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
to avoid e.g. confusing man-to-wiki.pl
