We've had _notmuch_message_database() internally for a while, and it's
useful. It turns out to be useful on the other side of the library
interface as well (i'll use it later in this series for "notmuch
show"), so we expose it publicly now.
Wherever the test relies on directories being scanned, this option
should be used to avoid skipping them due to mtimes on directories
matching the database.
Most of these just check that adding the flag does not break existing
functionality. The one test that does check the full-scan
functionality had to be rewritten to output debugging info.
By default notmuch-new uses directory mtimes to optimize the scanning of
directories for new mail. This option allows turning that optimization
off e.g. for testing or debugging.
This way, one can build for a different Ruby than $PATH/ruby
(e. g. different versions, or Ruby in other paths).

The observation is that we are only using the messages to get there
thread_id, which is kindof a pessimal access pattern for the current
notmuch_message_get_thread_id
This change allows queries of the form
thread:{from:me} and thread:{from:jian} and not thread:{from:dave}
This is still somewhat brute-force, but it's a big improvement over
both the shell script solution and the previous proposal [1], because it
does not build the whole thread structure just generate a
query. A further potential optimization is to replace the calls to
notmuch with more specialized Xapian code; in particular it's not
likely that reading all of the message metadata is a win here.

Correct URLs that have crept into the notmuch codebase with http://
when https:// is possible.
As part of this conversion, this changeset also indicates the current
preferred upstream URLs for both gmime and sup. the new URLs are
https-enabled, the old ones are not.
This also fixes T310-emacs.sh, thanks to Bremner for catching it.
We expect this to give the same answer as the non-regexp subject
search. It does not because the regexp search relies on the value
slot, which currently contains only one subject.
These roughly replicate the equivalent C tests, although they rely on
the database state created by the former tests, since the python
bindings currently provide read-only access to properties.
At least Fedora28 triggers this Xapian bug due to some toolchain change .

The underlying bug is fixed in xapian commit f92e2a936c1592, and
should be fixed in Xapian 1.4.6
I think we've diverged enough from the Xapian query parser
that we can't rely on that syntax description [1]. As far as I can
tell, [1] also only discusses quotes in the context of phrases.

The previous loop handling code chooses the last message in the
message list, which turns out to be the last in date order.
See the comment in _notmuch_thread_create.
We added several new functions, at least
notmuch_database_get_default_indexopts
notmuch_database_index_file
notmuch_indexopts_destroy
notmuch_indexopts_get_decrypt_policy
notmuch_indexopts_set_decrypt_policy
notmuch_message_count_files
notmuch_message_has_maildir_flag
notmuch_message_reindex
notmuch_message_remove_all_properties_with_prefix
notmuch_thread_get_total_files
Currently, notmuch has the levers needed to set coherent crypto policy
around how cleartext is indexed, which also has an impact on how
messages are rendered. But we don't have a lot of documentation about
how to do sensible things. This is an initial attempt to address
that.
The first example shows a way to selectively index specific messages.
The next two examples are about aligning the existing database with
crypto indexing policy
The default crypto policy is to not index cleartext, and to only
decrypt messages on display when explicitly requested.
The other sensible crypto policy is to index cleartext while stashing
session keys. messages indexed in this way will be searchable, and
will be decrypted on display automatically unless the user explicitly
asks for it to *not* be decrypted.
The policy for indexing *new* messages is stored in the database as
the config variable index.decrypt.
But setting policy for new messages doesn't retroactively affect
already indexed messages.
This patch attempts to document ways that someone can efficiently
align their pre-existing database with their new policy.
I'm not sure this is the right place to document these examples, but i
do want them to be user-facing and relatively easy to find. I'm happy
to entertain suggestions for where else we should put them.
In some cases (e.g. when building a publicly-visible e-mail archive)
it doesn't make any sense to restrict visibility of the message to the
current user account.
This adds a --world-readable boolean option for "notmuch insert", so
that those who want to archive their mail publicly can feed their
archiver with:
notmuch insert --world-readable
Other local delivery agents (postfix's local, and dovecot's lda) all
default to delivery in mode 0600 rather than relying on the user's
umask, so this fix doesn't change the default.
Also, this does not override the user's umask. if the umask is
already set tight, it will not become looser as the result of passing
--world-readable.

Need to be clearer about specifying time ranges using timestamps.
Legacy syntax which predates the date prefix is still supported, but
timestamps used in conjunction with the date prefix require additional
syntax.
