07876ac135 emacs: Fix refresh of search results to leave cursor on current thread.
This has been broken since the addition of support for streaming
search results to the emacs interface. With the old apparoach it was
easy to simply wait for all search results to land in the buffer and
then search for the desired line. With streaming results, we have to
save the target off to the side and allow the process filter and
sentinel functions to correctly respond when the target thread
appears.

2303d9366e notmuch show: Don't show empty headers.
This is a fairly old regression. There has always been code to avoid
printing empty headers (such as Cc or Bcc with no values), but it has
been broken since notmuch_message_get_header was changed to return
an empty string rather than a NULL pointer for these fields.

a7f03d9f7c TODO: Remove many items that have been completed recently.
There's been a lot of good work done, and we've been doing a generally

already on our TODO list.

So here's a careful scan, removing all items I could find that have

f99b46c607 emacs: Don't open unread messages by default.
When searching for an individual message, (by message id, say), it's
really annoying to have the entire thread open just because the thread
was archived without ever having been read.

This means that the "unread" tag is a lot less special, and it really
just exists as a mild cue for the user.

3474263823 emacs: Avoid removing the unread tag due to internal navigation
Sometimes the internals of the implementation navigate among messages,
(as opposed to the user explicitly requesting the next message to be
shown). In these cases we don't want to remove the unread tag from the
message navigated to.

This fixes a bug where invocation of notmuch-show-next-unread-message
would clear the unread tag from all messages in a thread.

4b9d2e3a4d Simplify "unread" tag handling in emacs UI.
This patch is intended to greatly simplify the handling of the
"unread" tag in the emacs UI.  This patch adds a new function
'notmuch-show-mark-read', that removes the "unread" tag in
notmuch-show-mode.  This function is then executed as a
notmuch-show-hook, and by notmuch-show-next-message.  All of the
functions that explicitly marked messages as unread are removed or
renamed.

The idea here is that the user should never have to worry about
manipulating the "unread" tag.  The tag should persist until the user
actually views a message, at which point it should be automatically
removed.  This patch simplifies the notmuch.el quite a bit, removing a
lot of somewhat redundant functions, and reducing clutter in the name
and key-mapping space.

5171831813 notmuch search: Use "thread" rather than "id" when formatting with JSON
The text output uses thread:<foo>, (which is a syntax directly supported
by "notmuch show"), so make the json output be "thread", "<foo>" rather
than "id", "<foo>". This should help avoid confusion of thread IDs with
message IDs, (which do use the "id" prefix in searches).

6ce2bf68f5 Add an "--format=(json|text)" command-line option to both notmuch-search and notmuch-show.
In the case of notmuch-show, "--format=json" also implies
"--entire-thread" as the thread structure is implicit in the emitted
document tree.

As a coincidence to the implementation, multipart message ID numbers are
now incremented with each part printed. This changes the previous
semantics, which were unclear and not necessary related to the actual
ordering of the message parts.

3910000fe8 notmuch.el: Emphasize the 'i' of 'ID' in the documentation for 'c i'.
We're using 'i' in the keybinding, so it helps to have a capital

4e76865c0d Change the stash keybinding from 'z' to 'c'. And use 'i' for message ID.
In spite of being implemented with the word "stash" in the function
names, the documentation (and hence help strings) for each function
already use the word "Copy" to describe the action. So 'c' is a much
more natural key-binding, (particularly since 'z' didn't map to any
real word anyway).

We also use 'i' for the message ID copying of the submap. This is
intended to align mnemonically with the "id:" prefix already used
for message IDs.

usage of map-keymap is a bit obscure: it only has side-effects, no

e6c6bf3250 notmuch-show-get-header: new function; return alist of parsed header fields.
This function parses the displayed message to recover header

notmuch-show-message-begin-regexp, notmuch-show-header-begin-regexp,
and notmuch-show-message-end-regexp.

7e3b416153 notmuch.el: Fix bug from message with ':' in the From address.
Eric reported that a particular thread was non-functional in the
notmuch-search mode in the emacs client. It was easy enough to trace
the bug down to a broken regular expression (using ':' instead of
';'). The bug would be triggered by a message with ':' in the
From address.

This is something I hope to add to the test suite as soon as we have
support for testing the emacs interface there.

2174adf374 notmuch.el: Handle attached images via an external viewer.
We temporarily override the mm-inline-media-tests variable so that the
only parts inserted into the temporary buffer (and lost) are those
parts that the user has already seen in the notmuch-show buffer.

Anything else, (such as images), will now be left to be handled via
mailcap, just like other attachment types.

ca16b2225d notmuch.el: Avoid infinite loop marking up message with no parts.
The infinite loop was triggered by a message consisting of a single
attachment within the body, (and no "part") tags.

We need to do things in response to this bug (beyond this specific
fix):

1. Create a test suite that exercises our emacs frontend so that bugs
   like this do not come back to haunt us after we fix them once.

2. Switch from our ad-hoc regexp based search of message-part delimeters
   to known-good code for parsing a structured document, (for example,
   the outstanding JSON patches).

9439b217c3 Switch from random to sequential thread identifiers.
The sequential identifiers have the advantage of being guaranteed to
be unique (until we overflow a 64-bit unsigned integer), and also take
up half as much space in the "notmuch search" output (16 columns
rather than 32).

This change also has the side effect of fixing a bug where notmuch
could block on /dev/random at startup (waiting for some entropy to
appear). This bug was hit hard by the test suite, (which could easily
exhaust the available entropy on common systems---resulting in large
delays of the test suite).

It's a simple optimization to look at a message and check that the
