This new JSON format for replies includes headers generated for a
reply message as well as the headers of the original message. Using
this data, a client can intelligently create a reply. For example, the
emacs client will be able to create replies with quoted HTML parts by
parsing the HTML parts.
This adds three tests for --output=messages searches. One test is for
the case when one exclude tag does not occur in the Xapian
database. This triggers a Xapian bug in some cases and causes the
whole exclusion to fail. The next commit avoids this bug.
The tests for the exclude code in search and count use the line
notmuch config set search.exclude_tags = deleted
which actually sets the exclude tags to be "=" and "deleted". Remove
the "=" from this line.
Before the change, messages generated by generate_message() used "Test
message #N" for default subject where N is the generated messages
counter. Since message subject is commonly present in expected
results, there is a chance of breaking other tests when a new
generate_message() call is added. The patch changes default subject
value for generated messages to subtest name if it is available. If
subtest name is not available (i.e. message is generated during test
initialization), the old default value is used (in this case it is
fine to have the counter in the subject).
Another benefit of this change is a sane default value for subject in
generated messages, which would allow to simplify code like:
test_begin_subtest "test for a cool feature"
add_message [subject]="message for test for a cool feature"
Before the change, the first subtest in raw format tests just
generated messages and checked that they are added successfully. This
is not really a raw format test, it is creating of environment
required for other subtests to run. The patch removes the first
subtest from raw and replaces it with bare add_message calls, similar
to how it is done in other tests.
TODO: we should check that test environment was created successfully.
Currently, many tests do add_message(), notmuch new and other calls
without checking the results. We should come up with a general
solution for this, i.e. if any command during test initialization
fails, all tests should be skipped with appropriate error message.
This is fully compatible for root and leaf parts, but now has proper
support for interior parts. This requires some design decisions that
were guided by what I would want if I were to save a part.
Specifically:
- Leaf parts are printed without headers and with transfer decoding.
This is what makes sense for saving attachments. (Furthermore, the
transfer decoding is necessary since, without the headers, the
caller would not be able to interpret non-transfer-decoded output.)
- Message parts are printed with their message headers, but without
enclosing part headers. This is what makes sense for saving a
message as a whole (which is a message part) and for saving attached
messages. This is symmetric for whole messages and for attached
messages, though we special-case the whole message for performance
reasons (and corner-case correctness reasons: given malformed input,
GMime may not be able to reproduce it from the parsed
representation).
- Multipart parts are printed with their headers and all child parts.
It's not clear what the best thing to do for multipart is, but this
was the most natural to implement and can be justified because such
parts can't be interpreted without their headers.
As an added benefit, we can move the special-case code for part 0 into
the raw formatter.
Previously, there was only one CRLF between the terminating boundary
of the embedded multipart/alternative and the boundary of the
containing multipart. However, according the RFC 1341, 7.2.1:
The boundary must be followed immediately either by another CRLF and
the header fields for the next part, or by two CRLFs, in which case
there are no header fields for the next part
and
The CRLF preceding the encapsulation line is considered part of the
boundary so that it is possible to have a part that does not end
with a CRLF (line break).
Thus, there must be *two* CRLFs between these boundaries: one that
ends the terminating boundary and one that begins the enclosing
boundary.
While GMime accepted the message we had before, it could not produce
such a message.
gmime-2.6 had a bug [1] which made it impossible to tell why a signature
verification failed when the signer key was unavailable (empty "sigstatus" field
in the JSON output). Since 00b5623d the corresponding test is marked as broken
when using gmime-2.6 (2.4 is fine).
This bug has been fixed in gmime 2.6.5, which is now the minimal gmime-2.6
version required for building notmuch (gmime-2.4 is still available). As a
consequence the version check in test/crypto can be removed.
[Added by db]
Although less unambigously a bug, Gmime 2.6 prior to 2.6.7 also was
more strict about parsing, and rejected messages with initial "From "
headers. This restriction is relaxed in [2]. For reasons explained in [3],
we want to keep this more relaxed parsing for now.

notmuch show outputs the exclude flag so many tests using notmuch
show failed. This commit adds "excluded:0" or "excluded: false" to
the expected outputs. After this commit there should be no failing
tests.
notmuch-search.c now returns all matching threads even if it the
match is a search.tag_excluded message (but with a mark indicating
this). Update the test to reflect this.
This has three ramifications:
- Blank To and Cc headers are no longer output for messages.
- Dates are now canonicalized for messages, which means they always
have a day of the week and GMT is printed +0000 (never -0000)
- Invalid From message headers are handled slightly differently, since
they get parsed by GMime now instead of notmuch.
Previously, top-level message headers were printed as Subject, From,
To, Date, while embedded message headers were printed From, To,
Subject, Date. This makes both cases use the former order and updates
the tests accordingly.
Emails that are encoded differently than as ASCII or UTF-8 are not
indexed properly by notmuch. It is not possible to search for non-ASCII
words within those messages.
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.
* emacs/notmuch-show.el
(notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link-alist):
New defcustom of type `alist' (key = name, value = URI),
containing Mailing List Archive URI's for searching by Message-Id.
(notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link-default):
New defcustom, default MLA to use when `notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link'
received no user input whatsoever. Available choices are generated using
the contents of `notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link-alist'.
(notmuch-show-stash-map):
Added keybinds "l" and "L" for `notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link'
respectively `notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link-and-go'.
(notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link):
New function, stashes a URI pointing to the current message at one
of the MLAs configured in `notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link-alist'.
Prompts user with `completing-read' if not provided with an MLA key.
(notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link-and-go):
New function, uses `notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link' to
stash a URI, and then visits it using the browser configured
in `browse-url-browser-function'.

`notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link' stashes a URI pointing to the current message
at one of the MLAs configured in `notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link-alist'.
Marked as "broken": fixed in next commit.
When tests are skipped due to missing prereqs, those prereqs are only
displayed when running with the `--verbose' option. This is essential
information when troubleshooting, so always send to stdout.
A new configuration key 'new.ignore' is used to determine which
files and directories user wants not to be scanned as new mails.
Mark the corresponding test as no longer broken.
This work merges my previous attempts and Andreas Amann's work
in id:"ylp7hi23mw8.fsf@tyndall.ie"
Files and directories which are specified in 'new.ignore' in the
config file shouldn't be indexed nor reported by `notmuch new'.
This is basically Pieter's work with Austin's comments addressed.
This makes the text formatter take advantage of the new code
structure. The previously duplicated header logic is now unified,
several things that we used to compute repeatedly across different
callbacks are now computed once, and the code is simpler overall and
32% shorter.
Unifying the header logic causes this to format some dates slightly
differently, so the two affected test cases are updated.
After the recent tagging operations changes, functions bound to "+"
and "-" in notmuch-search and notmuch-show views always read input
from the minibuffer. Use kbd macros instead of calling them directly.
`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 test is currently broken and will be fixed by a subsequent patch.
The patch adds a new file for tests of Emacs notmuch-show view.
Based on patch by David Edmondson [1].

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
could be exposed.
Edited-by: Pieter Praet <pieter@praet.org>: Rebased to release branch.
The test is broken at this time; the next commit will introduce a fix.
Edited-by: Pieter Praet <pieter@praet.org>:
Rebased to release branch, moved expected output into the actual test,
and fixed "Fcc:" line.
`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.
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.
Add a new test function to allow simpler testing of emacs
functionality.
`test_emacs_expect_t' takes one argument - a lisp expression to
evaluate. The test passes if the expression returns `t', otherwise it
fails and the output is reported to the tester.
When checking for a running emacs, test_emacs evaluates the empty list
'()'. This returns 'nil' when emacs is running, which is then
prepended to the actual test result. Given that it is not part of the
actual test output the test harness can incorrectly report test
failure (or success).
Currently, the 'search.exclude_tags' option is automatically
set to "deleted;spam;" if it's missing from the config file.
This violates the Principle of Least Surprise, so *only* set
'search.exclude_tags' to "deleted;spam;" if we didn't find a
configuration file at all.
This patch is actually Austin Clements' work:
