Users are missing out on various functions which usefully improve the
display of text/plain message parts because they are not enabled by
default. Enable a useful set.
`notmuch-wash-convert-inline-patch-to-part' is _not_ enabled by
default as it is based on a heuristic.
Use the mail subject line for creating a descriptive filename for the wash
generated inline patch fake parts. The names are similar to the ones
created by 'git format-patch'.
If the user has notmuch-wash-convert-inline-patch-to-part hook enabled in
notmuch-show-insert-text/plain-hook, this will change the old default
filename of "inline patch" in fake parts:
[ inline patch: inline patch (as text/x-diff) ]
into, for example:
[ 0002-emacs-create-patch-filename-from-subject-for-inline.patch: inline patch (as text/x-diff) ]
which is typically the same filename the sender had if he was using 'git
format-patch' and 'git send-email'.

Examples in documentation for `notmuch-search-line-faces' had an extra
quote, e.g.:
'(\"unread\" . '(:foreground \"green\"))
Which resulted in values like:
(\"unread\" quote (:foreground \"green\"))
And tons of "Invalid face reference: quote" errors in the messages
buffer.
Since message-ids necessarily match just a single message, there's no
reason to do a search for the id before viewing the actual message;
the search just becomes an extra screen to click through. Clicking on
an id: links now just jumps straight to the message itself.
Text properties change between characters; prev-s-c-property-change
returns the position after the change. Thus, it is still inside the
invisible region.
Notmuch-hello stores a list of recent searches. Before the change, if
a search from this list is repeated, the recent search list is not
changed. The patch makes repeated recent searches move to the head of
the list. I.e. the last search is always on top of the recent search
list, which is what one would expect from a history list.
This had been discussed and decided on IRC.
Rationale:
Therefore the space is recommended in the SI/ISO 31-0 standard, and the
International Bureau of Weights and Measures states that "for numbers with
many digits the digits may be divided into groups of three by a thin space, in
order to facilitate reading. Neither dots nor commas are inserted in the
spaces between groups of three".
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator#Digit_grouping)
If the address matching function generates no matches, don't prompt
the user to choose between them (!). Instead, generate a message to
report that there were no matches.
The :options keyword is not meaningful for function type. Also, it was not
possible to enter nil value, contrary to the notmuch-mua-user-agent
defcustom documentation. Specify the alternatives using choice type, taking
nil into account.

From a Carl Worth idea: add a function which will select the most
recently used notmuch buffer (search, show or hello). If no recent
buffer is found, run `notmuch'.
It is expected that the user will global bind this command to a key
sequence.
`notmuch-hello' should call `notmuch-hello-mode' function only when
run for the first time. But before the change, `notmuch-hello' used
`kill-all-local-variables' to remove editable widgets fields. This
caused the major mode to be reset, and `notmuch-hello-mode' to be
called every time.
The patch manually deletes all editable widget fields and removes
`kill-all-local-variables' call.
From the emacs changelog:
** `compose-mail' now accepts an optional 8th arg, RETURN-ACTION, and
passes it to the mail user agent function. This argument specifies an
action for returning to the caller after finishing with the mail.
This is currently used by Rmail to delete a mail window.
Under Emacs 24, notmuch breaks when this argument is passed to it by a
function in another part of Emacs. One example of a functon that does
this is report-emacs-bug -- so notmuch users cannot file emacs bug
reports!
This patch also adds a &rest argument to the arg-list of this function,
to future-proof against such changes. This is adapted from the approach
taken by message-mail, a similar function built into emacs.

Commit cb841878 introduced new parts handlers for crypto parts, but also
hardcoded values for their headers face. This replaces these hardcoded values
with a customizable face.
Support nil value for notmuch-poll-script to run "notmuch new" instead of
an external script, and make this the new default. "notmuch new" is run
using the configured notmuch-command.
This allows taking better advantage of the "notmuch new" hooks from emacs
without intermediate scripts.

Before the change, there was a workaround to avoid notmuch show calls
for parts with application/* Content-Type. But non-inlinable parts
are not limited to this Content-Type (e.g. mp3 files have audio/mpeg
Content-Type and are not inlinable). For such parts
`notmuch-show-insert-part-*/*' handler is called which unconditionally
fetches contents for all parts.
The patch moves content fetching from `notmuch-show-insert-part-*/*'
to `notmuch-show-mm-display-part-inline' function after MIME inlinable
checks are done to avoid useless notmuch show calls. The
application/* hack is no longer needed and removed.
Add optional props argument to `notmuch-show-get-header'. Use it to
get headers in `notmuch-show-insert-part-multipart/signed' and
`notmuch-show-insert-part-multipart/encrypted'.
The process-lines function calls the notmuch binary. The location of
the binary may have been customized by the user, so it is better to
use the customized location rather than allowing the process-lines
function to search the user's PATH for the binary.
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.
Add new customization option notmuch-saved-search-sort-function to sort
saved searches in user-defined order. Provide a sort function to sort the
saved searches in alphabetical order. Setting the search function to nil
causes the saved searches not to be sorted, as before. This also remains
the default. The function only affects display of the saved searches, not
the order in which they are stored by custom.

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.

It is very convenient when C-e (bound to `widget-end-of-line') ignores
trailing spaces inside the search widget. But it only does so if a
widget is not followed by a newline (that is why it works in the saved
search widgets). The patch just adds an invisible space after the
search widget to get the desirable behavior of `widget-end-of-line'.
The extra space is also added to expected results of emacs tests.
Buffer redisplay requires traversing the buffer's invisibility spec
for every part of the display that has an 'invisible text or overlay
property. Previously, the search buffer's invisibility spec list
contained roughly one entry for each search result. As a result,
redisplay took O(NM) time where N is the number of visible lines and M
is the total number of results. On a slow computer, this is enough to
make even buffer motion noticeably slow. Worse, during a search
operation, redisplay is triggered for each search result (even if
there are no visible buffer changes), so search was quadratic
(O(NM^2)) in the number of search results.
This change switches to using a single element buffer invisibility
spec. To un-hide authors, instead of removing an entry from the
invisibility spec, it simply removes the invisibility overlay from
those authors.
I tested using a query with 6633 results on a 9 year old machine.
Before this patch, Emacs took 70 seconds to fill the search buffer;
toward the end of the search, Emacs consumed 10-20x as much CPU as
notmuch; and moving point in the buffer took about a second. With
this patch, the same query takes 40 seconds, Emacs consumes ~3x the
CPU of notmuch by the end, and there's no noticeable lag to moving
point. (There's still some source of non-linearity, because Emacs and
notmuch consume roughly the same amount of CPU early in the search.)
Emacs 23.2 queries by default about killing existing processes. This
is annoying when one wants to interrupt long search with 'q' key.
Disable this behavior for notmuch.
`point-invisible-p' does not work correctly when `invisible'
property is a list. There are standard `invisible-p' and related
functions that should be used instead.
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.
This adds two callback functions to the sigstatus button. If the sig
status is "good", then clicking the button displays the output of "gpg
--list-keys" on the key fingerprint. If the sigstatus is "bad", then
clicking the button will retrieve the key from the keyserver, and
redisplay the current buffer.
Thanks to David Bremner <bremner@unb.ca> for help with this.
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.
Emacs lisp function 'member' takes element and list as an
argument. I.e. the second argument is list, not symbol
referencing the list.
On emacs 23.x the member call always returned nil (thus buggy),
on emacs 22.x the call failed, making it unusable.
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).
We call these "global_deps" for a reason, after all!
Without this, emacs compilation would proceed even if the configure script
failed, (such as for a missing dependency). That's undesirable as it can
cause the helpful error messages from the configure failure to scroll away.

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.
[1] http://www.gnu.org/s/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Overlay-Properties.html
Before the change, message and citation invisibility overlays
conflicted: if some citation is made visible and then the whole
message is hidden, that citation remained visible. This happened
because the citation's overlay has an invisible property which
takes priority over the message overlay. The message
invisibility spec does not affect citation visibility, it is
determined solely by the citation overlay invisibility spec.
Hence, if citation is made visible, it is not hidden by message
invisibility spec.
The patch changes citation overlay invisibility property to be a
list which contains both the citation and the message
invisibility specs. This makes the citation invisible if either
of them is added to the `buffer-invisibility-spec'. Note that
all citation visibility states are "restored" when the message
hidden and shown again.
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.
The emacs bug is that isearch cannot search through invisible text
when the 'invisible' property is a list.
The patch adds `notmuch-isearch-range-invisible' function which
is the same as `isearch-range-invisible' but with fixed Emacs bug
#8721. Advice added for `isearch-range-invisible' which calls
`notmuch-isearch-range-invisible' instead of the original
`isearch-range-invisible' when in `notmuch-show-mode'.
This code treats top posted copies essentially like signatures, except
that it doesn't sanity check their length, since neither do their
senders.

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.
Most of the time, every entry in the list of identities has the same user name
part. It can then be filled in automatically, and the user can only be prompted
for the email address, which makes the interface much cleaner.
For message-fetch-field the buffer is expected to be narrowed to
just the header of the message. That is not the case when
notmuch-fcc-header-setup is run, hence a wrong header value may be
returned. E.g. when forwarding an
email, (message-fetch-field "From") returns the From header value
of the forwarded email.
Message-field-value is the same as message-fetch-field, only
narrows the buffer to the headers first.

jrollins modified this patch to conform to recent changes in the
crypto processing since this patch was originally sent in.
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 a customization variable that controls what queries
are used to construct the all-tags section in notmuch-hello. It allows
the user to specify a function to construct the query given a tag or
a string that is used as a filter for each tag.
It also adds a variable to hide various tags from the all-tags section.

This adds functions and variables needed for this feature to be implemented.
Once it's done, the user will be able to use a prefix argument (e.g. pressing

By default the list of names/addresses to be used during completion will be
automatically generated by the settings in the notmuch configuration file. The
user can customize the notmuch-identities variable to provide an alternate list.
This is based on a previous patch by Carl Worth
(id:"87wrhfvk6a.fsf@yoom.home.cworth.org" and follow-ups).
Before the change, save-excursion was used to save the point. But the
marker saved by save-excursion was inside a region that was deleted,
so that approach is unreliable, (leading to point jumping to a new
position past the button). This patch instead saves point in an
integer variable, and when restoring, carefully avoids moving point
past the button, (in case the new button label is shorter than the old
button label).
Before the change, citation and signature wash buttons used the
same label in both visible and hidden states. Sometimes it is
very convenient when you can determine if the text is hidden or
shown without reading the context and/or clicking the button.
The patch makes it easy to see if the text is shown or hidden by
explicitly saying what the button does (shows or hides the text).
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.

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.
This avoids the emacs lisp compiler from emitting warnings on this
replacement code, (which warnings would be hard for us to eliminate
since we didn't write the code but copied it verbatim from emacs 23).
With the previous commit, unexpected output before or between search results
would be displayed. However, trailing junk from the "notmuch search" output
would still be silently swallowed.
The most common case for an error message from "notmuch search" would be
an invalid command-line, and in that case, there would be no search results
and the trailing error message would get swallowed.
We fix the process sentinel to check for leftover data and add it to the
final buffer. We also add a test case to ensure this works.
