This has been broken since the addition of support for streaming
search results to the emacs interface. With the old apparoach it was
easy to simply wait for all search results to land in the buffer and
then search for the desired line. With streaming results, we have to
save the target off to the side and allow the process filter and
sentinel functions to correctly respond when the target thread
appears.
Commit cd467caf renamed notmuch_query_search to notmuch_query_search_messages.
Commit 1ba3d46f created notmuch_query_search_threads. We better keep the docs
of notmuch_query_create consistent with those changes.

This is a fairly old regression. There has always been code to avoid
printing empty headers (such as Cc or Bcc with no values), but it has
been broken since notmuch_message_get_header was changed to return
an empty string rather than a NULL pointer for these fields.
There's been a lot of good work done, and we've been doing a generally
poor job of noticing when some of the tasks we've completed were
already on our TODO list.
So here's a careful scan, removing all items I could find that have
already been done.
The behavior was changed in commit 4aff2ca55b
to affect all messages in the thread (and not only those matching
the current search) but the documentation was not updated (until
now).
We rename 'has_more' to 'valid' so that it can function whether
iterating in a forward or reverse direction. We also rename
'advance' to 'move_to_next' to setup parallel naming with
the proposed functions 'move_to_first', 'move_to_last', and
'move_to_previous'.
Commit 095a02211e broke the backspace
key by trying to execute nil as a function, (which obviously won't
work), when it was intended as a return value. Fix this now, (and pine
for a test suite that exercises the emacs user-interface of notmuch).
When searching for an individual message, (by message id, say), it's
really annoying to have the entire thread open just because the thread
was archived without ever having been read.
This means that the "unread" tag is a lot less special, and it really
just exists as a mild cue for the user.
Justin B Rye pointed out (in Debian bug #566282) that a user with mail
in mbox format can spend a lot of time investigating notmuch before
realizing that mbox is not supported. Head that off with a more
detailed mention in the README blurb.
Sometimes the internals of the implementation navigate among messages,
(as opposed to the user explicitly requesting the next message to be
shown). In these cases we don't want to remove the unread tag from the
message navigated to.
This fixes a bug where invocation of notmuch-show-next-unread-message
would clear the unread tag from all messages in a thread.
This patch is intended to greatly simplify the handling of the
"unread" tag in the emacs UI. This patch adds a new function
'notmuch-show-mark-read', that removes the "unread" tag in
notmuch-show-mode. This function is then executed as a
notmuch-show-hook, and by notmuch-show-next-message. All of the
functions that explicitly marked messages as unread are removed or
renamed.
The idea here is that the user should never have to worry about
manipulating the "unread" tag. The tag should persist until the user
actually views a message, at which point it should be automatically
removed. This patch simplifies the notmuch.el quite a bit, removing a
lot of somewhat redundant functions, and reducing clutter in the name
and key-mapping space.
The text output uses thread:<foo>, (which is a syntax directly supported
by "notmuch show"), so make the json output be "thread", "<foo>" rather
than "id", "<foo>". This should help avoid confusion of thread IDs with
message IDs, (which do use the "id" prefix in searches).
In the case of notmuch-show, "--format=json" also implies
"--entire-thread" as the thread structure is implicit in the emitted
document tree.
As a coincidence to the implementation, multipart message ID numbers are
now incremented with each part printed. This changes the previous
semantics, which were unclear and not necessary related to the actual
ordering of the message parts.
We've been using --output in IRC and on the mailing list for a while,
(someone had the good sense to point out that --for would defeat
command-line completion since it's a prefix of the proposed --format).
In spite of being implemented with the word "stash" in the function
names, the documentation (and hence help strings) for each function
already use the word "Copy" to describe the action. So 'c' is a much
more natural key-binding, (particularly since 'z' didn't map to any
real word anyway).
We also use 'i' for the message ID copying of the submap. This is
intended to align mnemonically with the "id:" prefix already used
for message IDs.
Provide key bindings for stuffing various RFC822 header fields and other metadata
into the emacs kill-ring as text. The bindings are as follows:
z F notmuch-show-stash-filename
z T notmuch-show-stash-tags
z c notmuch-show-stash-cc
z d notmuch-show-stash-date
z f notmuch-show-stash-from
z m notmuch-show-stash-message-id
z s notmuch-show-stash-subject
z t notmuch-show-stash-to
The previous version would crash when a key was bound to a sparse
keymap, since apparently these are not straightforward lists. The
usage of map-keymap is a bit obscure: it only has side-effects, no
return value.
Return the corresponding header field for the current message as a
string. These are thin wrappers around notmuch-show-get-header, which
means they each cause a full parse of the RFC822 header. The main idea
is to fix an api.
This function parses the displayed message to recover header
fields. It uses mailheader.el to do the actual header parsing, after
preprocessing to remove indentation. It relies on the variables
notmuch-show-message-begin-regexp, notmuch-show-header-begin-regexp,
and notmuch-show-message-end-regexp.
Eric reported that a particular thread was non-functional in the
notmuch-search mode in the emacs client. It was easy enough to trace
the bug down to a broken regular expression (using ':' instead of
';'). The bug would be triggered by a message with ':' in the
From address.
This is something I hope to add to the test suite as soon as we have
support for testing the emacs interface there.
We temporarily override the mm-inline-media-tests variable so that the
only parts inserted into the temporary buffer (and lost) are those
parts that the user has already seen in the notmuch-show buffer.
Anything else, (such as images), will now be left to be handled via
mailcap, just like other attachment types.
The infinite loop was triggered by a message consisting of a single
attachment within the body, (and no "part") tags.
We need to do things in response to this bug (beyond this specific
fix):
1. Create a test suite that exercises our emacs frontend so that bugs
like this do not come back to haunt us after we fix them once.
2. Switch from our ad-hoc regexp based search of message-part delimeters
to known-good code for parsing a structured document, (for example,
the outstanding JSON patches).
Now instead of requiring every single message be parsed, we now check
the Content-type in the parsed headers and only do HTML inlining if it's
text/html
Thanks to Michal Sojka <sojkam1@fel.cvut.cz> for pointing out the
correct fix, which I verified in the freely-available WG14/N1124 draft
(from the C99 working group) which is available here:
http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/wg14/www/docs/n1124.pdf
The sequential identifiers have the advantage of being guaranteed to
be unique (until we overflow a 64-bit unsigned integer), and also take
up half as much space in the "notmuch search" output (16 columns
rather than 32).
This change also has the side effect of fixing a bug where notmuch
could block on /dev/random at startup (waiting for some entropy to
appear). This bug was hit hard by the test suite, (which could easily
exhaust the available entropy on common systems---resulting in large
delays of the test suite).
This makes it easier to see folders with messages.
Eliding empty folders is togged with the 'e' binding.

This allows the user to compose new mail from the folder view, and
also to use <space> to show the current folder.

This is a fairly intrusive rewrite.
- I pulled the common code for the signature and citation case out
into a separate function. This is not so much shorter, but I think it
will be easier to maintain.
- I replaced the sequence of (looking-at blah) (forward-line) with a single
re-search-forward per citation.
New variables
- notmuch-show-signature-button-format, notmuch-show-citation-button-format
Allow customization of button text.
- notmuch-show-citation-lines-min
Do not buttonize citations below the given threshold.

It's a simple optimization to look at a message and check that the
existing tags are actually different than the tags we are setting
before we do anything.
For my mail store this takes a "notmuch restore" that does nothing
from about 10 minutes down to 1 minute, so there's a significant
speedup here.
