The `notmuch-show-mark-read-tags' lists tags that are to be applied when
message is read. By default, the only value is "-unread" which will remove
the unread tag. Among other uses, this variable can be used to stop
notmuch-show from modifying tags when message is shown (by setting the
variable to an empty list).
Previously, notmuch-show-previous-message would move to the beginning
of the message before the message containing point. This patch makes
it instead move to the previous message *boundary*. That is, if point
isn't already at the beginning of the message, it moves to the
beginning of the current message. This is consistent with
notmuch-show-next-message, which can be thought of as moving to the
next message boundary. Several people have expressed a preference for
this.
The recent change to use json for notmuch-search.el introduced a bug
in the code for keeping position on refresh. The problem is a
comparison between (plist-get result :thread) and a thread-id returned
by notmuch-search-find-thread-id: the latter is prefixed with
"thread:"
We fix this by adding an option to notmuch-search-find-thread-id to
return the bare thread-id. It appears that notmuch-search-refresh-view
is the only caller of notmuch-search that supplies a thread-id so this
change should be safe (but could theoretically break users .emacs
functions).
Previously, the Emacs byte compiler produced the warning
the function `remove-if-not' might not be defined at runtime.
because we only required cl at compile-time (not runtime). This fixes
this warning by requiring cl at runtime, ensuring that the definition
of remove-if-not is available.
The pipe message function (when used with a prefix) uses a search of
the form "id:<id1> or id:<id2>" etc. Since the user says precisely
which messages are wanted by opening them it should not use excludes.
In commit 5d0883e the function notmuch-search-next-thread was changed.
In particular it only goes to the next message if there is a next
message. This breaks notmuch-show-archive-thread-then-next. Fix this
by going to the "next" message whenever we are on a current message.
At this point, the only remaining functions that don't support
multi-line search result formats are the thread navigation functions.
This patch fixes that by rewriting them in terms of
notmuch-search-result-{beginning,end}.
This changes the behavior of notmuch-search-previous-thread slightly
so that if point isn't at the beginning of a result, it first moves
point to the beginning of the result.
Previously we ignored any notmuch-search-result-format customizations
for tag formatting because we needed to be able to parse back in the
result line and update the tags in place. We no longer do either of
these things, so we can allow customization of this format.
(Coincidentally, previously we still allowed too much customization of
the tags format, since moving it earlier on the line or removing it
from the line would interfere with the tagging mechanism. There is
now no problem with doing such things.)
Since the result object contains everything that the other text
properties recorded, we can remove the other text properties and
simply look in the plist of the appropriate result object.
This simplifies the traversal of regions of results and eliminates the
need for save-excursions (which tend to get in the way of maintaining
point when we make changes to the buffer). It also fixes some strange
corner cases in the old line-based code where results that bordered
the region but were not included in it could be affected by region
commands. Coincidentally, this also essentially enables multi-line
search result formats; the only remaining non-multi-line-capable
functions are notmuch-search-{next,previous}-thread, which are only
used for interactive navigation.
Now that we keep the full thread result object, we can refresh a
result after any changes by simply deleting and reconstructing the
result line from scratch.
A convenient side-effect of this wholesale replacement is that search
now re-applies notmuch-search-line-faces when tags change.
Previously, tag-based search result highlighting was done by creating
an overlay over each search result. However, overlays have annoying
front- and rear-advancement semantics that make it difficult to
manipulate text at their boundaries, which the next patch will do.
They also have performance problems (creating an overlay is linear in
the number of overlays between point and the new overlay, making
highlighting a search buffer quadratic in the number of results).
Text properties have neither problem. However, text properties make
it more difficult to apply multiple faces since, unlike with overlays,
a given character can only have a single 'face text property. Hence,
we introduce a utility function that combines faces into any existing
'face text properties.
Using this utility function, it's straightforward to apply all of the
appropriate tag faces in notmuch-search-color-line.
notmuch-message-mark-replied used "apply" to change message tags
according to notmuch-message-replied-tags after sending a reply. This
works if the latter is a single-element list. But with the recently
changed format of tag changes, it breaks for multiple-element lists.
Use "funcall" to properly pass the list of tag changes as a single
argument.
The JSON format eliminates the complex escaping issues that have
plagued the text search format. This uses the incremental JSON parser
so that, like the text parser, it can output search results
incrementally.
This slows down the parser by about ~4X, but puts us in a good
position to optimize either by improving the JSON parser (evidence
suggests this can reduce the overhead to ~40% over the text format) or
by switching to S-expressions (evidence suggests this will more than
double performance over the text parser). [1]
This also fixes the incremental search parsing test.
This has one minor side-effect on search result formatting.
Previously, the date field was always padded to a fixed width of 12
characters because of how the text parser's regexp was written. The
JSON format doesn't do this. We could pad it out in Emacs before
formatting it, but, since all of the other fields are variable width,
we instead fix notmuch-search-result-format to take the variable-width
field and pad it out. For users who have customized this variable,
we'll mention in the NEWS how to fix this slight format change.

This parser is designed to read streaming JSON whose structure is
known to the caller. Like a typical JSON parsing interface, it
provides a function to read a complete JSON value from the input.
However, it extends this with an additional function that
requires the next value in the input to be a compound value and
descends into it, allowing its elements to be read one at a time
or further descended into. Both functions can return 'retry to
indicate that not enough input is available.
The parser supports efficient partial parsing, so there's no need to
frame the input for correctness or performance.
The bulk of the parsing is still done by Emacs' json.el, so any
improvements or optimizations to that will benefit the incremental
parser as well.
Currently only descending into JSON lists is supported because that's
all we need, but support for descending into JSON objects can be added
in the future.
Rather than passing lots of arguments and then further passing those
to `notmuch-search-insert-field', pass a plist containing all of the
search result information. This plist is compatible with the JSON
format search results.
This is a simpler place to do this, since we can avoid any point
motion and hence any save-excursions in
`notmuch-search-process-filter', which in turn lets us put all of the
search-target logic outside of any save-excursions.
`notmuch-search-show-{result,error}' are now responsible for their own
point motion.
`notmuch-search-process-filter' could use some reindentation after
this, but we're about to rewrite it entirely, so we won't bother.
This removes the last bit of direct output from the parsing function.
With the parser now responsible solely for parsing, we can swap it out
for another parser.
Previously, much of the display of search lines was done in the same
function that parsed the CLI's output. Now the parsing function only
parses, and notmuch-search-show-result fully inserts the search result
in the search buffer.
This introduces a variable to control after how many characters a line
is wrapped by notmuch-wash-wrap-long-lines (still wrapping at the
window width if it is lower).
Previously the elide messages code got the entire-thread from
notmuch-show.c and then threw away all non-matching messages. This
version calls notmuch-show.c without the --entire-thread flag so
it never receives the non-matching messages in the first place.
This makes it substantially faster.

Previously, the timestamp at the beginning of the FCC unique maildir
name was derived incorrectly, thanks to an integer overflow. This
changes the derivation of timestamp to use a float, and so will get
the number correct at least until 2038. (It is still formatted with
"%d" so it will show up as an integer.) Should we need to change it in
the next 26 years to take the unix millenium into account, it will be
invisible to users.
This change is mostly a question of consistency, since the unique name
is arbitrary anyway. But since most people use timestamps, and that was
the original intention here as well, we might as well.

When mail message is read from emacs, the message structure
obtained may contain parts which have content included
(`text/plain` for example) and other parts where content is not
included (`text/html` for example).
In case content is included, the string is already available in
emacs' internal format and therefore mm-... functions should not
attempt to do further decoding for the data in temp buffer
provided for it.
Currently when reply buffer is created,
notmuch-mm-display-part-inline () is used to provided quoted reply
content. This change makes the mm-... functions called by it use
'gnus-decoded as charset whenever the content is already available.
File .../emacs-23.3/lisp/gnus/mm-uu.el mentions:
"`gnus-decoded' is a fake charset, which means no further decoding."
The customization widget referred to a non-existing function
`notmuch-hello-insert-query-list'. The patch changes it to the
correct one - `notmuch-hello-insert-searches'. The relevant test is
fixed now.
Sometimes, notmuch reply outputs something to stderr, for example:
"Failed to verify signed part: Cannot verify multipart/signed part:
unsupported signature protocol". When this happens, replying in emacs
fails, because emacs cannot parse the error message as JSON.
This patch causes emacs to ignore stderr when reading reply from
notmuch.

Quote non-text parts nicely by displaying them with mm-display-part
before calling message-cite-original to quote them. HTML-only emails
can now be quoted correctly. We re-use some code from notmuch-show
(notmuch-show-mm-display-part-inline), which has been moved to
notmuch-lib.el.
Mark the test for this feature as not broken.
The main change here is to modify argument parsing so as to not force
tag-changes to be a list, and to let notmuch-tag handle prompting the
user when required. doc strings are also updated and cleaned up.
The main change here is to modify argument parsing so as to not force
tag-changes to be a list, and to let notmuch-tag handle prompting the
user when required. doc strings are also updated and cleaned up.
notmuch-tag is extended to accept various formats of the tag changes.
In particular, user prompting for tag changes is now incorporated
here, so it is common for modes.
The tag binary and the notmuch-{before,after}-tag-hooks are only
called if tag changes is non-nil.
In all cases tag-changes is returned as a list.
Tagging functions are used in notmuch.el, notmuch-show.el, and
notmuch-message.el. There are enough common functions for tagging
that it makes sense to put them all in their own library.
No code is modified, just moved around.
When using the spacebar to scroll through a thread, hitting 'space'
when the bottom of the last message is visible should take the cursor
to the end of the buffer rather than immediately archiving the thread
and moving to the next thread.
Currently emacs show does not open matching but excluded
messages. This is normally the desired behaviour but is probably not
ideal if only excluded messages match. This patch opens all the
matching (necessarily excluded) messages in this case and goes to the
first one.
A previous patch [0] replaced blank subject lines with '[No Subject]'
in search and show mode. Apparently this was needed to circumvent
some bug in the printing code, but there was no need for it search or
show, and it is definitely not desirable, so we undo it here (a revert
is no longer feasible). We should not be modifying strings in the
original message without good reason, or without a clear indication
that we are doing so, neither of which apply in this case. For
further discussion see [0].

No functional change here. The help message previously referred to
the "delete" tag, but "deleted" is now preferred, so hopefully this
will reduce any potential confusion.
The new message exclude functionality will hide tags that only exist
on excluded messages. However, one might very well want to manually
modify excluded tags. This makes sure tags from excluded messages are
always available in tab completion.
This patch removes trailing spaces in notmuch-hello view.
A side effect of this change is that tag/query buttons no longer
include a space at the end. This means that pressing RET when the
point is at the first character after the tag/query button no longer
works (note that this is the standard behavior for buttons). We may
change this behavior in the future (without adding trailing spaces
back) if people would find this change inconvenient.
Show has to set --exclude=false to deal with cases where it is asked
to show a single excluded message. It uses JSON so it can easily pass
the exclude information to the user.
In the new reply code, the References header gets inserted by
message.el using a function called message-shorten-references. Unlike
all the other header-inserting functions, it doesn't put a newline
after the header, causing the next header to end up on the same
line. In our case, this header happened to be User-Agent, so it's hard
to notice. This is probably a bug in message.el, but we need to work
around it.
This fixes the problem by wrapping message-shorten-references in a
function that inserts a newline after if necessary. This should
protect against the message.el bug being fixed in the future.
Bug 1: Replying from alternate addresses
----------------------------------------
The reply code was inconsistent in its use of symbols and strings for
header names being passed to message.el functions. This caused the
From header to be lookup up incorrectly, causing an additional From
header to be added with the user's primary address instead of the
correct alternate address.
This is fixed by using symbols everywhere, i.e. never using strings
for header names when interacting with message.el.
This change also removes our use of `mail-header`, since we don't use
it anywhere else, and using assq makes it clear how the header lists
are expected to work.
Bug 2: Duplicate headers in emacs 23.2
--------------------------------------
The message.el code in emacs 23.2 assumes that header names will
always be passed as symbols, so our use of strings caused
problems. The symptom was that on 23.2 (and presumably on earlier
versions) the reply message would end up with two of some headers.
Converting everything to symbols also fixes this issue.
Previously, this function took an argument called "message-id", even
though it was a general query, rather than a message ID. This changes
it to "query".
This adds a lib function to turn a message ID into a properly escaped
message ID query and uses this function wherever we previously
hand-constructed ID queries. Wherever this new function is used,
documentation has been clarified to refer to "id: queries" instead of
"message IDs".
This fixes the broken test introduced by the previous patch.
The function notmuch-match-content-type was comparing content types
case sensitively. Fix it so it tests case insensitively.
This fixes a bug where emacs would not include any body when replying
to a message with content-type TEXT/PLAIN.
Use the new JSON reply format to create replies in emacs. Quote HTML
parts nicely by using mm-display-part to turn them into displayable
text, then quoting them with message-cite-original. This is very
useful for users who regularly receive HTML-only email.
Use message-mode's message-cite-original function to create the
quoted body for reply messages. In order to make this act like the
existing notmuch defaults, you will need to set the following in
your emacs configuration:
message-citation-line-format "On %a, %d %b %Y, %f wrote:"
message-citation-line-function 'message-insert-formatted-citation-line
The tests have been updated to reflect the (ugly) emacs default.
In X, Emacs distinguishes the tab key, which produces a 'tab event;
from C-i, which produces a ?\t event. However, in a terminal, these
are indistinguishable and only produce a ?\t event. In order to
simplify things, Emacs automatically translates from 'tab to ?\t (see
"Function key translations" in M-x describe-bindings), so functions
only need to be bound to ?\t to work in all situations.
Previously, the search tab completion code usedq (kbd "<tab>"), which
produced the event sequence [tab], which only matched the 'tab event
and hence only worked in X. This patch changes it to (kbd "TAB"),
which matches the general ?\t event and works in all situations.
The reply MML quoting added in commit ae438cc unintentionally MML
quotes also the signature/encryption MML tags added via
message-setup-hook, causing the reply not to be signed/encrypted.
MML quote just the original message in the temp buffer before
inserting it to the message buffer, to not interfere with message mode
hooks or message construction in general.

This is a small change to make notmuch.el ignore excluded matches. In
the future it could do something better like add a button for
rerunning the search with the excludes (particularly if nothing
matches with the excludes) or having them invisible and allowing the
visibility to be toggled.
Show mode will recognize the exclude flag by not opening excluding
messages by default, and will start at the first matching non-excluded
message. If there are no matching non-excluded messages it will go to
the first matching (necessarily excluded) message.
After retrieving gpg key retain show buffer state like in
all other operations (i.e. no other calls to notmuch-show-refresh-view
provides optional reset-state argument).
Emacs MUA keeps current message under cursor instead of going first
open message(possibly marking it read).
This patch makes the notmuch-hello screen fully customizable
by allowing the user to add and remove arbitrary sections. It
also provides some convenience functions for constructing sections,
e.g. showing the unread message count for each tag.
This is done by specifying a list of functions that will be run
when notmuch-hello is invoked.
It is not clear whether the term "thread" refers to the thread in the
database or to the thread currently shown in a buffer. Those two
meanings may refer to different sets of messages, e.g. when a new email
is added to the database while the buffer shows the state before the new
email arrived.
This patch replaces the term thread with the term current buffer, which
is hopefully less ambiguous.
The behavior of the header line in show-mode changed from showing the
subject of the first open message to showing the subject of the first
message in 4d77f18b. Update a comment to reflect this.
Consensus seems to be that people prefer that refreshing show buffers
retains state by default, rather than resetting it by default. This
turns out to be the case in the code, as well. In fact, there's even
a test for this that's been marked broken for several months, which
this patch finally gets to mark as fixed.
If we retain state while refreshing a show buffer, it should not mark
any messages read since it's not a navigation operation (it especially
shouldn't mark the first message matching the query read, which is
what it did previously). If the user or caller requests that refresh
reset the state of the buffer, then we consider that a navigation
operation, so we do mark the message under point after the refresh
read.
This is implemented by moving responsibility for initial positioning
and read-marking out of notmuch-show-worker and into its caller.
Since notmuch-show-worker is now exclusively about building the show
buffer, we rename it to notmuch-show-build-buffer.

When notmuch-search-line-faces is used to set background color in search
results, the highlight of the current line is not always displayed
correctly. This patch fixes that by increasing the priority property of
the highlight overlay.
The notmuch-show view refresh function (`notmuch-show-refresh-view',
bound to "=") accepts an optional RETAIN-STATE argument. The patch
allows to set this argument interactively by using "C-u =".
Recent changes in notmuch-show tagging introduced some code
duplication. The patch cleanups and simplifies
`notmuch-show-archive-thread' function by using
`notmuch-show-tag-all', no longer used function are removed. After
the change, `notmuch-show-archive-thread' function becomes symmetric
with `notmuch-show-archive-message'.
A side effect of these changes is that `notmuch-show-archive-thread'
no longer calls "notmuch tag" for each message in the thread.
With an argument, record and reply the state of the buffer during
`notmuch-show-refresh-view'.
In this context, "state" is defined as:
- the open/closed state of each message,
- the current message.
Traditional use of refresh with the = key does not retain the
state. The recently introduced toggle commands ($, !, < and >) do
retain the state.
Very deeply indented content is sometimes difficult to
read (particular for something like patches). Allow the indentation of
the content to be toggled with '<'.
Indentation of the header lines is not affected, so it remains
possible to see the structure of the thread.
The current behaviour (all messages shown, non-matching collapsed)
is retained as the default. Type '!' to switch to showing only
the matching messages - non-matching messages are not available.
'!' will switch back to showing everything.
Re-work the existing crypto switch toggle to be based on a persistant
buffer-local variable.
To allow this, modify `notmuch-show-refresh-view' to erase and re-draw
in the current buffer rather than killing the current buffer and
creating a new one. (This will also allow more per-buffer behaviour in
future patches.)
Add a binding ('$') to toggle crypto processing of the current buffer
and remove the prefix argument approach that achieves a similar
result.
When showing the user some details of gnupg output, ensure that those
details are shown at the end of the gnupg status buffer
("*notmuch-crypto-gpg-out*"), otherwise it can end up mixed up with
earlier output.
Add default value to notmuch-search-line-faces to show "unread"
messages in bold, and "flagged" messages in blue, to have some visual
indication of important messages in search results. This should be
helpful for new users.
"unread" tag is quite obvious, and handled specially both in the lib
and emacs ui. "flagged" is synced to maildir F flag in the lib. If one
syncs the maildir to IMAP, this also translates to corresponding IMAP
flag. (This is "starred" in GMail and Android.)

Modify the show view key bindings as follows to make them more
consistent:
'a' = Archive current message, then move to next message, or show next
thread from search if at the last message in thread.
'A' = Archive each message in thread, then show next thread from
search.
'x' = Archive current message, then move to next message, or exit back
to search results if at the last message in thread.
'X' = Archive each message in thread, then exit back to search
results.
The changes make the key bindings more consistent in two ways:
1) 'a'/'A' both advance to the next thread like 'a' used to.
2) 'x' operates on messages and 'X' on threads like 'a'/'A'.
This makes the argument names more consistent and clear. The
following functions changed: `notmuch-tag',
`notmuch-search-tag-thread', `notmuch-search-tag-region' and
`notmuch-search-tag-all'.
Since `notmuch-tag' is a non-interactive function and hence is meant
to be invoked programmatically, it should accept zero tags. Also, the
tagging operations (bound to "*", "+", "-") would accept empty input
without an error.
The tag syntax check in `notmuch-tag' function was too strict and did
not allow nmbug tags with "::". Since the check is done for all
tagging operations in Emacs UI, this basically means that no nmbug
tags can be changed. The patch relaxes the tag syntax check to allow
any tag names that do not include whitespace characters.
Some tag-related operations accept a single tag without prefix
(`notmuch-select-tag-with-completion'), others accept multiple tags
prefixed with '+' or '-' (`notmuch-read-tag-changes'). Before the
change, both functions used a single default minibuffer history. This
is inconvenient because you have to skip options with incompatible
format when going through the history. The patch adds separate
history lists for the two functions. Note that functions that accept
the same input format (e.g. "+", "-", "*") share the history list as
before.
The patch adds `notmuch-show-tag-all' function bound to "*" in
notmuch-show view. The function is similar to the
`notmuch-search-tag-all' function for the notmuch-search view: it
changes tags for all messages in the current thread.
Before the change, "+" and "-" tagging operations in notmuch-show view
accepted only a single tag. The patch makes them use the recently
added `notmuch-read-tag-changes' function, which allows to enter
multiple tags with "+" and "-" prefixes. So after the change, "+" and
"-" bindings in notmuch-show view allow to both add and remove
multiple tags. The only difference between "+" and "-" is the
minibuffer initial input ("+" and "-" respectively).
Before the change, "+" and "-" tagging operations in notmuch-search
view accepted only a single tag. The patch makes them use the
recently added `notmuch-read-tag-changes' function (renamed
`notmuch-select-tags-with-completion'), which allows to enter multiple
tags with "+" and "-" prefixes. So after the change, "+" and "-"
bindings in notmuch-search view allow to both add and remove multiple
tags. The only difference between "+" and "-" is the minibuffer
initial input ("+" and "-" respectively).
Before the change, tag format validation was done in
`notmuch-search-operate-all' function only. The patch moves it down
to `notmuch-tag', so that all users of that function get input
validation.
