3ab18d1c22 README: Mention that notmuch only supports maildir or mh format.
Justin B Rye pointed out (in Debian bug #566282) that a user with mail
in mbox format can spend a lot of time investigating notmuch before
realizing that mbox is not supported. Head that off with a more
detailed mention in the README blurb.

3474263823 emacs: Avoid removing the unread tag due to internal navigation
Sometimes the internals of the implementation navigate among messages,
(as opposed to the user explicitly requesting the next message to be
shown). In these cases we don't want to remove the unread tag from the
message navigated to.

This fixes a bug where invocation of notmuch-show-next-unread-message
would clear the unread tag from all messages in a thread.

4b9d2e3a4d Simplify "unread" tag handling in emacs UI.
This patch is intended to greatly simplify the handling of the
"unread" tag in the emacs UI.  This patch adds a new function
'notmuch-show-mark-read', that removes the "unread" tag in
notmuch-show-mode.  This function is then executed as a
notmuch-show-hook, and by notmuch-show-next-message.  All of the
functions that explicitly marked messages as unread are removed or
renamed.

The idea here is that the user should never have to worry about
manipulating the "unread" tag.  The tag should persist until the user
actually views a message, at which point it should be automatically
removed.  This patch simplifies the notmuch.el quite a bit, removing a
lot of somewhat redundant functions, and reducing clutter in the name
and key-mapping space.

a7afcee50c TODO: We should fix the --format=json option to not imply --entire-thread.
What we print and how we print it are orthogonal options, so --format
shouldn't change what messages are printed.

5171831813 notmuch search: Use "thread" rather than "id" when formatting with JSON
The text output uses thread:<foo>, (which is a syntax directly supported
by "notmuch show"), so make the json output be "thread", "<foo>" rather
than "id", "<foo>". This should help avoid confusion of thread IDs with
message IDs, (which do use the "id" prefix in searches).

cfa95eec27 json: Add copy of MIT license text from cJSON
When we incorporate external code, we should include its license,
(particularly when one of the terms of the license is to include it in

6ce2bf68f5 Add an "--format=(json|text)" command-line option to both notmuch-search and notmuch-show.
In the case of notmuch-show, "--format=json" also implies
"--entire-thread" as the thread structure is implicit in the emitted
document tree.

As a coincidence to the implementation, multipart message ID numbers are
now incremented with each part printed. This changes the previous
semantics, which were unclear and not necessary related to the actual
ordering of the message parts.

3ca7a4fbcc TODO: Rename the proposed --for option to --output
We've been using --output in IRC and on the mailing list for a while,
(someone had the good sense to point out that --for would defeat
command-line completion since it's a prefix of the proposed --format).

3910000fe8 notmuch.el: Emphasize the 'i' of 'ID' in the documentation for 'c i'.
We're using 'i' in the keybinding, so it helps to have a capital
'I' in the help string to empahsize the point.

4e76865c0d Change the stash keybinding from 'z' to 'c'. And use 'i' for message ID.
In spite of being implemented with the word "stash" in the function
names, the documentation (and hence help strings) for each function
already use the word "Copy" to describe the action. So 'c' is a much
more natural key-binding, (particularly since 'z' didn't map to any
real word anyway).

We also use 'i' for the message ID copying of the submap. This is
intended to align mnemonically with the "id:" prefix already used
for message IDs.

b20bc7028d notmuch.el: convert sparse keymap to a list in notmuch-substitute-one-command-key-with-prefix
The previous version would crash when a key was bound to a sparse
keymap, since apparently these are not straightforward lists.  The
usage of map-keymap is a bit obscure: it only has side-effects, no

1137ce11e1 Add functions notmuch-show-get-(bcc, cc, date, from, subject, to).
Return the corresponding header field for the current message as a

e6c6bf3250 notmuch-show-get-header: new function; return alist of parsed header fields.
This function parses the displayed message to recover header

notmuch-show-message-begin-regexp, notmuch-show-header-begin-regexp,
and notmuch-show-message-end-regexp.

7e3b416153 notmuch.el: Fix bug from message with ':' in the From address.
Eric reported that a particular thread was non-functional in the
notmuch-search mode in the emacs client. It was easy enough to trace
the bug down to a broken regular expression (using ':' instead of
';'). The bug would be triggered by a message with ':' in the
From address.

This is something I hope to add to the test suite as soon as we have
support for testing the emacs interface there.

2174adf374 notmuch.el: Handle attached images via an external viewer.
We temporarily override the mm-inline-media-tests variable so that the
only parts inserted into the temporary buffer (and lost) are those
parts that the user has already seen in the notmuch-show buffer.

Anything else, (such as images), will now be left to be handled via
mailcap, just like other attachment types.

ca16b2225d notmuch.el: Avoid infinite loop marking up message with no parts.
The infinite loop was triggered by a message consisting of a single
attachment within the body, (and no "part") tags.

We need to do things in response to this bug (beyond this specific
fix):

1. Create a test suite that exercises our emacs frontend so that bugs
   like this do not come back to haunt us after we fix them once.

2. Switch from our ad-hoc regexp based search of message-part delimeters
   to known-good code for parsing a structured document, (for example,
   the outstanding JSON patches).

9439b217c3 Switch from random to sequential thread identifiers.
The sequential identifiers have the advantage of being guaranteed to
be unique (until we overflow a 64-bit unsigned integer), and also take
up half as much space in the "notmuch search" output (16 columns
rather than 32).

This change also has the side effect of fixing a bug where notmuch
could block on /dev/random at startup (waiting for some entropy to
appear). This bug was hit hard by the test suite, (which could easily
exhaust the available entropy on common systems---resulting in large
delays of the test suite).

24b2f7699f notmuch.el: Refactor citation markup. Variables for minimum size, button text.
This is a fairly intrusive rewrite.

- I pulled the common code for the signature and citation case out
  into a separate function. This is not so much shorter, but I think it
  will be easier to maintain.

- I replaced the sequence of (looking-at blah) (forward-line)  with a single
  re-search-forward per citation.

New variables

- notmuch-show-signature-button-format, notmuch-show-citation-button-format
  Allow customization of button text.

- notmuch-show-citation-lines-min
  Do not buttonize citations below the given threshold.

069cb5a73a notmuch restore: Don't waste time with messages with unchanged tags.
It's a simple optimization to look at a message and check that the
existing tags are actually different than the tags we are setting
before we do anything.

For my mail store this takes a "notmuch restore" that does nothing
from about 10 minutes down to 1 minute, so there's a significant
speedup here.

3767c6f9f9 notmuch new: Don't index uuencoded data.
With modern MIME attachments, we're already avoiding indexing the
attachments. But for old-school uuencoded data in the mail, we have
been directly indexing the encoded data as terms, (which is not useful
at all---nobody will ever ytry to search based on the seemingly random
uuencoded data).

Additionally, indexing a modestly large uuencoded file seems to make
Xapian go insane, (consuming *lots* of memory).

We fix both problems by detecting uuencoded content and not performing
any indexing of it.
