where
the implementation is both simpler and more powerful. But there's no
good reason to break users of the old interface.
Add support for aliases, which are undocumented means of getting at
functionality through deprecated names. The first such alias is
"notmuch part" as implemented here.
