Add support for customization of the tag changes that are applied when
a message or a thread is archived. Instead of hard-coded removal of
the "inbox" tag, the user can now specify a list of tag changes to
perform.
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 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.
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.
Allow the user to pipe the attachment somewhere. Bound to '|' on the

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.
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].

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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'.
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).
The blank line doesn't really change position, but is now considered
to be part of the body rather than part of the headers. This means
that it is visible when the body is visible rather than when the
headers are visible.
This changes the default key bindings for the 'a' key in notmuch-show
mode. Instead of archiving the entire thread, it now just archives
the current message, and then advance to the next open message
(archive-message-then-next). 'A' is now bound to the previous
archive-thread-then-next function.
This will allow for keybindings that achieve a smoother message
processing flow by reducing the number of key presses needed for most
common operations.
This adds two new message archiving functions that parallel the thread
archiving functions: notmuch-show-archive-message{,-then-next}. The
former also takes a prefix argument to unarchive the message (ie. put
back in inbox).
This function is now just for archiving the current thread. A new
function is created to archive-then-next. The 'a' key binding is
updated accordingly.
This will allow people to bind to the simple thread archiving function
without the extra navigation. The archive-thread function now also
takes a prefix to unarchive the current thread (ie. put the whole
thread back in the inbox).
Break up notmuch-show-archive-thread-internal into two new functions:
notmuch-show-tag-thread-internal: applies a tag to all messages in
thread. If option remove flag is t, tags will be removed instead of
added.
notmuch-show-next-thread: moves to the next thread in the search
result. If given a prefix, will show the next result, otherwise will
just move to it in the search view.
Two new interactive functions, notmuch-show-{add,remove}-tag-thread,
are also added. Together, these provide a better suit of thread
tagging and navigation tools.
The higher level thread archiving functions are modified to use these
new function.
`mail-header-parse-address' expects un-decoded mailbox parts, which is
not what we have at this point. Replace it with simple string
deconstruction.
Mark the corresponding test as no longer broken.
Minor whitespace cleanup.
The `mm-inlinable-p' function works better if it has access to the
data of the relevant part, so load that content before calling it.
Don't load the content for parts that the user has indicated no desire

This fixes the display of attached image/jpeg parts, for example.
Define a keymap for attachment buttons to allow multiple actions.
Define 3 possible actions:
save attachment: exactly as currently,
view attachment: uses mailcap entry,
view attachment with user chosen program
Keymap on a button is: s for save, v for view and o for view with
other program. Default (i.e. enter or mouse button) is save but this
is configurable in notmuch customize.
One implementation detail: the view attachment function forces all
attachments to be "displayed" using mailcap even if emacs could
display them itself. Thus, for example, text/html appears in a browser
and text/plain asks whether to save (on a standard debian setup)
Add various functions to print notmuch messages and tie them together

one trailing space removed by db.
Enable the truncation of lines in `notmuch-show-mode' to avoid visual

Don't enable `visual-line-mode' because it disables line truncation.
The benefits of `visual-line-mode' were that it wrapped long lines
in received messages. With `notmuch-wash-wrap-long-lines' now default
behaviour, this is no longer required.
To allow for expansion whilst keeping everything tidy and organized,
move all defcustom/defface variables to the following subgroups,

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.
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.
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'.
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.
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.

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.
The insert-part-message/rfc822 function is overhauled to properly

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).

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, 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.
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.
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 hooks that are run before/after messages are tagged
From the emacs interface. In order to implement this and to avoid

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.
Previously, the user didn't know whether the pipe command succeeded or
not. It was only possible to find it out by manually inspecting
the work done (or not done) by the command or by manually switching to
*notmuch-pipe* buffer and determine it from command output. For this
the user had to first find the text corresponding to the last run of
pipe command as the buffer accumulated the output from all pipe commands.
This patch changes the following. The *notmuch-pipe* buffer is erased
before every pipe command so it contains only the output from the last
command. Additionally, when the command failed, the *notmuch-pipe* buffer
is shown and an error message is displayed.
with the output of pipe command.
Explained-by: Carl Worth: This gives convenient keybindings for
navigating the file and for quitting from the buffer, (since, with a
raw message file the user will generally want to just view the
message, not edit it).
Here we move the notmuch-show/notmuch-show-do-stash function to
notmuch-lib/notmuch-common-do-stash. Nothing in this function is
notmuch-show mode specific, so this move will make it cleaner to be
used by other modes (such as notmuch-search).
Remove 're: ' or 'Re: ' from anywhere within a subject line rather
than just at the beginning. This is to accommodate threads where a
mailing list sometimes inserts a subject prefix.
For example, if a thread has the subjects:
[Orgmode] org-indent, org-inlinetask: patches on github
Re: [Orgmode] org-indent, org-inlinetask: patches on github
[Orgmode] Re: org-indent, org-inlinetask: patches on github
the last of these would not have been considered the same and would
therefore have been shown.
kill-this-buffer appears to be a function intended specifically for
use in the menu bar, and causes problem killing notmuch buffers when
multiple frames have been used. This patch replaces kill-this-buffer
with notmuch-kill-this-buffer, which in turn just simply calls
(kill-buffer (current-buffer)).
This is part of an effort to avoid proliferation of excessive
top-level notmuch commands. Also, "raw" better captures the
functionality here, (as opposed to "cat" which is a fairly oblique
reference to a bad Unix abbreviation whose metaphor doesn't work here
since "notmuch cat" operates only on a single message and hence cannot
"con'cat'enate" anything).
This patch modifies the following commands to access the messages via
cat subcommand:
- view/save attachments ('v', 'w'),
- view a raw message ('V') and
- pipe a message to a command ('|').
With this patch, it is straightforward to use notmuch emacs interface
with a remote database accessed over SSH. To do this, it is sufficient
to redefine notmuch-command variable to contain the name of a script
containing:
ssh user@host notmuch "$@"
If the ssh client has enabled connection sharing (ControlMaster option
in OpenSSH), the emacs interface is almost as responsive as when
notmuch is invoked locally.
Remove them from non-top-level entry points, (such as the functions to
set notmuch modes and the deprecated notmuch-folder function). And add
one to the notmuch-hello function. Also, add missing documentation
string to notmuch-hello.
I don't see copy-seq documented within emacs at all, and some users
have encountered failures of the form:
notmuch-show-del-tags-worker: Symbol's function definition is void: copy-seq
This should eliminate that problem.
The GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual section D.1 says:

Follow this advice, requiring the following changes where `cl' was
used at runtime:
- replace `rassoc-if' in `notmuch-search-buffer-title' with the `loop'
macro and inline code. At the same time find the longest prefix
which matches the query rather than simply the last,
- replace `union', `intersection' and `set-difference' in
`notmuch-show-add-tag' and `notmuch-show-remove-tag' with local code
to calculate the result of adding and removing a list of tags from
another list of tags.
If Xapian sees unquoted ".." as in id:123..456 then it thinks that's a
range specification. We avoid this problem by instead passing
id:"123..456" to Xapian.
We extend the '|' command so that passing a prefix argument, (for
example, "C-u |"), causes it to pipe all open messages in the current
thread rather than just the single, current message.
This was previously wrapped for unsubtituted command names. It looks
much better in the notmuch-help (available with '?') if wrapped
according to the length of the substituted command names.
Add `notmuch-show-relative-dates' to control whether the summary line
in `notmuch-show' mode displays relative dates (e.g. '26 mins. ago') or
the full date string from the message. Default to `t' for
compatibility with the previous behaviour.
Shift-TAB is standard "opposite" of TAB -- in GUI interfaces they
typically cycle through input elements in opposite orders -- so it
makes sense to behave the same way.

Detect inline patches and convert them to fake attachments, in order
that `diff-mode' highlighting can be applied to the patch. This can be
enabled by customising `notmuch-show-insert-text/plain-hook'.
When determining whether or not to re-align the head of the current
message with the top of the window, use `count-screen-lines' rather
than `count-lines' to allow for invisible text in the preceding
message. When comparing that number of lines against
`next-screen-context-lines', realign if the number of lines of the
previous message visible is 'smaller than or equal to' rather than
just 'smaller than' to improve usability.
Add:
- notmuch-wash-wrap-long-lines: Wrap lines longer than the width of
the current window whilst maintaining any citation prefix.
- notmuch-wash-tidy-citations: Tidy up citations by:
- compress repeated otherwise blank citation lines,
- remove otherwise blank citation lines at the head and tail of a
citation,
- notmuch-wash-elide-blank-lines: Compress repeated blank lines and
remove leading and trailing blank lines.
None of these is enabled by default - add them to
`notmuch-show-insert-text/plain-hook' to use.
Reviewed-by: Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org>: I previously committed a
stale version of this patch.
Set `buffer-invisibility-spec' to `nil' (a list) if it is just `t'
before inserting any body parts, otherwise removing items from
`buffer-invisibility-spec' (which is what
`notmuch-show-headers-visible' and `notmuch-show-message-visible' do)
is a no-op and has no effect. This caused threads with only matching
messages to have those messages hidden initially because
`buffer-invisibility-spec' stayed `t'.
Add:
- notmuch-wash-wrap-long-lines: Wrap lines longer than the width of
the current window whilst maintaining any citation prefix.
- notmuch-wash-tidy-citations: Tidy up citations by:
- compress repeated otherwise blank citation lines,
- remove otherwise blank citation lines at the head and tail of a
citation and remove blank lines between attribution statements and
the citation,
- notmuch-wash-compress-blanks: Compress repeated blank lines and
remove leading and trailing blank lines.
Enable `notmuch-wash-tidy-citations' and
`notmuch-wash-compress-blanks' by default by adding them to
`notmuch-show-insert-text/plain-hook'. `notmuch-wash-wrap-long-lines'
is not enabled by default.
If `notmuch-wash-wrap-long-lines' is enabled, word wrapping of the
buffer leads to an unappealing display of text, so provide a function
to disable it and add it to the list of `notmuch-show-mode' hook
functions.
And similarly for notmuch-show-headers-visible to
notmuch-message-headers-visible.
I've never liked notmuch-show as a namespace prefix, but it looks
especially bad when it appears as "Notmuch Show Headers Visible" in
the customize buffer. Give nicer names to these variables which are
exported for user manipulation.
The function was named and documented incorrectly before, saying that
it would "change the visibility of all messages". Instead it only
opens the messages that are closed---it doesn't simultanesously close
the messages that are open. (Granted, nobody would *want* that
behavior I don't think, but the naming was confusing before.)
`notmuch-show-toggle-all' changes the visibility all of the messages
in the current thread. By default it makes all of the messages
visible. With a prefix argument, it makes them all not visible.
Commit 44982ab332 added some extra
quoting when constructing a search. A previous version of this patch
had used single-quotation marks (') while this version used
double-quotation marks (").
The intent of the extra quoting was to allow notmuch-command to be set
to a script invoking ssh.
What actually happens, however is that the extra quotation marks make
it all the way into the query string seen by Xapian. And the double
quotes trigger phrase searching, (which isn't desired here). The
side-effect of that is that the emacs code would fallback to an
unqalified query and display all threads with all messages open.
We fix that side-effect now by using single-quote characters, but
we'll want a better fix in the future to avoid Xapian seeing these
characters at all I think.
Sebastian pointed out that the pre-JSON UI would move the cursor to
the end of the buffer if `n' or `N' is hit when on the last (unread)
message. Mimic that behaviour in the new UI.
Use the mailcap functionality to guess a MIME type for attachments of
type application/octet-stream and, presuming successful, feed the
attachment back into the display code with the determine type.
This is mostly useless at the moment, as the JSON output from notmuch
does not include the content of application/octet-stream parts, so
they cannot be displayed even if the guess is a good one.
If a text/plain part is not the first part in a message, add a label
in order that a user can see that multiple parts are present.
If a part has a 'filename' attribute, include it in any label
describing the part.
In the recent switch to a JSON-based emacs interface, RET now toggles
message visibility anywhere in the message, (rather than only on the
summary line). So we no longer need this separate "b" binding for this.
Additionally, the body toggle was implemented independently from RET,
so after hiding a message with "b" one could not make it visible with
RET. This confusing state is now no longer possible, (since the
:body-visible property is removed entirely).
Put single-quotes around the argument of the `show --entire-thread' command
in notmuch-show. This change should have no effect on normal usage.
However, it allows us to use the notmuch.el client with a remote notmuch
binary and database over ssh (by, e.g., setting `notmuch-command' to a
simple shell script). Without the quotes, ssh will not send the command
properly.
One very simple example script is as follows. (Note that it requires
keypair login to the ssh server.)
#!/bin/sh
SSH_BIN="/path/to/local/ssh"
NOTMUCH_HOST="my.remote.server"
NOTMUCH_REMOTE_PATH="/path/to/remote/notmuch"
$SSH_BIN $NOTMUCH_HOST $NOTMUCH_REMOTE_PATH $@
As put forth in the commit that enabled this functionality, the last
few lines of a citation are often much more important. In that case,
let's actually do the useful thing by default.
In many conversations the last few lines of a citation are more
interesting than the first few lines, hence allow those to be shown if
desired.

Change the buffer name to a uniquified subject of the thread (i.e. the
subject of the first message in the thread) instead of the thread-id. This
is more meaningful to the user, and will make it easier to scroll through
numerous open buffers.
Note that this patch adds an optional `buffer-name' argument to notmuch
show.

To ease the transition to a JSON based implementation of
`notmuch-show', move the current implementation into a separate file.
Create `notmuch-lib.el' to hold common variables.
