notmuch-poll-script has long since been deprecated in favor of
post-new hooks, but this wasn't obvious from the documentation.
Update the documentation to make this clear. Since
notmuch-poll-script could, to some extend, be used to control the path
of the notmuch binary and that use is now clearly discouraged, promote
notmuch-command to a real defcustom instead of just a variable.
tree overrides notmuch-show-get-prop so that it can use many of the
utility function directly. Now that tree is in mainline the version
from tree can be moved to show and the original overridden show
version dropped.
This adds the current query as a "default value" to
notmuch-read-qeury. The default value is available via a down-arrow as
opposed to history which is available from the up arrow.
Note if a user presses return in the minibuffer this value is not
returned.
The implementation is simple but notmuch-read-query could be called
via notmuch-search/notmuch-tree etc from any buffer so it makes sense
to put the decision of how to extract the current query in
notmuch-read-query rather than in each of the callers.
notmuch-search-archive-thread moves to the next line after tagging. In
the normal case this makes sense, but if the region is active, it tags
the whole region and then it doesn't really. Thus only move to the
next line if region is not active.
Add a function for updating seen messages to the
post-command-hook. This function calls a customizable (by eg
defcustom) function with parameters the start and end of the current
window and that function can decide what to mark read based on that
and the current point.
Since this is in the post-command-hook it should get called after most
user actions (exceptions include user resizing the window) so it
should be possible to make sure the seen status gets updated whether
the user uses notmuch commands like next-message or normal emacs
commands like scroll-up.
It removes all of the old mark read/seen points but introduces a
simple example function that just marks the current message read if it
is open. This function has one small subtlety: it makes sure it
doesn't mark the same message read twice (in the same instance of the
same buffer); otherwise the post-command-hook makes it impossible for
a user to manually mark a message unread.
This fixes the current bugs (imo) that closed messages can be marked
read, and that opening a closed message does not mark it read.
Another advantage of using the post-command-hook any programmatic use
with point passing through a message will not mark it read.
When the user begins forwarding a message, the resulting composition
buffer should not be marked as modified, in order that it can
immediately be killed without prompting.
`make install-emacs` will copy $(emacs_sources), $(emacs_images) and
$(emacs_bytecode) to their target directories. $(emacs_bytecode) was
already a prerequisite of make install-emacs as these obviously needed
to be build. Until a while ago all of $(emacs_sources) was available
in the repository, but now it includes `notmuch-version.el` which
is generated. In the future we may have generated emacs images too.
Currently notmuch-tag throws a "wrong-type-argument stringp nil" if
passed a nil query-string. Catch this and provide a more useful error
message. This fixes a case in notmuch-tree (if you try to tag when at
the end of the buffer).
Secondly, as pointed out by David (dme)
`notmuch-search-find-stable-query-region' can return the query string
() if there are no messages in the region. This gets passed to notmuch
tag, and due to interactions in the optimize_query code in
notmuch-tag.c becomes, in the case tag-change is -inbox, "( () ) and
(tag:inbox)". This query matches some strange collection of messages
which then get archived. This should probably be fixed, but in any
case make `notmuch-search-find-stable-query-region' return a nil
query-string in this case.
This avoids data-loss (random tag removal) in this case.
The implementation and documentation for `notmuch-search-line-faces'
disagreed in how elements in the list were merged. Correct the
documentation to match the implementation (that is, the earlier
elements in the list have precedence over later elements).
Some archives may use a more complicated scheme for referring to
messages than just concatenated url and message-id. In particular,
patchwork requires a query to translate message-id to a patchwork
patch id. Allow functions in notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link-alist
to facilitate this.
For example, one could use something like this for patchwork.
(lambda (message-id)
(concat
"http://patchwork.example.com/patch/"
(nth 0
(split-string
(car (last (process-lines "pwclient" "search" "-n" "1"
"-m" (concat "<" message-id ">"))))))))
The recent changes for saved searches introduced a bug when notmuch
was loaded after the saved search was defined. This was caused by a
utility function not being defined when the defcustom was loaded.
Fix this by moving some code around: the defcustom is moved into
notmuch-hello (which is a more natural place anyway), and the utility
functions are moved before the defcustom in notmuch-hello. We are
rather constrained as the defcustom for saved searches is the first
variable in the notmuch-hello customize window; to avoid moving this
customize the defcustom needs to be the first defcustom in
notmuch-hello, and the utility functions come before that.
This patch also renames one of the utility functions from
notmuch--saved-searches-to-plist to
notmuch-hello--saved-searches-to-plist (as it is purely local to
notmuch-hello) and corrects a couple of typo/spelling mistakes pointed
out by Tomi.
Previously, even if debug-on-error was non-nil, the debugger would not
trap on part renderer errors. This made debugging part renderer bugs
frustrating, so let the debugger trap these errors.
My recent changes to the saved search format broke the alphabetically
sorted saved sort option. This makes it work again.
Also update docs for saved-search sort defcustom to match the new
format.
Finally, since the saved-search list is no longer an alist change the
names in the sort function to avoid confusion.
It was decided that auto-signing is potentially too troublesome for the
apparently common case of users who enable crypto processing for the
purpose of checking signature validity but who are not in a position to
sign out-going messages. Users can still manually invoke signing as needed.
Encrypting replies to encrypted messages is more of a security issue
so we leave it in place.
This is a simple approach to improving security when replying to
signed or encrypted messages. If the message being replied to was
signed, add mml tag to sign the reply. If the message being replied to
was encrypted, add mml tag to sign and encrypt the reply.
This may need configuration; I for one might want to encrypt replies
to encrypted messages, but not always sign replies to signed messages.
This still includes a slight bug: if any mml tags are added, they are
included in the region containing the quoted parts. Killing the region
will kill the mml tags too.
This adds a sort-order option to saved-searches, stores it in the
saved-search buttons (widgets), and uses the stored value when the
button is pressed.
Storing the sort-order in the widget was suggested by Jani in
id:4c3876274126985683e888641b29cf18142a5eb8.1391771337.git.jani@nikula.org.
Make the defcustom for notmuch-saved-searches use the new plist
format. It should still work with oldstyle saved-searches but will
write the newstyle form.
Add helper functions to for saved searches to ease the transition to
the new plist form while maintaining backwards compatibility. They
will be used in the next patch.
The notmuch cli program and emacs lisp versions may differ (especially
in remote usage). It helps to resolve problems if we can determine
the versions of notmuch cli and notmuch emacs mua separately.
The build process now creates notmuch-version.el from template file
by filling the version info to notmuch-emacs-version variable.
We push mark on reply so user can cut the quote. Push the mark before
signature, if any, instead of end of buffer so the signature is
preserved.
This is consistent with message-kill-to-signature.
So that users can easily organize their notmuch-specific configurations
to separate file and they don't have to have notmuch configurations in
*every* emacs installation they launch, especially if those need to
'(require notmuch) to make the configurations possible.
When (require 'notmuch) is added to ~/.emacs notmuch is loaded to every
instance of emacs although it may not be used in majority of
those instances.
When (autoload 'notmuch "notmuch" ...) is added to ~/.emacs notmuch
is loaded (only) when user invokes the notmuch function.
User may want to add other entrypoints to notmuch by adding more
autoloads -- the autoload instruction given should offer them clue how
to do so.
Previously, the term escaper used a blacklist of characters that
needed escaping. This blacklist turned out to be somewhat incomplete;
for example, it did not contain non-whitespace ASCII control
characters or Unicode "fancy quotes", both of which do require the
term to be escaped.
Switch to a whitelist of characters that are definitely safe to leave
unquoted. This fixes the broken test introduced by the previous
patch.
This uses the recent functionality to show the tag changes in the tree
buffer. Currently this is only used to show changes the tree buffer
makes itself: i.e., it does not make display any changes reflecting
tagging done by other notmuch-buffers.
This uses the recent functionality to show the tag changes in the
search buffer. Currently this is only used to show changes the search
buffer makes itself: i.e., it does not make display any changes
reflecting tagging done by other notmuch-buffers.
This allows (and requires) the original-tags to be passed along with
the current-tags to be passed to notmuch-tag-format-tags. This allows
the tag formatting to show added and deleted tags.By default a removed
tag is displayed with strike-through in red (if strike-through is not
available, eg on a terminal, inverse video is used instead) and an
added tag is displayed underlined in green.
If the caller does not wish to use the new feature it can pass
current-tags for both arguments and, at this point, we do exactly that
in the three callers of this function.
Note, we cannot tidily allow original-tags to be optional because we would
need to distinguish nil meaning "we are not specifying original-tags"
from nil meaning there were no original-tags (an empty list).
We use this in subsequent patches to make it clear when a message was
unread when you first loaded a show buffer (previously the unread tag
could be removed before a user realised that it had been unread).
The code adds into the existing tag formatting code. The user can
specify exactly how a tag should be displayed normally, when deleted,
or when added.
Since the formatting code matches regexps a user can match all deleted
tags with a ".*" in notmuch-tag-deleted-formats. For example setting
notmuch-tag-deleted-formats to '((".*" nil)) tells notmuch not to show
deleted tags at all.
All the variables are customizable; however, more complicated cases
like changing the face depending on the type of display will require
custom lisp.
Currently this overrides notmuch-tag-deleted-formats for the tests
setting it to '((".*" nil)) so that they get removed from the display
and, thus, all tests still pass.
Add customize options for deleted/added tag formats. These are not
used yet but will be later in the series.
We switch to using `notmuch-apply-face' rather than `propertize' in
the defcustom for faces so that the faces for deleted/added tags add
to the default face attributes for the tag.
We special case deleting the unread tag as that tag is a strong visual
cue and we don't need that cue when we are just saying it used to be
unread. Thus, we revert to the normal tag face with strikethough for
deleted unread tags.
We will re-use the customize option for format-tags for formattting
deleted tags to added tags in the next patch so split it into a
widget. There should be no functional change.
This modifies `notmuch-tag-format-tag' to treat the keys of
`notmuch-tag-formats' as (anchored) regexps, rather than literal
strings. This is clearly more flexible, as it allows for prefix
matching, defining a fallback format, etc. This may cause compatibility
problems if people have customized `notmuch-tag-formats' to match tags
that contain regexp specials, but this seems unlikely.
Regular expression matching has quite a performance hit over string
lookup, so this also introduces a simple cache from exact tags to
formatted strings. The number of unique tags is likely to be quite
small, so this cache should have a high hit rate. In addition to
eliminating the regexp lookup in the common case, this cache stores
fully formatted tags, eliminating the repeated evaluation of potentially
expensive, user-specified formatting code. This makes regexp lookup at
least as fast as assoc for unformatted tags (e.g., inbox) and *faster*
than the current code for formatted tags (e.g., unread):
inbox (usec) unread (usec)
assoc: 0.4 2.8
regexp: 3.2 7.2
regexp+caching: 0.4 0.4
(Though even at 7.2 usec, tag formatting is not our top bottleneck.)
This cache must be explicitly cleared to keep it coherent, so this adds
the appropriate clearing calls.
This combines our two face combining functions into one, easy to use
function with a much shorter name: `notmuch-apply-face'. This
function takes the full set of arguments that
`notmuch-combine-face-text-property' took, but takes them in a more
convenient order and provides smarter defaults that make the function
easy to use on both strings and buffers.
Currently notmuch-show-pipe-message runs the command in the working
directory of the *notmuch-pipe* buffer if it exists, and the current
buffer's working directory (which is inherited to the new
*notmuch-pipe* buffer) otherwise. This is all very surprising to the
user, and it's difficult to know or change where the command will be
run.
Always use the current show buffer's working directory for piping. The
user can check that with M-x pwd and change it with M-x cd. This is
consistent with notmuch-show-pipe-part.
`notmuch-mua-prompt-for-sender' is over-engineered and often wrong.
It attempts to detect when all identities have the same name and
specialize the prompt to just the email address part. However, to do
this it uses `mail-extract-address-components', which is meant for
displaying email addresses, not general-purpose parsing, and hence
performs many canonicalizations that can interfere with this use. For
example, configuring notmuch-identities to ("Austin
<austin@example.com>"), will cause `notmuch-mua-prompt-for-sender' to
lose the name part entirely and return " <austin@example.com>".
This patch rewrites `notmuch-mua-prompt-for-sender' to simply prompt
for a full identity when notmuch-identities is configured, or to
prompt for a sender address when it isn't.
The original code also did several strange things, like using `eval'
and specifying that this function was interactive. As a side-effect,
this patch fixes these problems. And it adds a docstring.
Since a newline starts a new query in batch mode, this causes
mysterious crashes in the emacs interface if saved searches contain
newlines. See the discussion at
id:87wqhcxb5j.fsf@maritornes.cs.unb.ca
In general newlines seem to be just whitespace to the xapian query
parser, so this should be mainly harmless.
When "notmuch config" is called with the name of an empty or
unconfigured setting, it prints nothing (not even a new line).
Previously, `notmuch-config-get' assumed it would always print a
newline. As a result, when `notmuch-config-get' was called with the
name of an empty of unconfigured setting, it would attempt to
(substring "" 0 -1) to strip the newline, which would fail with a
(args-out-of-range "" 0 -1) exception.
Fix this by only stripping the newline if there actually is one.
Previously, we used `message-forward' to build forwarded messages, but
this function is simply too high-level to be a good fit for some of
what we do.
First, since `message-forward' builds a full forward message buffer
given the message to forward, we have to duplicate much of the logic
in `notmuch-mua-mail' to patch the notmuch-y things into the built
buffer.
Second, `message-forward' constructs the From header from
user-full-name and user-mail-address. As a result, if we prompt the
user for an identity, we have to parse it into name and address
components, just to have it put back together by `message-forward'.
This process is not entirely loss-less because
`mail-extract-address-components' does a lot of canonicalization
(since it's intended for displaying addresses, not for parsing them).
To fix these problems, don't use `message-forward' at all.
`message-forward' itself is basically just a call to `message-mail'
and `message-forward-make-body'. Do this ourselves, but call
`notmuch-mua-mail' instead of `message-mail' so we can directly build
a notmuch-y message and control the From header.
This also fixes a bug that was a direct consequence of our use of
`mail-extract-address-components': if the user chose an identity that
had no name part (or the name part matched the mailbox), we would bind
user-full-name to nil, which would cause an exception in the bowels of
message-mode because user-full-name is expected to always be a string
(even if it's just "").
Previously, we updated .eldeps only if the file contents actually
needed to change. This was done to avoid unnecessary make restarts
(if the .eldeps rule changes the mtime of .eldeps, make has to restart
to collect the new dependencies). However, this meant that, after a
modification to any .el file that did not change dependencies, .eldeps
would always be out of date, so every make invocation would run the
.eldeps rule, which is both expensive because it starts up Emacs and
noisy. This was true even when there was nothing to do. E.g.,
$ make clean && make
...
$ touch emacs/notmuch-lib.el && make
...
$ make
Use "make V=1" to see the verbose compile lines.
EMACS emacs/.eldeps
make: Nothing to be done for `all'.
$ make
Use "make V=1" to see the verbose compile lines.
EMACS emacs/.eldeps
make: Nothing to be done for `all'.
Fix this by replacing .eldeps with two files with identical content.
One tracks the mtime of the dependency information and triggers the
Emacs call to rebuild dependencies only when it may be necessary. The
other tracks the content only; this rule over-triggers in the same way
the old rule did, but this rule is cheap and quiet.
Searching by Message-Id no longer works via the old mail-archive.com
API, though I have contacted them in hopes that they restore it to
prevent dead links. Anyway, the new API is cleaner.
