Rather than blocking emacs while gpg does its' thing, by default run
key retrieval asynchronously, possibly updating the display of the
message on successful completion.
When we have not been able to evaluate the signature status of a given
MIME part, showing a content-free (and interaction-free) "[ Unknown
signature status ]" button doesn't really help the user at all, and
takes up valuable screen real-estate.
A visual reminder that a given message is *not* signed isn't helpful
unless it is always present, in which case we'd want to see "[ Unknown
signature status ]" buttons on all messages, even ones that don't have
a signing structure, but i don't think we want that.
Amended by db to drop the unused initialization of 'label'
When invoking gpg as a backgrounded tool, it's important to let gpg
know that it is backgrounded, to avoid spurious prompts or other
breakage.
In particular, https://bugs.debian.org/913614 was a regression in
GnuPG which causes problems when importing keys without a terminal,
but gpg expects one.
Ensuring that notmuch-emacs always invokes gpg as a background process
should avoid some of these unnecessary failure.
Thanks to Justus Winter for finding this problem.

There are some cases like remote usage where this might cause
problems, but those users can easily customize the variable. The
inconvenience seems to be outweighed by the security benefit for most
users.
Adjusted notmuch-crypto gpg call-process function to respect
the GPG program set by the EasyPG epg-gpg-program variable.
This is to correct a problem observed on NixOS where only gpg2 is
installed by default. The Notmuch Emacs frontend fails when trying to
access someone's key to verify their signature when it cannot find the
GPG binary.
The notmuch-tag-flagged, notmuch-search-flagged-face and
notmuch-crypto-part-header faces defaulted to "blue", which is nearly
unreadable when a dark background is in use. This is addressed by using
"LightBlue1" for dark backgrounds.
As a side effect, these faces are now no-op definitions for grayscale or
mono displays.
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.
Emacs has two button type objects: widgets (as used for saved searches
in notmuch-hello) and buttons as used by parts/citations and id links
in notmuch-show. These two behave subtly differently when clicked with
the mouse: widgets select the window clicked before running the
action, buttons do not.
This patch makes all of these behave the same: clicking always selects
the clicked window. It does this by defining a notmuch-button-type
supertype that the other notmuch buttons can inherit from. This
supertype binds the mouse-action to select the window and then
activate the button.
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).
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.
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.
To allow for expansion whilst keeping everything tidy and organized,
move all defcustom/defface variables to the following subgroups,
defined in notmuch-lib.el:
- Hello
- Search
- Show
- Send
- Crypto
- Hooks
- External Commands
- Appearance
As an added benefit, defcustom keyword args are now consistently
ordered as they appear @ defcustom's docstring (OCD much?).

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.
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.

jrollins modified this patch to conform to recent changes in the
crypto processing since this patch was originally sent in.
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.
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.
