the idea is that you can run
% notmuch search subject:/<your-favourite-regexp>/
% notmuch search from:/<your-favourite-regexp>/
or
% notmuch search subject:"your usual phrase search"
% notmuch search from:"usual phrase search"
This feature is only available with recent Xapian, specifically
support for field processors is needed.
It should work with bindings, since it extends the query parser.
This is easy to extend for other value slots, but currently the only
value slots are date, message_id, from, subject, and last_mod. Date is
already searchable; message_id is left for a followup commit.
This was originally written by Austin Clements, and ported to Xapian
field processors (from Austin's custom query parser) by yours truly.
In most part, our .rst documents are indented with 8 spaces instead
of tabs. Bring the rest of the lines to the same format.
Also, on one (supposedly empty) line, trailing spaces were removed.
If the --hello parameter is given, display the notmuch hello buffer
instead of the message composition buffer if no message composition
parameters are given.

Install man pages based on $(MAN_GZIP_FILES), which directly
corresponds to the man page source rst files. This way we can filter
the man pages to be installed as needed.
Use $(wildcard ...) to generate the list of man pages based on the rst
source files present in the man page directories, instead of reading
conf.py. This has three main benefits:
1) This makes the man page build slightly less complicated and easier
to understand. At least there are fewer moving parts.
2) This makes the build fail if we add a man page rst file, but fail
to add it to conf.py.
3) We can use Sphinx constructs in conf.py that are not available when
importing the file into a normal python program such as
mkdocdeps.py.
If Sphinx fails to create any of the roff files, having touch create
them hides the errors until someone realizes, possibly much later,
that the resulting files are empty. (Note that gzip doesn't fail on
empty input files.) Sphinx will change the timestamps of any files it
has written anyway.
Fix make sphinx-texinfo warnings:
WARNING: undefined label: notmuch-jump (if the link has no caption the
label must precede a section header)
WARNING: undefined label: notmuch-saved-searches (if the link has no
caption the label must precede a section header)
No need to repeat mostly the same information twice in conf.py. We
probably want to have a corresponding texinfo document for all the man
pages. Python list comprehension to the rescue. (The reverse is not
true; we have a texinfo document for notmuch-emacs we don't want as a
man page.)
There should be no user visible changes.
Add support for composing an email in the Notmuch Emacs UI using a
mailto: URL. The mailto: URL mode is mutually exclusive with
specifying other message modifying parameters and positional
arguments.
We want to be able to query the properties directly, like:
notmuch count property:foo=bar
which should return a count of messages where the property with key
"foo" has value equal to "bar".
sphinx-build emits a minor warning:
[...]doc/man7/notmuch-search-terms.rst:223: WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
And the tabular representation of boolean or probabilistic prefixes
currently renders like this when i view it in man:
┌───────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────┐
│Boolean │ Probabilistic │
└───────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────┘
│ tag: id: │ from: to: │
│ │ │
│ thread: folder: │ subject: attach‐ │
│ path: │ ment: mimetype: │
└───────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────┘
This isn't just ugly: it's confusing, because it seems to imply that
some of the prefixes in the left-hand column are somehow related to
specific other prefixes in the right-hand column.
The Definition List representation introduced by this patch should be
simpler for readers to understand, and doesn't have the warning.
Many of the external links found in the notmuch source can be resolved
using https instead of http. This changeset addresses as many as i
could find, without touching the e-mail corpus or expected outputs
found in tests.
Most of the infrastructure here is general, only the validation/dispatch
is hardcoded to a particular prefix.
A notable change in behaviour is that notmuch-config now opens the
database e.g. on every call to list, which fails with an error message
if the database doesn't exit yet.
Current documentation and comments in the code do not correspond to
the actual code and tests in the test suite ("Un-munging Reply-To" in
T230-reply-to-sender.sh). Fix it.
<since> and <until> for the lastmod: prefix right below the date:
prefix description give the impression one could use last modified
dates to lastmod: which is not at all the case. Use
<initial-revision>..<final-revision> instead.
Before this change with --auto-daemon but without --create-frame
emacs server was started but no clients stay connected to it
(in both graphical and terminal displays).
Note that this changes how --client --auto-daemon works on
graphical display; New emacs frame is now created for the
message (and message-exit-actions hook appended).
Make the default behaviour for --client the same as emacsclient
default: do not create a new frame. Add a new option --create-frame,
passing the same option to emacsclient to create a frame.
Automatically starting Emacs in daemon mode if the Emacs server is not
running is a matter of preference better not hard coded in
notmuch-emacs-mua. Add an option to control the behaviour.
The order of the results with --output=count and --deduplicate=address
are unspecified as they're based on a hash table traversal. This being
the case, optimize the query by explicitly requesting unsorted
results. Clarify the documentation accordingly.
It doesn't seem likely we can support simple date:<expr> expanding to
date:<expr>..<expr> any time soon. (This can be done with a future
version of Xapian, or with a custom query query parser.) In the mean
time, provide shorthand date:<expr>..! to mean the same. This is
useful, as the expansion takes place before interpetation, and we can
use, for example, date:yesterday..! to match from beginning of
yesterday to end of yesterday.
Idea from Mark Walters <markwalters1009@gmail.com>.
The function notmuch_exit_if_unmatched_db_uuid is split from
notmuch_process_shared_options because it needs an open notmuch
database.
There are two exceptional cases in uuid handling.
1) notmuch config and notmuch setup don't currently open the database,
so it doesn't make sense to check the UUID.
2) notmuch compact opens the database inside the library, so we either
need to open the database just to check uuid, or change the API.
In the short term we need a way to get lastmod information e.g. for
the test suite. In the long term we probably want to add lastmod
information to at least the structured output for several other
clients (e.g. show, search).
Thanks to FreeBSD port maintainer Mikhail for report and the original
the original patch.
This is the right thing (TM) and also apparently fixes the build on
FreeBSD.
Previously we set up a way for the top level notmuch command to choose
which gpg binary was invoked by libgmime. In this commit we add the
(mostly boilerplate) code to allow the notmuch-config command to read
and write this path, and use it in the appropriate struct.
Update tests for new default variable
Notmuch uses long options exclusively all around. The short options in
notmuch-emacs-mua are intentionally just a compatible subset of
mutt(1). Keep it this way, if only to make documenting the fact easy!
The Notmuch style --client long option remains, of course.
Questions related to the way that probabilistic prefixes and phrases
are handled come up quite often and it is nicer to have the documentation self contained. Hopefully putting it in subsections prevents it from being overwhelming.
Adds new entry to the NEWS file, and updates the search terms section
of the man page. The search terms section needs to be updated again
once the new section in the documentation covering probablistic terms
has been committed.
As discussed in
id:8cc9dd580ad672527e12f43706f9803b2c8e99d8.1405220724.git.wking@tremily.us,
execfile is unavailable in python3.
The approach of this commit avoids modifying the python module path,
which is arguably preferable since it avoids potentially accidentally
importing a module from the wrong place.
When no --output option were given, change default to display senders
only.
When only --count option is given, display senders (in contrary to not
displaying anything).
Document that --count with --sort=**order** is not supported option
combination.
Clean up some whitespace in the documentation.
One test updated to have --output=count without sender nor recipient
output option.
Changed one tab in doc/man1/notmuch-show.rst to 8 spaces.
Removed one leading tab in doc/man5/notmuch-hooks.rst to make
the SYNOPSIS style consistent with other pages.
This filters out duplicate addresses from address command output.
It also also adds tests for the address command.
The code here is an extended version of a patch from Jani Nikula.
Now, when address related outputs are in a separate command, it makes
no sense to combine multiple --output options in search command line.
Using switch statement to handle different outputs is more readable
than a series of if statements.
This moves address-related functionality from search command to the
new address command. The implementation shares almost all code and
some command line options.
Options --offset and --limit were intentionally not included in the
address command, because they refer to messages numbers, which users
do not see in the output. This could confuse users because, for
example, they could see more addresses in the output that what was
specified with --limit. This functionality can be correctly
reimplemented for address subcommand later.
Also useless values of --exclude flag were not included in the address
command.
This was inspired by a patch from Jani Nikula.
The new outputs allow printing senders, recipients or both of matching
messages. To print both, the user can use --output=sender and
--output=recipients simultaneously.
Currently, the same address can appear multiple times in the output.
The next commit will change this. For this reason, tests are
introduced there.
We use mailbox_t rather than InternetAddressMailbox because we will
need to extend it in a following commit.
This code is based on a patch from Jani Nikula.
The post-new hook might no longer be needed or run very often if
notmuch insert is being used. Therefore a post-insert hook is needed
(arguably pre-insert not so much, so don't add one). Also add the
--no-hooks option to skip hooks.
Add --keep option to keep any remaining stuff in index or file. We
could distinguish between failures to index and failures to apply tags
or maildir sync, but for simplicity just have one.
Although this manual is far from complete, it may be helpful for
someone. In particular building it as part of the standard build
process makes it easier to find problems when editing the
notmuch-emacs-manual.
There is a doxygen bug about these odd files,
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727796
But it isn't clear if / when a fix will be provided, so just delete it
