cd19671f51 Simple attempt to display author names in a friendlier way
This patch only addresses the typical Outlook/Exchange case
where we have "Last, First" <first.last@company.com> or
"Last, First MI" <first.mi.last@company.com>.

In the future we should be more fexible as to the formats
we recognize, but for now we address this one as it is the
Exchange default setting and therefore the most common one.

26d8d960ee Reorder displayed names of thread authors
When displaying threads as result of a search it makes sense to list those
authors first who match the search. The matching authors are separated from the
non-matching ones with a '|' instead of a ','

Imagine the default "+inbox" query. Those mails in the thread that
match the query are actually "new" (whatever that means). And some
people seem to think that it would be much better to see those author
names first. For example, imagine a long and drawn out thread that once
was started by me; you have long read the older part of the thread and
removed the inbox tag. Whenever a new email comes in on this thread,
prior to this patch the author column in the search display will first show
"Dirk Hohndel" - I think it should first show the actual author(s) of the new
mail(s).

aadb15a002 query.cc: allow to return query results unsorted
Previously, we always sorted the returned results by some string value,
(newest-to-oldest by default), however in some cases (as when applying
tags to a search result) we are not interested in any special order.

This introduces a NOTMUCH_SORT_UNSORTED value that does just that. It is
not used at the moment anywhere in the code.

f43990ce13 thread: Fix sort of search when constructing threads.
The thread-naming feature depends on the matched messages being passed
down in a precise order, (the order of the top-level search). We fix
the feature by passing that sort order down.

36e4459a32 thread: Simplify code for assigning the subject.
We know that matched messages are always added in order, so we can
always just grab the subject from the first message. This is the same
approach that was used previously in _thread_add_message. That is, the
recent feature of renaming a thread based on the subject of the
"first" matched message is as simple as moving the subject assignment
from _thread_add_message to _thread_add_matched_message.

4971b85641 Name thread based on matching msgs instead of first msg.
At the moment all threads are named based on the name of the first message
in the thread. However, this can cause problems if people either start
new threads by replying-all (as unfortunately, many out there do) or
change the subject of their mails to reflect a shift in a thread on a
list.

This patch names threads based on (a) matches for the query, and (b) the
search order. If the search order is oldest-first (as in the default
inbox) it chooses the oldest matching message as the subject. If the
search order is newest-first it chooses the newest one.

Reply prefixes ("Re: ", "Aw: ", "Sv: ", "Vs: ") are ignored
(case-insensitively) so a Re: won't change the subject.

Note that this adds a "sort" argument to _notmuch_thread_create and
_thread_add_matched_message, so that when constructing the thread we can
be aware of the sort order.

c48dcc302c lib: search_threads: Fix nested search to handle original search of "*"
When constructing a thread, we usually run a nested query to find all
messages in the thread that match the original search string. However,
we need to have special-case handling of an original search string of
"*" now that that is a supported means of specifying all messages.

The special-case ends up bein quite simple---we do less work, (just
skipping the nested search since we know that all messages must
match). I had been wanting to write this identical code to more
efficiently handle "notmuch search thread:<foo>" which was previously
running two identical searches. So that case is now more efficient as
well.

449a418c65 Do not segfault on empty mime parts
notmuch previously unconditionally checked mime parts for various
properties, but not for NULL, which is the case if libgmime encounters
an empty mime part.

Upon encounter of an empty mime part, the following is printed to
stderr (the second line due to my patch):

  (process:17197): gmime-CRITICAL **: g_mime_message_get_mime_part: assertion `GMIME_IS_MESSAGE (message)' failed
  Warning: Not indexing empty mime part.

This is probably a bug that should get addressed in libgmime, but for
not, my patch is an acceptable workaround.

9ddde6eb14 Fix typo in notmuch.h documentation regarding database open modes
Reviewed-by: Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org>:

The original proposal for having different open modes used the name
WRITABLE. I didn't like that name, (easy to misspell as WRITEABLE even
for native English speakers). So we renamed it to READ_WRITE
immediately, but apparently some of the documentation held the old
name for a while.

40ea73cf05 Store thread ids for messages that we haven't seen yet
This allows us to thread messages even when we receive them out of
order, or never receive the root.

The thread ids for messages that aren't present but are referred to are
stored as metadata in the database and then retrieved if we ever get
that message.

When determining the thread id for a message we also check for this
metadata so that we can thread descendants of a message together before
we receive it.

f89b3d16db Makefiles: Eliminate the useless quiet_* functions.
With the original quiet function, there's an actual purpose (hiding
excessively long compiler command lines so that warnings and errors
from the compiler can be seen).

But with things like quiet_symlink there's nothing quieter. In fact
"SYMLINK" is longer than "ln -sf". So all this is doing is hiding the
actual command from the user for no real benefit.

The only actual reason we implemented the quiet_* functions was to be
able to neatly right-align the command name and left-align the arguments.

Let's give up on that, and just left-align everything, simplifying the
Makefiles considerably. Now, the only instances of a captialized command
name in the output is if there's some actually shortening of the command
itself.

tests the locally compiled library, and not whatever installled

86232e62ab Makefile: Fix Makefiles to depend on all child Makefile fragments.
We were previously maintaining two lists of the child Makefile
fragments---one for the includes and another for the dependencies. So,
of course, they drifted and the dependency list wasn't up to date.

We fix this by adding a single subdirs variable, and then using GNU
Makefile substitution to generate both the include and the dependency
lists.

Some side effect of this change caused the '=' assignment of the dir
variable to not work anymore. I'm not sure why that is, but using ':='
makes sense here and fixes the problem.
