Sanitize tabs and newlines to spaces rather than question marks in
--output=summary --format=text output.
This will also hide any difference in unfolding a header that has been
folded with a tab. Our own header parser replaces tabs with spaces,
while gmime would retain the tab.
The printf builtin "%(fmt)T" specifier (which allows time values
to use strftime-like formatting) is introduced in bash 4.2.
Trying to execute this in pre-4.2 bash will fail -- and if this
happens execute the fallback piece of perl code to do the same thing.
The test names assigned to NOTMUCH_SKIP_TESTS variable can now be given
with or without the Tddd- prefix for tester convenience:
The test name without Tddd -prefix stays constant even when test filenames
are renumbered.
The test name with Tddd -prefix is printed out when tests run.
According the semantics of make, the expansion of $(dir) in recipes
uses dynamic scope, i.e. the value at the time the recipe is run. This
means if test/Makefile.local is not the last sub-makefile included,
all heck breaks loose.
At some point we decided to only install bash completion for notmuch
if the bash-completion file was present. Add the corresponding debian
build dependency.
Previously, we stripped the "Tnnn-" part from the test name when
printing its description at the beginning of each test. However, this
makes it difficult to find the source script for a test (e.g., when a
test fails). Put this prefix back.
Currently notmuch-show-pipe-message runs the command in the working
directory of the *notmuch-pipe* buffer if it exists, and the current
buffer's working directory (which is inherited to the new
*notmuch-pipe* buffer) otherwise. This is all very surprising to the
user, and it's difficult to know or change where the command will be
run.
Always use the current show buffer's working directory for piping. The
user can check that with M-x pwd and change it with M-x cd. This is
consistent with notmuch-show-pipe-part.
`notmuch-mua-prompt-for-sender' is over-engineered and often wrong.
It attempts to detect when all identities have the same name and
specialize the prompt to just the email address part. However, to do
this it uses `mail-extract-address-components', which is meant for
displaying email addresses, not general-purpose parsing, and hence
performs many canonicalizations that can interfere with this use. For
example, configuring notmuch-identities to ("Austin
<austin@example.com>"), will cause `notmuch-mua-prompt-for-sender' to
lose the name part entirely and return " <austin@example.com>".
This patch rewrites `notmuch-mua-prompt-for-sender' to simply prompt
for a full identity when notmuch-identities is configured, or to
prompt for a sender address when it isn't.
The original code also did several strange things, like using `eval'
and specifying that this function was interactive. As a side-effect,
this patch fixes these problems. And it adds a docstring.
Since a newline starts a new query in batch mode, this causes
mysterious crashes in the emacs interface if saved searches contain
newlines. See the discussion at
id:87wqhcxb5j.fsf@maritornes.cs.unb.ca
In general newlines seem to be just whitespace to the xapian query
parser, so this should be mainly harmless.
The example was originally intended to have a literal backslash in it, but
'\ ' is interpreted by nroff as a non-breaking space.
It doesn't make much difference to the example, but the non-breaking
space triggers a bug in doclifter.
When "notmuch config" is called with the name of an empty or
unconfigured setting, it prints nothing (not even a new line).
Previously, `notmuch-config-get' assumed it would always print a
newline. As a result, when `notmuch-config-get' was called with the
name of an empty of unconfigured setting, it would attempt to
(substring "" 0 -1) to strip the newline, which would fail with a
(args-out-of-range "" 0 -1) exception.
Fix this by only stripping the newline if there actually is one.
Previously, we used `message-forward' to build forwarded messages, but
this function is simply too high-level to be a good fit for some of
what we do.
First, since `message-forward' builds a full forward message buffer
given the message to forward, we have to duplicate much of the logic
in `notmuch-mua-mail' to patch the notmuch-y things into the built
buffer.
Second, `message-forward' constructs the From header from
user-full-name and user-mail-address. As a result, if we prompt the
user for an identity, we have to parse it into name and address
components, just to have it put back together by `message-forward'.
This process is not entirely loss-less because
`mail-extract-address-components' does a lot of canonicalization
(since it's intended for displaying addresses, not for parsing them).
To fix these problems, don't use `message-forward' at all.
`message-forward' itself is basically just a call to `message-mail'
and `message-forward-make-body'. Do this ourselves, but call
`notmuch-mua-mail' instead of `message-mail' so we can directly build
a notmuch-y message and control the From header.
This also fixes a bug that was a direct consequence of our use of
`mail-extract-address-components': if the user chose an identity that
had no name part (or the name part matched the mailbox), we would bind
user-full-name to nil, which would cause an exception in the bowels of
message-mode because user-full-name is expected to always be a string
(even if it's just "").
Python dict() object does not have __values__() function which
OrderedDict().values() (the stub provided in nmbug-status) could call
to provide ordered list of values. By renaming this thinko to
values() will make our stub work as expected -- dict items listed out
in order those were added to the dictionary.
Previously, we updated .eldeps only if the file contents actually
needed to change. This was done to avoid unnecessary make restarts
(if the .eldeps rule changes the mtime of .eldeps, make has to restart
to collect the new dependencies). However, this meant that, after a
modification to any .el file that did not change dependencies, .eldeps
would always be out of date, so every make invocation would run the
.eldeps rule, which is both expensive because it starts up Emacs and
noisy. This was true even when there was nothing to do. E.g.,
$ make clean && make
...
$ touch emacs/notmuch-lib.el && make
...
$ make
Use "make V=1" to see the verbose compile lines.
EMACS emacs/.eldeps
make: Nothing to be done for `all'.
$ make
Use "make V=1" to see the verbose compile lines.
EMACS emacs/.eldeps
make: Nothing to be done for `all'.
Fix this by replacing .eldeps with two files with identical content.
One tracks the mtime of the dependency information and triggers the
Emacs call to rebuild dependencies only when it may be necessary. The
other tracks the content only; this rule over-triggers in the same way
the old rule did, but this rule is cheap and quiet.
From Christian Hofstaedler, Debian bug 739120:
When ruby-defaults > 1:2.0 will be uploaded to sid, the version of
Ruby provided by the 'ruby' and 'ruby-dev' packages will change to
version 2.0. This version change includes a change to the path for
binary extensions.
This patch works for Ruby 1.9.1 as well as Ruby 2.0, so it's safe to
apply now.
Searching by Message-Id no longer works via the old mail-archive.com
API, though I have contacted them in hopes that they restore it to
prevent dead links. Anyway, the new API is cleaner.

David [1] and Tomi [2] both feel that the user's choice of LANG is not
explicit enough to have such a strong effect on nmbug-status. For
example, cron jobs usually default to LANG=C, and that is going to
give you ASCII output:
$ LANG=C python -c 'import locale; print(locale.getpreferredencoding())'
ANSI_X3.4-1968
Trying to print Unicode author names (and other strings) in that
encoding would crash nmbug-status with a UnicodeEncodeError. To avoid
that, this patch hardcodes UTF-8, which can handle generic Unicode,
and is the preferred encoding (regardless of LANG settings) for
everyone who has chimed in on the list so far. I'd prefer trusting
LANG, but in the absence of any users that prefer non-UTF-8 encodings
I'm fine with this approach.
While we could achieve the same effect on the output content by
dropping the previous patch (nmbug-status: Encode output using the
user's locale), Tomi also wanted UTF-8 hardcoded as the config-file
encoding [2]. Keeping the output encoding patch and then adding this
to hardcode both the config-file and output encodings at once seems
the easiest route, now that fd29d3f (nmbug-status: Decode Popen output
using the user's locale, 2014-02-10) has landed in master.

Instead of always writing UTF-8, allow the user to configure the
output encoding using their locale. This is useful for previewing
output in the terminal, for poor souls that don't use UTF-8 locales
;).
We already had the tbody with a blank row separating threads (which is
not colored); this commit adds a bit of spacing to separate messages
within a thread. It will also add a bit of colored padding above the
first message and below the final message, but the main goal is to add
padding *between* two-row message blocks.
<--- new padding
thread-1, message-1, row-1 (class="message-first")
thread-1, message-1, row-2 (class="message-last")
<--- new padding

<--- new padding
thread-2, message-1, row-1 (class="message-first")
thread-2, message-1, row-2 (class="message-last")
<--- new padding

thread-2, message-2, row-1 (class="message-first")

Support for dirent.d_type is OS-specific. Previously, we used
_DIRENT_HAVE_D_TYPE to detect support for this, but this is apparently
a glic-ism (FreeBSD, for example, supports d_type, but does not define
this). Since there's no cross-platform way to detect support for
dirent.d_type, detect it using a test compile at configure time.
'message-id' and 'from' now have sensitive characters escaped using
xml.sax.saxutils.escape [1]. The 'subject' data was already being
converted to a link into Gmane; I've escape()d that too, so it doesn't
need to be handled ain the same block as 'message-id' and 'from'.
This prevents broken HTML by if subjects etc. contain characters that
would otherwise be interpreted as HTML markup.

Also allow manual id overrides from the JSON config. Sluggin avoids
errors like:
Bad value '#Possible bugs' for attribute href on element a:
Whitespace in fragment component. Use %20 in place of spaces.
from http://validator.w3.org.
I tried just quoting the titles (e.g. 'Possible%20bugs'), but that
didn't work (at least with Firefox 24.2.0). Slugging avoids any
ambiguity over when the quotes are expanded in the client. The specs
are unclear about quoting, saying only [1]:
Value: Any string, with the following restrictions:
must be at least one character long
must not contain any space characters
[1]: http://dev.w3.org/html5/markup/global-attributes.html#common.attrs.id
HTML 5 for the win :). I also de-namespaced the language; the HTML 5
spec allows a vestigial xml:lang attribute, but it's a no-op [1], so I
stripped it.

Tomi Ollila and David Bremner (and presumably others) are running
Python 2.6 on their nmbug-status boxes, so it makes sense to keep
support for that version. This commit adds a really minimal
OrderedDict stub (e.g. it doesn't handle key removal), but it gets the
job done for Page._get_threads. Once we reach a point where Python
2.6 is no longer important (it's already out of it's security-fix
window [1]), we can pull this stub back out.

I was having trouble understanding the logic of the longish print_view
function, so I refactored the output generation into modular bits.
The basic text rendering is handled by Page, which has enough hooks
that HtmlPage can borrow the logic and slot-in HTML generators.
By modularizing the logic it should also be easier to build other
renderers if folks want to customize the layout for other projects.
Timezones
=========
This commit has not effect on the output, except that some dates have
been converted from the sender's timezone to UTC due to:
- val = m.get_header(header)
- ...
- if header == 'date':
- val = str.join(' ', val.split(None)[1:4])
- val = str(datetime.datetime.strptime(val, '%d %b %Y').date())
...
+ value = str(datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(
+ message.get_date()).date())
I also tweaked the HTML header date to be utcnow instead of the local
now() to make all times independent of the generator's local time.
This matches Gmane, which converts all Date headers to UTC (although
they use a 'GMT' suffix). Notmuch uses
g_mime_utils_header_decode_date to calculate the UTC timestamps, but
uses a NULL tz_offset which drops the information we'd need to get
back to the sender's local time [1]. With the generator's local time
arbitrarily different from the sender's and viewer's local time,
sticking with UTC seems the best bet.
[1]: https://developer.gnome.org/gmime/stable/gmime-gmime-utils.html#g-mime-utils-header-decode-date
Make this all one big string, using '...{date}...'.format(date=...) to
inject the date [1]. This syntax was added in Python 2.6, and is
preferred to %-formatting in Python 3 [1].

The database in only used for notmuch.Query, so there's no need for
