This patch allows for different flags, internal to notmuch, to be set on a
message object. The patch does not define any such flags, just the
facilities to manage these flags.

This command only generates References, To, and Cc headers.
The purpose is primarily for use in
git send-email --notmuch id:<MESSAGE-ID>
to get proper threading and address the relevant parties. Hooks for
other SCMs may come later.

Rather than tagging the everything in the thread. This is arguably more
desirable behavior and is consistent with clearly desirably behavior of
notmuch-search-operate-all.
Note that this change applies indirectly to
notmuch-search-archive-thread (which is actually equivalent behavior
since this function is primarily used when browsing an inbox).

It is often convenient to change tags on several messages at once. This
function applies any number of tag whitespace-delimited tag
modifications to all messages matching the current query.
I have bound this to `*'.

Make sure we use notmuch-search-oldest-first to decide the how
the search result should be displayed. This helps to set the
value to nil and have latest mail shown first

When removing a tag from a message or thread, build a completion buffer
which contains only tags that the message or thread has really set.

This patch adds support for search-terms to 'notmuch search-tags'. If
no search-term is provided then the command returns a list of all tags
from the database.
If the user provides one or more search-terms as arguments then the
command collects tags from matching messages only.
This could be used by functions in the Emacs mode to further limit the
list of tags offered for completion. For example, functions that remove
tags from message(s) could offer only tags present in the message(s).

This patch adds a new function that can be used to collect a list of
unique tags from a list of messages. 'notmuch search-tags' uses the
function to get a list of tags from messages matching a search-term,
but it has the potential to be used elsewhere so we put it in the lib.

Several commands ask the user for a tag name. With this feature the
user can just press tab and Emacs automatically retrieves the list of
all existing tags from notmuch database with 'notmuch search-tags' and
presents a completion buffer to the user.
This feature is very useful for users who have a large number of tags
because it saves typing and minimizes the risk of typos.

This is a new notmuch command that can be used to search for all tags
found in the database. The resulting list is alphabetically sorted.
The primary use-case for this new command is to provide the tag
completion feature in Emacs (and other interfaces).

This patch adds a new function called notmuch_database_get_all_tags
which can be used to obtain a list of all tags from the database
(in other words, the list contains all tags from all messages). The
function produces an alphabetically sorted list.
To add support for the new function, we rip the guts off of
notmuch_message_get_tags and put them in a new generic function
called _notmuch_convert_tags. The generic function takes a
Xapian::TermIterator as argument and uses the iterator to find tags.
This makes the function usable with different Xapian objects.
Function notmuch_message_get_tags is then reimplemented to call the
generic function with message->doc.termlist_begin() as argument.
Similarly, we implement notmuch_message_database_get_all_tags, the
function calls the generic function with db->xapian_db->allterms_begin()
as argument.
Finally, notmuch_database_get_all_tags is exported through
lib/notmuch.h

This fixes a small bug in notmuch_setup_command such that it returned
OK and output the setup message footer even if the config file write
step failed.
We want to allow the user to be able to use search expressions with
parentheses and semi-colons, etc. and we definitely don't want the
shell interpreting those!
Previously, our emacs interface was waiting for the "notmuch search"
to complete before it would display anything. Now, we execute the
process asyncrhonously and filter results as they come in.
This takes advantage of the recent work to make "notmuch search"
results stream out steadily. The result is that some search results
will be available nearly instantly and the user can navigate and view
those while additional results continue loading.
Xapian provides an interator-based interface to all search results.
So it was natural to make notmuch_messages_t be iterator-based as
well. Which we did originally.
But we ran into a problem when we added two APIs, (_get_replies and
_get_toplevel_messages), that want to return a messages iterator
that's *not* based on a Xapian search result. My original compromise
was to use notmuch_message_list_t as the basis for all returned
messages iterators in the public interface.
This had the problem of introducing extra latency at the beginning
of a search for messages, (the call would block while iterating over
all results from Xapian, converting to a message list).
In this commit, we remove that initial conversion and instead provide
two alternate implementations of notmuch_messages_t (one on top of a
Xapian iterator and one on top of a message list).
With this change, I tested a "notmuch search" returning *many* results
as previously taking about 7 seconds before results started appearing,
and now taking only 2 seconds.
Having actually implemented this, I realized that my
initial approach of providing a function to configure
a button was wrong. Instead I've replaced that with
button types. This then makes it possible to provide
the fully expanded view when all threads in a message
are unread.
It also has the potential to allow global-expansion functions
if that is desireable
This is the same as with citations and signatures.
I used an ellipsis here for the invisible region, which
I think make it more obvious that there are extra headers.
MH-e used this for extra long To/CC headers.
Previously, notmuch_query_search_threads would do all the work, so the
caller would block until all results were processed. Now, we do the
work as we go, as the caller iterates with notmuch_threads_next. This
means that once results start coming back from "notmuch search" they
just keep continually streaming.
There's still some initial blocking before the first results appear
because the notmuch_messages_t object has the same bug (for now).
This was a poor workaround around the fact that the existing
notmuch_threads_t object is implemented poorly. It's got a fine
iterartor-based interface, but the implementation does all of the
work up-front in _create rather than doing the work incrementally
while iterating.
So to start fixing this, first get rid of all the hacks we had working
around this. This drops the --first and --max-threads options from the
search command, (but hopefully nobody was using them
anyway---notmuch.el certainly wasn't).
The domain is alway case insensitive, but in principle the username is
case sensitive. Few systems actually enforce this so I think a good
default is to treat the entire address as case insensitive, it will
eliminate a lot of superfluous self-addressed messages and reply from
the correct address in these cases.

This way, the user gets a steady (but bursty) stream of reults. We
double the chunk size each time since each successive chunk has to
redo work from all previous chunks.
Of course, the overall time is thereby slower, as the price we pay for
increased responsiveness. With a search returning about 17000 thread
results I measured a total time of 48.8 seconds before this change and
58.4 seconds afterwards.
The rudimentary aspect here is that the date ranges are specified with
UNIX timestamp values (number of seconds since 1970-01-01 UTC). One
thing that can help here is using the date program to determins
timestamps, such as:
$(date +%s -d 2009-10-01)..$(date +%s)
Long-term, we'll probably need to do our own query parsing to be able
to support directly-specified dates and also relative expressions like
"since:'2 months ago'".
Folder mode takes a (user-configurable) list of search patterns and
produces a list of those patterns and the count of messages that they
match. When an entry in this list is selected, a search window with
the defined search is opened. The set of folders is defined as a
list, each element contains the name of the folder and the query string
to count.

Getting the count of matching threads or messages is a fairly
expensive operation. Xapian provides a very efficient mechanism that
returns an approximate value, so use that for this new command.
This returns the number of matching messages, not threads, as that is
cheap to compute.

When running "notmuch new --verbose", ANSI escapes are used. This may not be
desirable when the output of the command is *not* being sent to a terminal
(e.g. when piping output into another command). In that case each file
processed is printed in a new line and ANSI escapes are not used at all.
I configured my database.path with a trailing /, and after running notmuch
new every notmuch search would fail with error messages like this:
Error opening /inbox/cur/1258565257.000211.mbox:2,S: No such file or directory
The actual bug was in the filename normalization for storage in the
database. The database.path was removed from the full filename, but if
the database.path from the config file contained a trailing /, the
relative file name would retain an extra leading /... which made it look
like an absolute path after it was read out from the DB.

I had these notes sitting in an uncommitted file that was cluttering
up my "git status" output. This cleans that up, and also shares the
ideas with the wider community.
This ensures that make clean always proceeds, even if the user
accidentally creates a file named 'clean'. Also, it ignores errors in
rm and other commands.

When you compose a new message, message mode carefully inserts your
mail signature at the bottom of the message; as notmuch constructs the
reply all by itself, this doesn't happen then. Use the message mode
function 'message-insert-signature' to add that to reply buffers.
