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.

Previously tree did not use tag-format-tags: since tree wants to
distinguish matching messages from non-matching messages it is not a
perfect fit.
However, in preparation for allowing tag-changes to be shown (i.e.,
added or deleted tags to be indicated) it is convenient to make all
places displaying tags call the same routines.
We modify notmuch-tag-format-tags slightly so that it can take and
argument for the default characteristics of the face before the
special tag features are applied.
This also means that things like the star symbol for flagged messages
all work in tree.
This adds default faces for matching and non-matching messages. This
makes it easier for a user to do broad customization without having to
customize every field. It also fits more neatly with the next patch
which switches to using notmuch-tag-format-tags for tag formatting.
We set the field specific face customization to nil for all the fields
which use the message default face to make it clear to a user which
fields customizations are being used.
Previously the tags on each line in tree view were separarted by ", "
not just " ". This is different from show and search views.
This patch removes this comma. This is a large patch as essentially
every line of each of the expected outputs in the tree tests needs
updating.
Apart from aesthetic reasons this simplifies the switch to
notmuch-tag-format-tags in the next patch.
If we don't have emacs, disable targets that used EMACS while doing
the recipes of that target.
If we do have emacs, make install-emacs depend on *.elc files,
as making the target will attempt to install those.
Previously notmuch-tree-get-message-id always returned the id
including the prefix "id:". Modify the function to take an optional
`bare' argument saying to return the raw string.
This will be useful later and brings the function in line with
notmuch-show-get-message-id.
In emacs 24.3+ the stdout/stderr from externally displaying an
attachment gets inserted into the show buffer. This is caused by
changes in mm-display-external in mm-decode.el.
Ideally, we would put this output in the notmuch errors buffer but the
handler is called asynchronously so we don't know when the output will
appear. Thus if we put it straight into the errors buffer it could get
interleaved with other errors. Also we can't easily tell when we
have got all the error output so can't wait until the process is complete.
One solution would be to create a new buffer for the stderr of each
attachment viewed. Again, since we can't tell when the process has
finished, we can't close these buffers automatically so this will
leave lots of buffers around.
Thus we add a debug variable notmuch-show-attachment-debug: it this is
non-nil we create a new buffer for each viewer; if this variable is
nil we just use a temp buffer which means all error output is
discarded (this is the same behaviour as with emacs pre 24.3).
In current emacs (24.3) select-active-regions is set to t by
default. The reply insertion code sets the region to the quoted
message to make it easy to delete (kill-region or C-w). These two
things combine to put the quoted message in the primary selection.
This is not what the user wanted and is a privacy risk (accidental
pasting of the quoted message). We can avoid some of the problems
by let-binding select-active-regions to nil. This fixes if the
primary selection was previously in a non-emacs window but not if
it was in an emacs window. To avoid the problem in the latter case
we deactivate mark.
One key test (which fails under many simpler "fixes") is: open emacs
24.3 with notmuch, open 2 windows (viewing different notmuch buffers),
highlight some text in one, and then reply to a message in the
other. In many of my earlier attempts to fix this big this test fails.
Following a suggestion by Austin in id:20130915153642.GY1426@mit.edu
we use remap for the over-riding bindings in pick. This means that if
the user modifies the global keymap these modifications will happen in
the tree-view versions of them too.
[tree-view overrides these to do things like close the message pane
before doing the action, so the functionality is very close to the
original common keymap function.]
remaps are a rather unusual keymap consisting of "first key" 'remap
and then "second-key" the remapped-function. Thus we do the
documentation for it separately.
To support key remapping in emacs help we need to know the base keymap
when looking at the remapping. keep track of this while we recurse
down the sub-keymaps in help.
The actual documentation function notmuch-describe-keymap was getting
rather complicated so split out the code for a single key into its own
function notmuch-describe-key.
If the user (or a mode) overrides a keybinding from the common keymap
in one of the modes then both help lines appear in the help screen
even though only one of them is applicable.
Fix this by checking if we already have that key binding. We do this
by constructing an list of (key . docstring) pairs so it is easy to
check if we have already had that binding. Then the actual print help
routine changes these pairs into strings "key \t docstring"
The routines that construct the help page in notmuch-lib rely on
match-data being preserved across some fairly complicated code. This
is currently valid but will not be when this series is finished. Thus
place everything between the string-match and replace-match inside a
save-match-data.
A standard way to unset a key binding is local-unset-key which is equivalent to
(define-key (current-local-map) key nil)
Currently notmuch-help gives an error and fails if a user has done this.
To fix this we only add a help line if the binding is non-nil.
The functions referred to in the documentation for this variable were
replaced by the unified `notmuch-poll-and-refresh-this-buffer' in
21474f0e. Update the documentation to reflect the new function.
This fixes races in thread-local and global tagging in notmuch-search
(e.g., "+", "-", "a", "*", etc.). Previously, these would modify tags
of new messages that arrived after the search. Now they only operate
on the messages that were in the threads when the search was
performed. This prevents surprises like archiving messages that
arrived in a thread after the search results were shown.
This eliminates `notmuch-search-find-thread-id-region(-search)'
because these functions strongly encouraged racy usage.
This fixes the two broken tests added by the previous patch.
(Unfortunately, it's difficult to first demonstrate this problem with
a known-broken test because modern Linux kernels have argument length
limits in the megabytes, which makes Emacs really slow!)
This adds support for passing a string to write to notmuch's stdin to
`notmuch-call-notmuch-process' and `notmuch-call-notmuch-sexp'. Since
this makes both interfaces a little more complicated, it also unifies
their documentation better.
Previously, this was in notmuch.el, but all of the other notmuch call
wrappers were in notmuch-lib.el. Move `notmuch-call-notmuch-process'
to live with its friends. This happens to fix a missing dependency
from notmuch-tag.el, which required notmuch-lib, but not notmuch.
We want to load notmuch-tree when notmuch is loaded, so include it as
a require in notmuch.el. To avoid circular dependency we need to move
one keybinding from notmuch-tree.el to notmuch.el: it makes sense for
it to be defined there anyway.
Since tree is now loaded by default there is no need to print a
message when it is loaded.
notmuch-help is in notmuch.el not notmuch-lib.el and this is
incovenient for the way pick/tree uses it. I think lib makes more
sense anyway so move it there.
Previously, when a user fully completed a tag operation, they had to
press space to begin entering another tag operation. This is
different from, say, shell file name completion, which typically
inserts a space after an unambiguous completion under the assumption
that the user will want to enter more input.
This patch tweaks `notmuch-read-tag-changes' to act more like shell
file name completion: after an unambiguous tag completion, it now
inserts a space, ready and waiting for another tagging operation from
the user. This is backwards-compatible with old habits, since there's
no harm in putting an extra space.
Authors and subjects can contain embedded, encoded control characters
like "\n" and "\t" that mess up display. Transform control characters
into spaces everywhere we display them in search and show.
We no longer use this, since we've lifted all interactive behavior to
the appropriate interactive entry points. Because of this,
`notmuch-tag' also no longer needs to return the tag changes list,
since the caller always passes it in.
This is similar to the previous commit, but applies to search.
Search is somewhat more complicated because its tagging operations can
also apply to a region. Hence, this lifts interactive prompting into
a helper function. This also takes advantage of the new ability to
provide a prompt to distinguish tagging a single thread from tagging a
region of threads.
This modifies all tagging operations in show to call
`notmuch-read-tag-changes' in their interactive specification to input
tag changes, rather than depending on lower-level functions to prompt
for tag changes regardless of their calling context.
Besides being more Elispy and providing a more consistent programmatic
API, this enables callers to provide two call site-specific pieces of
information: an appropriate prompt, and the set of visible tags. The
prompt lets us differentiate * from +/-. Providing visible tags
enables a more consistent user experience than retrieving the
(potentially different) tags from the database, and avoids a
round-trip to the CLI and database.
This modifies the interface of `notmuch-read-tag-changes' to take an
optional prompt string as well as a list of existing tags instead of a
query. This list of tags is used to populate the tag removal
completions and lets the caller compute these in a more
efficient/consistent manner than performing a potentially large or
complex query. This patch also updates the sole current caller of
`notmuch-read-tag-changes'.
The calling convention for `notmuch-tag' changed in commit 97aa3c06 to
take a list of tag changes instead of a &rest argument, but the call
from `notmuch-search-tag-all' still passed a &rest argument. This
happened to work for interactive calls because tag-changes would be
nil, so the `apply' call would pass only the query string to
`notmuch-tag' and simply omit the &optional tag-changes argument.
Currently notmuch-show looks at the prefix-arg directly via
current-prefix-arg. This changes it to use the interactive
specification.
One test (for elide-toggle functionality) set the prefix arg
directly. Update this test to set the new argument directly.
Change foreground color to `blue' like lines representing threads
with flagged messages in notmuch-search. Before tag `flagged' was
shown in notmuch-show buffers as image star on graphical frames while
there was no visible distinction to other flags on terminal frames.
This improves the function documentation for many interactive
commands, either by improving their documentation string where the
improvement also makes sense for programmatic use or by adding a
'notmuch-doc property where it doesn't.
For nearly all commands that support a prefix argument, this adds a
'notmuch-prefix-doc property to document their prefixed behavior This
omits prefix documentation for a few commands where I thought the
prefixed behavior was too obscure (or too complex to fit in one line).
Traditionally, function documentation strings are intended primarily
for programmers, rather than users. They're written from the
perspective of calling the function, not interactively invoking it.
They're only ever displayed along with the function prototype (and
often refer to argument names). And built-in help commands like
`describe-bindings' show the name of the command, not its
documentation.
The notmuch help system is like `describe-bindings', but tries to be
more user-friendly by displaying documentation strings, rather than
Elisp command names. For most commands, this is fine, but for some
the "programmer description" is inappropriate for interactive use.
This is particularly noticeable for commands that take an optional
prefix argument.
This patch adds support for two symbol properties: notmuch-doc and
notmuch-prefix-doc, which let a command override its interactive
documentation and provide separate documentation for its prefixed
invocation. If notmuch-prefix-doc is present, we add an extra line to
the help giving the prefixed key sequence along with the documentation
for the prefixed command.
Like `notmuch-mua-new-forward-message', this is meant to be invoked
programmatically by something that can provide a reasonable query
string.
In fact, `notmuch-mua-new-reply's interactive specification didn't
match its arguments, so it wouldn't have worked interactively.
`notmuch-mua-new-forward-message' must be called from a buffer
containing a raw RFC2822-formatted message to forward. Hence, it's
intended to be invoked programmatically through something else that
sets up this buffer (like `notmuch-show-forward-message'), not
interactively.
Remove its interactive specification and update the documentation
string to mention the requirements on the current buffer.
In the recent changes for search order handling the default-value of
notmuch-search-oldest-first was used. However, default-value needs a
symbol so the symbol-name needs to be quoted.
This missing quote was causing strange sort-orders in some cases.
The only user-visible effect of this should be that "G" now works in
show mode (previously it was unbound for no apparent reason).
This shared keymap gives us one place to put global commands, which
both forces us to think about what commands should be global, and
ensures their bindings can't diverge (like the missing "G" in show).
This converts notmuch-help to use map-keymap for all keymap traversal.
This generally cleans up and simplifies construction of keymap
documentation, and also makes notmuch-help support anything that can
be in a keymap, including more esoteric stuff like multiple
inheritance.
This unifies the various refresh and poll-and-refresh functions we
have for different modes. Now all modes bind "=" and "G" (except
show, which doesn't bind "G" for some reason) to
`notmuch-refresh-this-buffer' and
`notmuch-poll-and-refresh-this-buffer', respectively.
Since notmuch-hello doesn't need this any more, we can remove this
hack. This also eliminates `notmuch-search-quit', so now all modes
bind "q" to `notmuch-kill-this-buffer'.
Since there is now no difference between notmuch-hello-search and
notmuch-search when called interactively, bind "s" to notmuch-search
in notmuch-hello-mode-map. Now all modes bind "s" this way.
Previously, we refreshed hello when the user quit a search that was
started from hello. This is fine assuming purely stack-oriented
buffer use, but is quite fragile and requires hacks to search.
This replaces that logic with a new approach that refreshes hello
whenever the user switches to the hello buffer, regardless of how this
happens.
Previously, if `notmuch-search' was called interactively (bound to "s"
in search and show, but not hello), it would always use newest-first.
However, `notmuch-hello-search' (bound to "s" in hello) and
`notmuch-hello-widget-search` would call it with the user-configured
sort order. This inconsistency seems unintentional, so change
`notmuch-search' to use the user-configured sort order when called
interactively.
When text/html parts include images as multipart/related and the
text/plain alternative is used these images can be completely hidden
with no easy way to access them or even find out that they are there.
Make notmuch-show-insert-part-multipart/related add buttons for all
parts, the first one visible the rest hidden.
The lazy part handler had a bug that it allowed the button to be
toggled to be specified. During toggling it needs to save and restore
the text-properties for the button but it actually saved the text
properties at point rather than from the button.
In almost all cases this didn't matter as as point had the same text
properties as the button. However, it is a bug and did cause incorrect
behaviour in some cases: see id:87txhz14z6.fsf@qmul.ac.uk for details.
When composing a reply, notmuch-mua-reply attempts to cite the
the original message by inserting it before the user signature, if
one is present. The existing method used to search the signature
separator backward from the end of the buffer and then move one
line up. In case of variable `message-signature-insert-empty-line'
being nil this caused point to go to the beginning of
'--text follows this line--'
separator line, and citation was inserted there.
This change checks the value of `message-signature-insert-empty-line'
and doesn't move point if that is nil. Additional narrowing to
the body region ensures that point never goes to the separator line
(or beyond).
`message-signature-setup-hook' or `message-setup-hook' may already have
added some other content to the message body, therefore using simply
(message-goto-body) to move point to the beginning of body might lead
to unexpected results.
Original patch from "Geoffrey H. Ferrari", continued with iterations
from Jani and Mark.
In reply, insert quotable parts using notmuch-show-insert-bodypart
instead of calling notmuch-mm-display-part-inline directly to render
the quoted parts as they are rendered in show view.
We use a temp buffer to not leak text properties from the show
renderer into the reply. This way we also don't need to worry about
narrowing or point placement. Credits to Mark Walters
<markwalters1009@gmail.com> and Austin Clements <amdragon@MIT.EDU> for
getting this part straight.
The notable change is that replies to text/calendar parts quote the
pretty printed output of icalendar-import-buffer rather than the ugly
raw vcalendar.
notmuch-show.el and notmuch.el had 3 duplicate, identical functions:
notmuch-foreach-mime-part, notmuch-count-attachments and
notmuch-save-attachments. Now these functions in notmuch-show.el
are replaced with declare-functions pointing to "notmuch"(.el).
Notmuch puts attachments in as declared content-type except when the
content-type is application/octet-stream it tries to guess the type
from the filename/extension. This means that viewing a pdf (for
example) which is sent as application/octet-strem invokes the pdf
viewer rather than just offering to save the part.
Recent changes to the attachment handling (commit 1546387d) changed
(broke) this. This patch stores the calculated mime-type with the part
and changes the attachment part handlers can use it instead.
Recently notmuch-hello was converted to use batch count. However, it
seems that several people run different versions of notmuch-emacs and
notmuch-cli so this batch makes emacs fail with an error message if
--batch is not available in the CLI.
Amended by: db
Notmuch cli provides all structured data previously provided
in json format now in s-expression format, rendering all current
json functionality obsolete.
This switches `notmuch-mua-reply' and `notmuch-query-get-threads' to
the S-exp format. These were the last two uses of the JSON format in
the Emacs frontend.
This is just like `notmuch-call-notmuch-json', but parses S-expression
output. Note that, also like `notmuch-call-notmuch-json', this
doesn't consider trailing data to be an error, which may or may not be
what we want in the long run.
This removes the v command, since we now have much nicer part commands,
and deprecates the underlying notmuch-show-view-all-mime-parts. This
also means that people who try using the old unprefixed 'v' command on
a part button will no longer be greeted by ALL of their parts popping
up.
Previously the query string for piping a message to a command was
"Pipe message to command: " regardless of whether the function was
called with a prefix argument (which pipes all open messages to the
command). This patch modifies the `interactive' command to reflect
this.
This adds the actual code to do the lazy insertion of hidden parts.
We use a memory inefficient but simple method: when we come to insert
the part if it is hidden we just store all of the arguments to the
part insertion function as a button property. This means when we want
to show the part we can just resume where we left off.
One thing is that we can't tell if a lazy part will produce text until
we try to render it so when unhiding a part we check to see if it
rendered; if not we invoke the default part handler (e.g. an external
viewer).
Also, we would like to insert the lazy part at the start of the line
after the part button. But if this line has some text properties
(e.g. the colours for a following message header) then the lazy part
gets these properties. Thus we start at the end of the part button
line, insert a newline, insert the lazy part, and then delete the
extra newline at the end of the part.
Previously, whether a part was hidden or shown was recorded in the
invisibility/visibility of the part overlay. Since we are going to
have lazily rendered parts with no overlay store the hidden/shown
state in the part button itself.
Additionally, in preparation for the invisible part handling move the
actual hiding of the hidden parts to insert-bodypart from
create-part-overlays.
Finally, we will need to know whether a part-insertion has done
anything (it won't if the invisible part cannot be displayed by emacs)
so we slightly rejig the code order in
notmuch-show-toggle-part-invisibility to make it easier for the
function to set an appropriate return value.
Previously each of the part insertion handlers inserted the part
button themselves. Move this up into
notmuch-show-insert-bodypart. Since a small number of the handlers
modify the button (the encryption/signature ones) we need to pass the
header button as an argument into the individual part insertion
handlers. However, the declared-type argument was only used for the
text for the part buttons we can now omit it.
The patch is large but mostly simple. The only things of note are that
we let the text/plain handler applies notmuch-wash to the whole part
including the part button. In particular, notmuch-wash removes leading
blank lines from a text/plain part, but since the button is counted as
part of the part this does not happen with text/plain buttons that
have a button. This is probably a bug in notmuch-wash but changing it
does make several tests fail (that rely on this blank line) so, for
the moment, keep the old behaviour.
Earlier patches have moved the handling of wash fake inline patch
parts to insert-bodypart so we can drop the function
notmuch-show-insert-part-inline-patch-fake-part
Occasionally, when the user killed the search buffer when the CLI
process was still running, Emacs would run the
notmuch-start-notmuch-sentinel sentinel twice. The first call would
process and delete the error output file and the second would fail
with an "Opening input file: no such file or directory, ..." error
when attempting to access the error file.
Emacs isn't supposed to run the sentinel twice. The reason it does is
rather subtle (and probably a bug in Emacs):
1) When the user kills the search buffer, Emacs invokes
kill_buffer_processes, which sends a SIGHUP to notmuch, but doesn't do
anything else. Meanwhile, suppose the notmuch search process has
printed some more output, but Emacs hasn't consumed it yet (this is
critical and is why this error only happens sometimes).
2) Emacs gets a SIGCHLD from the dying notmuch process, which invokes
handle_child_signal, which sets the new process status, but can't do
anything else because it's a signal handler.
3) Emacs returns to its idle loop, which calls status_notify, which
sees that the notmuch process has a new status. This is where things
get interesting.
3.1) Emacs guarantees that it will run process filters on any
unconsumed output before running the process sentinel, so
status_notify calls read_process_output, which consumes the final
output and calls notmuch-search-process-filter.
3.1.1) notmuch-search-process-filter checks if the search buffer is
still alive and, since it's not, it calls delete-process.
3.1.1.1) delete-process correctly sees that the process is already
dead and doesn't try to send another signal, *but* it still modifies
the status to "killed". To deal with the new status, it calls
status_notify. Dun dun dun. We've seen this function before.
3.1.1.1.1) The *recursive* status_notify invocation sees that the
process has a new status and doesn't have any more output to consume,
so it invokes our sentinel and returns.
3.2) The outer status_notify call (which we're still in) is now done
flushing pending process output, so it *also* invokes our sentinel.
This patch addresses this problem at step 3.1.1, where the filter
calls delete-process, since this is a strange and redundant thing to
do anyway.
Previously, when the user killed the search buffer before the CLI
search process had completed, we would report the signal sent by Emacs
to kill the CLI to the user as an error. Fix this by only reporting
error exits if the process buffer is still live. We still report
stderr output regardless in case stderr output was relevant to why the
user killed the search buffer (such as a wrapper script being stuck).
This commit adds an extra button at the end of the search entries that
allows deleting that individual search from the history. A short
confirmation («y» or «n») is made before taking action.
The button to clear the recent searches in notmuch-hello is easy to
press accidentally while moving around the, clearing potentially
useful searches with no way of recovering them.
Previously, we simply called pushnew to add :notmuch-part to the
front-sticky and rear-nonsticky text property lists. This works if
these are nil or lists, but they can also have the value t, meaning
that all properties are front-sticky/rear-nonsticky. In this case,
pushnew will signal an error because t is not a list. We never set
these properties to t ourselves, but since we apply these property
changes over arbitrary renderer output, we have to deal with this
possibility.
Several function docstrings refer to behaviour in docstrings that is
really controlled by notmuch-archive-tags. Add cross references, and
replace hardcoding.
These functions refer to default values of variables, but it seems
less confusing and less likely to get out of date to just allow the
user to follow the help cross-reference links.
I found several places where a setq is immediately followed by a let
or a let*. This seems to be the pessimal combination, with the
implicit scope of the setq combined with the extra indentation of the let.
I combined these cases into a single let* which I think is easier to read.
I can't see any benefit to the funcall, and it looks like the result
of cut-and-paste from some code that actually used a variable for the
function to call.
In addition to being the Right Thing to do, this noticeably improves
the time taken to display the first page of search results, since it's
roughly an order of magnitude faster than the JSON parser.
Interestingly, it does *not* significantly improve the time to
completely fill a large search buffer because for large search
buffers, the cost of creating author invisibility overlays and
inserting text (which slows down with more overlays) dominates.
However, the time required to display the first page of results is
generally more important to the user experience.
This provides the same interface as the streaming JSON parser, but
reads S-expressions incrementally. The only difference is that the
`notmuch-sexp-parse-partial-list' helper does not handle interleaved
error messages (since we now have the ability to separate these out at
the invocation level), so it no longer takes an error function and
does not need to do the horrible resynchronization that the JSON
parser had to.
Some implementation improvements have been made over the JSON parser.
This uses a vector instead of a list for the parser data structure,
since this allows faster access to elements (and modern versions of
Emacs handle storage of small vectors efficiently). Private functions
follow the "prefix--name" convention. And the implementation is much
simpler overall because S-expressions are much easier to parse.
Previously, search started the async notmuch process directly. Now,
it uses `notmuch-start-notmuch'. This simplifies the process sentinel
a bit and means that we no longer have to worry about errors
interleaved with the JSON output.
We also update the tests of Emacs error handling, since the error
output is now separated from the search results buffer.
This provides a new notmuch-lib utility to start an asynchronous
notmuch process that handles redirecting of stderr and checking of the
exit status. This is similar to `notmuch-call-notmuch-json', but for
asynchronous processes (and it leaves output processing to the
caller).
Since the part commands are no longer tied to a button, but can be
applied with point anywhere within a part, bind the part commands
keymap to "." everywhere in the show buffer. This lets you save or
view parts without having to navigate to the part button, and is
particularly useful for parts that have no button.
This removes the un-prefixed MIME part commands from the part button
keymap, but that's okay because those clashed in annoying ways with
show buffer bindings like "s" for search. RET on part buttons is
unaffected, which is the most important part button binding.
This unifies the part button actions and the underlying part action
functions into single interactive command that simply applies to the
part containing point using the just-added part p-list text property
instead of button properties. Since all part actions can be performed
by applying the appropriate mm function to an mm-handle, this patch
abstracts out the creation of mm handles, making the implementations
of the part commands trivial. This also eliminates our special
handling for part save in favor of using the appropriate mm function.
This necessarily modifies the way we handle the default part button
action, but in a way that does not change the meaning of the
notmuch-show-part-button-default-action defcustom.
Since these commands are no longer specific to buttons, this patch
eliminates the extra metadata stored with each button. This also
eliminates one rather special-purpose macro for a collection of
general purpose part handling utilities.
This is similar to what we already do with the message p-list, though
we apply the part's text property to the whole part's text, in
contrast with the message p-list, which is (rather obscurely) only
applied to the first character.
Previously, we lost any text properties applied to part buttons or
wash buttons when they were toggled because `insert' directly copies
the text properties of the string being inserted. Fix this by
capturing the properties applied to the button beforehand and
re-applying them after inserting the new text.
For such a simple regexp, this was broken in a very complicated way.
The intent was to strip the newline (and potentially other whitespace)
off the end of the error string so there wasn't an extra newline in
the error signal. However, the regexp was deeply dependent on the
active syntax table and the subtleties of $. We didn't notice this
because all notmuch major modes put ?\n in the whitespace class, which
makes this behaved as intended: the "\\s " matches all newlines, but
by matching the newline character, causes the $ *not* to match
*except* where it matched the empty string at the very end of the
string, which was not followed by a newline.
However, if the syntax table declares ?\n to be non-whitespace
(lisp-mode declares it as endcomment, and is likely to be the mode
you're in when testing functions), then this regexp behaves completely
differently, matching trailing spaces at the end of every line within
the string.
The solution is to say what we mean for whitespace *and* to switch
from $ to \', which matches only the end of the string, rather than
the end of each line. Both are necessary or this will strip away
interior newlines, which is not what we want.
Previously, notmuch-show-view-part overrode the function binding of
mm-show-part to redirect it to notmuch-show-save-part to get notmuch's
default file name handling in case mm-display-part decided to fall
back to saving the part. In addition to being messy, this depended on
the now-deprecated dynamic binding behavior of flet.
This patch removes the mm-show-part override in favor of passing the
file name in to mm-show-part the way it expects, so we get its default
file name handling. It's not clear why we didn't do this before;
mm-show-part has supported default file names since at least Emacs
23.1.
Previously, we simply byte compiled each Elisp source file
independently. This is actually the wrong thing to do and can lead to
issues with macros and performance issues with substitutions because
1) when the byte compiler encounters a (require 'x) form, it will load
x.elc in preference to x.el, even if x.el is newer, and as a result
may load old macro and substitution definitions and 2) if we update a
macro or substitution definition in one file, we currently won't
re-compile other files that depend on the file containing the
definition.
This patch addresses these problems by computing make dependency rules
from the (require 'x) forms in the Elisp source files, which we inject
into make's dependency database.
Currently mime parts are basically handled based on their mime-type
with the exception of application/octet-stream parts. Deal with these
parts at the top level (notmuch-show-insert-bodypart).
This is needed later in the series as we need to put in a part button
for each part (which means knowing its mime type) while deferring the
actual insertion of the part.
Apparently Emacs provides a function to stringify errors properly.
Use this in the search sentinel where we have to do our own error
messaging, rather than assuming the first error argument will be the
descriptive string.
When compiling notmuch-tag.el there is a compile warning:
notmuch-tag.el:27:1:Warning: cl package required at runtime
Since we have decided to allow runtime use of cl we suppress this
warning by adding a tail comment to the file.
The support for emacs version 22 has not worked at least since
September 2011 when I attempted to use it. I expanded the support in
id:yf6ippgtbn0.fsf@taco2.nixu.fi but that was not enough and then I
found it easier to switch to emacs 23.
In case one wants to resurrect emacs 22 (or earlier!) support, pick
the changes from the patch email referenced above.
Added a customizable variable notmuch-address-selection-function
and the function with the same name to provide a way for user to
change the function called to do address selection.
By default the functionality is exactly the same as it has been so
far; completing-read is called with the same parameters as before.
Setting equivalent lambda expression in place of using
notmuch-address-selection-function function is done as follows:
(setq notmuch-address-selection-function
(lambda (prompt collection initial-input)
(completing-read prompt collection nil nil initial-input)))
For example drop-in replacement with ido-completing-read can be done
easily as an one alternative to the default.
Some (declare-function ...) definitions were drifted away from the
actual (defun ...)'s. To find the drifts and to verify changes
the following command line was used:
$ emacs --batch -L emacs --eval '(check-declare-directory "emacs")'
From a show buffer, notmuch-bbdb/snarf-from imports the sender into
bbdb. notmuch-bbdb/snarf-to imports all recipients. Newly imported
contacts are reported in the minibuffer / Messages buffer.
Both functions use the BBDB parser to recognize email address formats.
This modifies notmuch hello to use the new count --batch
functionality. It should give exactly the same results as before but
under many conditions it should be much faster. In particular it is
much faster for remote use.
The code is a little ugly as it has to do some working out of the
query when asking the query and some when dealing with the result.
However, the code path is exactly the same in both local and remote
use.
This has two benefits: unified error handling, and avoiding tramp's
hooking into shell-command-string.
This seems to be a fix for id:874nguxbvq.fsf@tu-dortmund.de
This patch extracts the rendering of tags in notmuch-show to
the notmuch-tag file.
This file introduces a `notmuch-tag-formats' variable that associates
each tag to a particular format. This variable can be customized
thanks to the work of Austin Clements. For example,
'(("unread" (propertize tag 'face '(:foreground "red")))
("flagged" (notmuch-tag-format-image tag "star.svg")))
associates a red foreground to the "unread" tag and a star picture to
the "flagged" tag.

This improves notmuch-combine-face-text-property to support both
applying faces to strings and to support combining the given face
under existing faces, rather than over.
Previously, notmuch-combine-face-text-property assumed that any
existing face properties of the modified text were already in face
list form. This was true as long as it was the only function
manipulating faces (since it always produced a list form face), but if
anything else has manipulated the face, it was more likely to be
either a face name or a face plist. It also didn't correctly handle
face lists as arguments, even though the doc string claimed it did.
This patch fixes notmuch-combine-face-text-property to handle all face
forms correctly by canonicalizing both the argument face and the
existing faces into list form. This also means we can set the face to
a simpler non-list form if there's no existing face.
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.
There is a bug in the current notmuch code with w3m and invisible
parts. w3m sets a keymap, and if we have a hidden [text/html] point
at the start of the following line still gets this w3m keymap which
causes some strange effects. For example, RET gives an error "No URL
at Point" rather than hiding the message, <down> goes to the next link
rather than just down a line.
These keybinding are also inconvenient when the text/html part is
displayed so we ask w3m not to install a keymap.
This is only likely to be a problem for emacs 23 as shr is preferred
as html renderer on emacs 24 (although the user can set the renderer
to w3m even on emacs 24).
This solution was suggested by Tomi Ollila <tomi.ollila@iki.fi>
We recently switched to popping up a buffer to report CLI errors, but
this was too intrusive, especially for transient errors and especially
since we made fewer things ignore errors. This patch changes this to
display a basic error message in the minibuffer (using Emacs' usual
error handling path) and, if there are additional details, to log
these to a separate error buffer and reference the error buffer from
the minibuffer message. This is more in line with how Emacs typically
handles errors, but makes the details available to the user without
flooding them with the details.
Given this split, we pare down the basic message and make it more
user-friendly, and also make the verbose message even more detailed
(and more debugging-oriented).
Now that the invisibility display of parts is present we no longer
need to force the display of all multipart/alternatives: users can
toggle them for themselves when needed.
This adds a button action to show hidden parts. In this version "RET"
toggles the visibility of any part which puts content in the buffer
(as opposed to attachments such as application/pdf).
The button is used to hide parts when appropriate (eg text/html in
multipart/alternative).
This makes notmuch-show-insert-bodypart add an overlay for any
non-trivial part with a button header (currently the first text/plain
part does not have a button). At this point the overlay is available
to the button but there is no action using it yet.
In addition the argument HIDE is passed down to
notmuch-show-insert-part-overlays to request that the part be hidden
by default but this is not acted on yet.
This just make notmuch-show-insert-part-header save the basic button
text for parts as an attribute. This makes it simpler for the button
action (added in a later patch) to reword the label as appropriate (eg
append "(not shown)" or not as appropriate).
Previously, all visibility in show buffers for headers, message
bodies, and washed text was specified by generating one or more
symbols for each region and creating overlays with their 'invisible
property set to carefully crafted combinations of these symbols.
Visibility was controlled not by modifying the overlays directly, but
by adding and removing the generated symbols from a gigantic buffer
invisibilty spec.
This has myriad negative consequences. It's slow because Emacs'
display engine has to traverse the buffer invisibility list for every
overlay and, since every overlay has its own symbol, this makes
rendering O(N^2) in the number of overlays. It composes poorly
because symbol-type 'invisible properties are taken from the highest
priority overlay over a given character (which is often ambiguous!),
rather than being gathered from all overlays over a character. As a
result, we have to include symbols related to message hiding in the
wash code lest the wash overlays un-hide parts of hidden messages. It
also requires various workarounds for isearch to properly open
overlays, to set up buffer-invisibility-spec for
remove-from-invisibility-spec to work right, and to explicitly refresh
the display after updating the buffer invisibility spec.
None of this is necessary.
This patch converts show and wash to use simple boolean 'invisible
properties and to not use the buffer invisibility spec. Rather than
adding and removing generated symbols from the invisibility spec, the
code now directly toggles the 'invisible property of the appropriate
overlay. This speeds up rendering because the display engine only has
to check the boolean values of the overlays over a character. It
composes nicely because text will be invisible if *any* overlay over
it has 'invisible t, which means we can overlap invisibility overlays
with abandon. We no longer need any of the workarounds mentioned
above. And it fixes a minor bug for free: now, when isearch opens a
washed region, the button text will update to say "Click/Enter to
hide" rather than remaining unchanged.
This slightly changes the output of an existing test since we now
report non-zero exits with a pop-up buffer instead of at the end of
the search results.
This checks for non-zero exit status from JSON CLI calls and pops up
an error buffer with stderr and stdout. A consequence of this is that
show and reply now handle errors, rather than ignoring them.
This provides library functions for unified handling of errors from
the notmuch CLI. Follow-up patches will convert some scattered error
handling to use this and add error handling where we currently ignore
errors.
Previously, if the input stream consisted only of an error message,
notmuch-json-begin-compound would signal a (wrong-type-argument
number-or-marker-p nil) error when reaching the end of the error
message. This happened because notmuch-json-scan-to-value would think
that it reached a value and put the parser into the 'value state.
Even after notmuch-json-begin-compound signaled the syntax error, the
parser would remain in this state and when the resynchronization logic
reached the end of the buffer, the parser would fail because the
'value state indicates that characters are available.
This fixes this problem by restoring the parser's previous state if it
encounters a syntax error.
Previously refreshing the notmuch show buffer did not remove overlays
which meant that if the user refreshed a message with images the
images would remain and then the new text was added after.
One might have guessed that erase-buffer would have removed them but
it seems not. Thus force the removal of overlays with remove-overlays.
Remove notmuch-folders which has been deprecated since
commit a466921760
Author: Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org>
Date: Mon Apr 26 22:42:07 2010 -0700
emacs: Rip out all of the notmuch-folder code.
This lets us simplify the notmuch-saved-searches code slightly.
This function is also used by pick so split it out in preperation for
moving to lib. In fact, pick and show want a slightly different
combination of name and email on return so make the separated function
return them as a pair, and let show or pick extract the combination
they want from that.
The macro with-current-notmuch-show-message executes command
`notmuch show --format=raw id:...` which just outputs the contents
of the mail file verbatim (into temporary buffer). In case e.g. utf-8
locale is used the temporary buffer has buffer-file-coding-system as
utf-8. In this case Emacs converts the data to multibyte format, guessing
that input is in utf-8.
However, the "raw" (MIME) message may contain octet data in any other
8bit format, and as no (MIME-)content spesific handling to the message
is done at this point, conversion to other formats may lose information.
By setting coding-system-for-read 'no-conversion drops the conversion part
and makes this handle input as notmuch-get-bodypart-internal() does.
This marks the broken test in previous change fixed.
icalendar-import-buffer can fail by an error signal (which have been
witnessed) but according to its docstring it can also return nil
when failing (it returns t when succeeding).
Now that the error is caught by the caller of notmuch-show-inset-part-*
functions in case icalendar-import-buffer returns nil an explicit
error is signaled and unwind-protect takes care of deleting the
temporary file (just in case, it is usually not written to the fs yet).
notmuch-get-bodypart-content provides raw data to its caller so
that it can be stored verbatim whenever needed. icalendar functions
expect Emacs to do EOL conversion for the data given to these. Therefore
it the CRLF -> LF conversion is now done explicitly.
The calls to private functions icalendar--convert-ical-to-diary and
icalendar--read-element are replaced with call to public function
icalendar-import-buffer.
This regexp agrees with Xapian query syntax much more closely, though
we specifically disallow various cases that would be confusing in the
context of an email body (e.g., punctuation at the end of an id: link
is not considered part of the id: link because it's probably part of
the surrounding text).
In particular, this handles id: links that are not surrounded by
quotes much better, which stash is much more likely to generate now
that we don't quote id's that don't need to be quoted. It also
handles quoted id: links better.
We update the buttonization test to reflect the new pattern.
When inserting of email bodypart failes, insert a failure message
to the buffer (and continue) instead of halting the insertion of
the rest of that email thread in question.
This patch just renames the internal variables for the JSON parser now
it is no longer specific to search mode. It also fixes up the white
space after the previous patch. There should be no functional changes.
This patch splits out the incremental json parser into its own
function.
It moves the main logic of the parser to happen inside the parse
buffer rather than inside the results buffer, but makes sure all
results and all errors are displayed in the results buffer.
It also changes the local parser variables from being buffer
local to the results buffer to being buffer local to the parse buffer,
and sets them up automatically so the caller does not need to.
Finally to keep the diff small this patch does not fix the whitespace,
nor complete the code movement (these are done in subsequent patches)
but it should contain all the functional changes.
Currently, we only properly escape stashed id queries, but there are
other places where the Emacs UI constructs queries for boolean terms.
Since this escaping function is meant to be used in other places, it
avoids escaping strings that don't need escaping.
Emacs 24's mm-shr HTML email renderer fails to load gnus-art before
referencing gnus-inhibit-images, resulting in a void-variable error
when notmuch attempts to render an HTML email with inline images.
This works around this bug by advising mm-shr to load gnus-art.
mm-shr is the only function outside of gnus-art itself that references
gnus-inhibit-images, so this workaround should be correct. If this
ever changes, hopefully they will have fixed this bug upstream first.
This fixes the "Rendering HTML mail with images" test for Emacs 24.
notmuch-hello (called also through notmuch-hello-update, bound to '='
by default) tries to find the widget under or following point before
refresh, and put the point back to the widget afterwards. The code has
grown quite complicated, and has at least the following issues:
1) All the individual section functions have to include code to
support point placement. If there is no such support, point is
dropped to the search box. Only saved searches and all tags
sections support point placement.
2) Point placement is based on widget-value. If there are two widgets
with the same widget-value (for example a saved search with the
same name as a tag) the point is moved to the earlier one, even if
point was on the later one.
3) When first entering notmuch-hello notmuch-hello-target is nil, and
point is dropped to the search box.
Moving the point to the search box is annoying because the user is
required to move the point before being able to enter key bindings.
Simplify the code by removing all point placement based on widgets, as
it does not work properly, and trying to fix that would unnecessarily
complicate the code.
Save current line and column before refresh, and restore them
afterwards. Sometimes, if notmuch-show-empty-saved-searches is nil,
and the refresh adds or removes saved searches from the list, this has
the appearance of moving the point relative to the nearest
widgets. This is a much smaller and less frequent problem than the
ones listed above.
Since marking a message as read can now be a user customized set of
tag changes, make reversing this easier. Allow a prefix argument to
notmuch-show-mark-read to reverse the marking as read, similar to the
unarchiving in notmuch-show-archive-message.
While at it, update the relevant documentation to match that of other
automatic tagging (i.e. archive and reply).
Since archiving a thread can now be a user customized set of tag
changes, make reversing this easier. Allow a prefix argument to
notmuch-search-archive-thread to reverse the archiving, similar to the
unarchiving in notmuch-show-archive-message.
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.
* emacs/notmuch.el (notmuch-search-mode):
`notmuch-search-tag-all' currently uses the current query string
instead of `notmuch-search-find-thread-id-region-search', which
might cause a race condition.
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 recent change to use json for notmuch-search.el introduced a bug
in the code for keeping position on refresh. The problem is a
comparison between (plist-get result :thread) and a thread-id returned
by notmuch-search-find-thread-id: the latter is prefixed with
"thread:"
We fix this by adding an option to notmuch-search-find-thread-id to
return the bare thread-id. It appears that notmuch-search-refresh-view
is the only caller of notmuch-search that supplies a thread-id so this
change should be safe (but could theoretically break users .emacs
functions).
Previously, the Emacs byte compiler produced the warning
the function `remove-if-not' might not be defined at runtime.
because we only required cl at compile-time (not runtime). This fixes
this warning by requiring cl at runtime, ensuring that the definition
of remove-if-not is available.
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.
In commit 5d0883e the function notmuch-search-next-thread was changed.
In particular it only goes to the next message if there is a next
message. This breaks notmuch-show-archive-thread-then-next. Fix this
by going to the "next" message whenever we are on a current message.
At this point, the only remaining functions that don't support
multi-line search result formats are the thread navigation functions.
This patch fixes that by rewriting them in terms of
notmuch-search-result-{beginning,end}.
This changes the behavior of notmuch-search-previous-thread slightly
so that if point isn't at the beginning of a result, it first moves
point to the beginning of the result.
Previously we ignored any notmuch-search-result-format customizations
for tag formatting because we needed to be able to parse back in the
result line and update the tags in place. We no longer do either of
these things, so we can allow customization of this format.
(Coincidentally, previously we still allowed too much customization of
the tags format, since moving it earlier on the line or removing it
from the line would interfere with the tagging mechanism. There is
now no problem with doing such things.)
Since the result object contains everything that the other text
properties recorded, we can remove the other text properties and
simply look in the plist of the appropriate result object.
This simplifies the traversal of regions of results and eliminates the
need for save-excursions (which tend to get in the way of maintaining
point when we make changes to the buffer). It also fixes some strange
corner cases in the old line-based code where results that bordered
the region but were not included in it could be affected by region
commands. Coincidentally, this also essentially enables multi-line
search result formats; the only remaining non-multi-line-capable
functions are notmuch-search-{next,previous}-thread, which are only
used for interactive navigation.
Now that we keep the full thread result object, we can refresh a
result after any changes by simply deleting and reconstructing the
result line from scratch.
A convenient side-effect of this wholesale replacement is that search
now re-applies notmuch-search-line-faces when tags change.
Previously, tag-based search result highlighting was done by creating
an overlay over each search result. However, overlays have annoying
front- and rear-advancement semantics that make it difficult to
manipulate text at their boundaries, which the next patch will do.
They also have performance problems (creating an overlay is linear in
the number of overlays between point and the new overlay, making
highlighting a search buffer quadratic in the number of results).
Text properties have neither problem. However, text properties make
it more difficult to apply multiple faces since, unlike with overlays,
a given character can only have a single 'face text property. Hence,
we introduce a utility function that combines faces into any existing
'face text properties.
Using this utility function, it's straightforward to apply all of the
appropriate tag faces in notmuch-search-color-line.
notmuch-message-mark-replied used "apply" to change message tags
according to notmuch-message-replied-tags after sending a reply. This
works if the latter is a single-element list. But with the recently
changed format of tag changes, it breaks for multiple-element lists.
Use "funcall" to properly pass the list of tag changes as a single
argument.
The JSON format eliminates the complex escaping issues that have
plagued the text search format. This uses the incremental JSON parser
so that, like the text parser, it can output search results
incrementally.
This slows down the parser by about ~4X, but puts us in a good
position to optimize either by improving the JSON parser (evidence
suggests this can reduce the overhead to ~40% over the text format) or
by switching to S-expressions (evidence suggests this will more than
double performance over the text parser). [1]
This also fixes the incremental search parsing test.
This has one minor side-effect on search result formatting.
Previously, the date field was always padded to a fixed width of 12
characters because of how the text parser's regexp was written. The
JSON format doesn't do this. We could pad it out in Emacs before
formatting it, but, since all of the other fields are variable width,
we instead fix notmuch-search-result-format to take the variable-width
field and pad it out. For users who have customized this variable,
we'll mention in the NEWS how to fix this slight format change.
[1] id:"20110720205007.GB21316@mit.edu"
This parser is designed to read streaming JSON whose structure is
known to the caller. Like a typical JSON parsing interface, it
provides a function to read a complete JSON value from the input.
However, it extends this with an additional function that
requires the next value in the input to be a compound value and
descends into it, allowing its elements to be read one at a time
or further descended into. Both functions can return 'retry to
indicate that not enough input is available.
The parser supports efficient partial parsing, so there's no need to
frame the input for correctness or performance.
The bulk of the parsing is still done by Emacs' json.el, so any
improvements or optimizations to that will benefit the incremental
parser as well.
Currently only descending into JSON lists is supported because that's
all we need, but support for descending into JSON objects can be added
in the future.
Rather than passing lots of arguments and then further passing those
to `notmuch-search-insert-field', pass a plist containing all of the
search result information. This plist is compatible with the JSON
format search results.
This is a simpler place to do this, since we can avoid any point
motion and hence any save-excursions in
`notmuch-search-process-filter', which in turn lets us put all of the
search-target logic outside of any save-excursions.
`notmuch-search-show-{result,error}' are now responsible for their own
point motion.
`notmuch-search-process-filter' could use some reindentation after
this, but we're about to rewrite it entirely, so we won't bother.
This removes the last bit of direct output from the parsing function.
With the parser now responsible solely for parsing, we can swap it out
for another parser.
Previously, much of the display of search lines was done in the same
function that parsed the CLI's output. Now the parsing function only
parses, and notmuch-search-show-result fully inserts the search result
in the search buffer.
This introduces a variable to control after how many characters a line
is wrapped by notmuch-wash-wrap-long-lines (still wrapping at the
window width if it is lower).
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.

Previously, the timestamp at the beginning of the FCC unique maildir
name was derived incorrectly, thanks to an integer overflow. This
changes the derivation of timestamp to use a float, and so will get
the number correct at least until 2038. (It is still formatted with
"%d" so it will show up as an integer.) Should we need to change it in
the next 26 years to take the unix millenium into account, it will be
invisible to users.
This change is mostly a question of consistency, since the unique name
is arbitrary anyway. But since most people use timestamps, and that was
the original intention here as well, we might as well.

It was decided in the thread starting at [0] that it is okay for
notmuch to use 'cl runtime functions. However, by default, these
produce byte compiler warnings. This suppresses those using

When mail message is read from emacs, the message structure
obtained may contain parts which have content included
(`text/plain` for example) and other parts where content is not
included (`text/html` for example).
In case content is included, the string is already available in
emacs' internal format and therefore mm-... functions should not
attempt to do further decoding for the data in temp buffer
provided for it.
Currently when reply buffer is created,
notmuch-mm-display-part-inline () is used to provided quoted reply
content. This change makes the mm-... functions called by it use
'gnus-decoded as charset whenever the content is already available.
File .../emacs-23.3/lisp/gnus/mm-uu.el mentions:
"`gnus-decoded' is a fake charset, which means no further decoding."
The customization widget referred to a non-existing function
`notmuch-hello-insert-query-list'. The patch changes it to the
correct one - `notmuch-hello-insert-searches'. The relevant test is
fixed now.
Sometimes, notmuch reply outputs something to stderr, for example:
"Failed to verify signed part: Cannot verify multipart/signed part:
unsupported signature protocol". When this happens, replying in emacs
fails, because emacs cannot parse the error message as JSON.
This patch causes emacs to ignore stderr when reading reply from
notmuch.

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.
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.
notmuch-tag is extended to accept various formats of the tag changes.
In particular, user prompting for tag changes is now incorporated
here, so it is common for modes.
The tag binary and the notmuch-{before,after}-tag-hooks are only
called if tag changes is non-nil.
In all cases tag-changes is returned as a list.
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].

No functional change here. The help message previously referred to
the "delete" tag, but "deleted" is now preferred, so hopefully this
will reduce any potential confusion.
The new message exclude functionality will hide tags that only exist
on excluded messages. However, one might very well want to manually
modify excluded tags. This makes sure tags from excluded messages are
always available in tab completion.
This patch removes trailing spaces in notmuch-hello view.
A side effect of this change is that tag/query buttons no longer
include a space at the end. This means that pressing RET when the
point is at the first character after the tag/query button no longer
works (note that this is the standard behavior for buttons). We may
change this behavior in the future (without adding trailing spaces
back) if people would find this change inconvenient.
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.
In the new reply code, the References header gets inserted by
message.el using a function called message-shorten-references. Unlike
all the other header-inserting functions, it doesn't put a newline
after the header, causing the next header to end up on the same
line. In our case, this header happened to be User-Agent, so it's hard
to notice. This is probably a bug in message.el, but we need to work
around it.
This fixes the problem by wrapping message-shorten-references in a
function that inserts a newline after if necessary. This should
protect against the message.el bug being fixed in the future.
Bug 1: Replying from alternate addresses
----------------------------------------
The reply code was inconsistent in its use of symbols and strings for
header names being passed to message.el functions. This caused the
From header to be lookup up incorrectly, causing an additional From
header to be added with the user's primary address instead of the
correct alternate address.
This is fixed by using symbols everywhere, i.e. never using strings
for header names when interacting with message.el.
This change also removes our use of `mail-header`, since we don't use
it anywhere else, and using assq makes it clear how the header lists
are expected to work.
Bug 2: Duplicate headers in emacs 23.2
--------------------------------------
The message.el code in emacs 23.2 assumes that header names will
always be passed as symbols, so our use of strings caused
problems. The symptom was that on 23.2 (and presumably on earlier
versions) the reply message would end up with two of some headers.
Converting everything to symbols also fixes this issue.
Previously, this function took an argument called "message-id", even
though it was a general query, rather than a message ID. This changes
it to "query".
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.
The function notmuch-match-content-type was comparing content types
case sensitively. Fix it so it tests case insensitively.
This fixes a bug where emacs would not include any body when replying
to a message with content-type TEXT/PLAIN.
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.
In X, Emacs distinguishes the tab key, which produces a 'tab event;
from C-i, which produces a ?\t event. However, in a terminal, these
are indistinguishable and only produce a ?\t event. In order to
simplify things, Emacs automatically translates from 'tab to ?\t (see
"Function key translations" in M-x describe-bindings), so functions
only need to be bound to ?\t to work in all situations.
Previously, the search tab completion code usedq (kbd "<tab>"), which
produced the event sequence [tab], which only matched the 'tab event
and hence only worked in X. This patch changes it to (kbd "TAB"),
which matches the general ?\t event and works in all situations.
The reply MML quoting added in commit ae438cc unintentionally MML
quotes also the signature/encryption MML tags added via
message-setup-hook, causing the reply not to be signed/encrypted.
MML quote just the original message in the temp buffer before
inserting it to the message buffer, to not interfere with message mode
hooks or message construction in general.

This is a small change to make notmuch.el ignore excluded matches. In
the future it could do something better like add a button for
rerunning the search with the excludes (particularly if nothing
matches with the excludes) or having them invisible and allowing the
visibility to be toggled.
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.
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).
This patch makes the notmuch-hello screen fully customizable
by allowing the user to add and remove arbitrary sections. It
also provides some convenience functions for constructing sections,
e.g. showing the unread message count for each tag.
This is done by specifying a list of functions that will be run
when notmuch-hello is invoked.
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.

When notmuch-search-line-faces is used to set background color in search
results, the highlight of the current line is not always displayed
correctly. This patch fixes that by increasing the priority property of
the highlight overlay.
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.
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.
Add default value to notmuch-search-line-faces to show "unread"
messages in bold, and "flagged" messages in blue, to have some visual
indication of important messages in search results. This should be
helpful for new users.
"unread" tag is quite obvious, and handled specially both in the lib
and emacs ui. "flagged" is synced to maildir F flag in the lib. If one
syncs the maildir to IMAP, this also translates to corresponding IMAP
flag. (This is "starred" in GMail and Android.)

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'.
This makes the argument names more consistent and clear. The
following functions changed: `notmuch-tag',
`notmuch-search-tag-thread', `notmuch-search-tag-region' and
`notmuch-search-tag-all'.
Since `notmuch-tag' is a non-interactive function and hence is meant
to be invoked programmatically, it should accept zero tags. Also, the
tagging operations (bound to "*", "+", "-") would accept empty input
without an error.
The tag syntax check in `notmuch-tag' function was too strict and did
not allow nmbug tags with "::". Since the check is done for all
tagging operations in Emacs UI, this basically means that no nmbug
tags can be changed. The patch relaxes the tag syntax check to allow
any tag names that do not include whitespace characters.
Some tag-related operations accept a single tag without prefix
(`notmuch-select-tag-with-completion'), others accept multiple tags
prefixed with '+' or '-' (`notmuch-read-tag-changes'). Before the
change, both functions used a single default minibuffer history. This
is inconvenient because you have to skip options with incompatible
format when going through the history. The patch adds separate
history lists for the two functions. Note that functions that accept
the same input format (e.g. "+", "-", "*") share the history list as
before.
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).
Before the change, "+" and "-" tagging operations in notmuch-search
view accepted only a single tag. The patch makes them use the
recently added `notmuch-read-tag-changes' function (renamed
`notmuch-select-tags-with-completion'), which allows to enter multiple
tags with "+" and "-" prefixes. So after the change, "+" and "-"
bindings in notmuch-search view allow to both add and remove multiple
tags. The only difference between "+" and "-" is the minibuffer
initial input ("+" and "-" respectively).
Before the change, tag format validation was done in
`notmuch-search-operate-all' function only. The patch moves it down
to `notmuch-tag', so that all users of that function get input
validation.
As Aaron explains in id:"m2vco72tf3.fsf@wal122.wireless-pennnet.upenn.edu"
Using point-max would include the signature in the quoting as well.
It would probably be fairly odd to want to put an MML tag in one’s
signature, but that doesn’t mean that we should break that usage.
We had to use point-max in the 0.11.1 bug-fix release, because the
mark functionality was added post 0.11.
`Notmuch-wash-region-to-button' is the function that creates hidden
regions with buttons for signatures, citations and original messages.
Before the change, it did not work correctly if the to-be-hidden
region started at the beginning of a message: the visibility toggle
button was hidden as well. The patch fixes this. There are two parts
in the fix:
* Use `insert-before-markers' instead of `insert' for creating the
button, so that it does not get added to the hidden overlay.
* Stop using PREFIX argument for adding a newline before the button.
The newline should not be added before a button at the beginning of
buffer.
The corresponding test is fixed now.
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.
Emacs message-mode uses certain text strings to indicate how to attach
files to outgoing mail. If these are present in the text of an email,
and a user is tricked into replying to the message, the user’s files

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
to inline.
This fixes the display of attached image/jpeg parts, for example.
There are two ways to do search in Emacs UI: search widget in
notmuch-hello buffer and `notmuch-search' function bound to "s".
Before the change, these search mechanisms used different history
lists. The patch makes notmuch-hello search use the same history list
as `notmuch-search' function.
Before the change, "s" in notmuch-hello buffer would jump to the
search box. The patch changes the binding to `notmuch-search' which
is consistent with all other notmuch buffers.
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)
This makes `show-trailing-whitespace' happy, i.e. it does not mark the
whole search box line as trailing spaces.
Since the dot is invisible, this change makes no visible difference
for `notmuch-hello'.

Simplify `notmuch-substitute-command-keys' a little to make it easier
to read.
With the default configuration ('space' moves through the messages
matching the search and back to the results index at the end) it's
unnecessary to signal an error when the last message has been read, as
this is the common case.
Moreover, it's very annoying when `debug-on-error' is t.
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

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

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.

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

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.
This fixes the recently-added emacs-large-search-buffer test. This is
as simple as saving any trailing input and then pre-prepending it on
the next call.
MAny thanks to Thomas Schwinge <thomas@schwinge.name> for tracking
down this problem and contributing a preliminary version of this fix.
Rather than silently swallowing unexpected output, the emacs interface will now
display it. This will allow error messages to actually arrive at the emacs
interface (though not in an especially pretty way). This also allows for easier
investigation of the inadvertent swallowing of search results that span page
boundaries (as demonstrated by the recent added emacs-large-search-buffer test).
The page-boundary bug has been present since a commit from 2009-11-24:

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.
add --bashcompletiondir and --zshcompletiondir (like --emacslispdir) to choose
installation dir for bash/zsh completion files
Make some features optional:
--without-emacs / --with-emacs=no do not install lisp file
--without-bash-completion / --with-bash-completion=no do not install bash
files
--without-zsh-completion / --with-zsh-completion=no do not install zsh files
By default, everything is enabled. You can reenable something with
--with-feature=yes
The removed expressions, which were used to ensure that citations were
both preceded and followed by a blank line, were poorly implemented
and caused a regexp stack overflow on messages more than a few
thousand lines long.
Incremental search does not match strings that span a
visible/invisible boundary. This results in failure to correctly
isearch for authors in `notmuch-search' mode if the name of the author
is split between the visible and invisible components of the authors
string. To avoid this, attempt to truncate the visible component of
the authors string on a boundary between authors, such that the
entirety of an author's name is either visible or invisible.
Appease the test suite by using the true name for the Fcc directory
path, otherwise a value for `notmuch-database-path' which includes
symbolic links causes test suite failures.
Emacs22 lacks apply-partially and mouse-event-p, so define them if emacs
version is less than 23. With this change, I was able to begin using
notmuch in emacs22.
The definitions of apply-partially and mouse-event-p are copied from
the emacs 23 distribution, (which is distributed under the GPLv3+ just
as notmuch).
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).
This add a "stash-map" for search-mode, just like in show-mode, and
adds one function, bound to "i" to stash the thread-id of the current
selected thread.
Couldn't think of the correct way to stash other thread info, so I
didn't add any other stash functions for now.
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).
Re-work the declaration and definition of `notmuch-fcc-dirs'. The
variable now allows three types of values:
- nil: no Fcc header is added,
- a string: the value of `notmuch-fcc-dirs' is the name of the
folder to use,
- a list: the folder is chosen based on the From address of the
current message using a list of regular expressions and
corresponding folders:
((\"Sebastian@SSpaeth.de\" . \"privat\")
(\"spaetz@sspaeth.de\" . \"OUTBOX.OSS\")
(\".*\" . \"defaultinbox\"))
If none of the regular expressions match the From address, no
Fcc header will be added.
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.
Without this little patch notmuch fails if asked to display a saved
search that has zero results
Edited-by: David Edmondson <dme@dme.org>: With code that is a little
more "emacsy".
Re-write `notmuch-search-color-line', with the following improvements:
- create overlays only if they will be needed,
- merge the properties specified for a tag on top of any matching a
previous tag.
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 original code was intended to work, but clearly wasn't tested. Use
mail-header (as in existing code) to extract a header from a header alist.
This fixes the duplicate-from-line bug that is exercised by the test
just added to the test suite.
