"ju" reported on IRC that browsing
https://nmbug.notmuchmail.org/nmweb/show/20160719094205.qmf5sjnja6crt5t3%40gotlib
crashed. The underlying issue is that python3 defaults to utf8
decoding files unless they are opened in binary mode. The file in
question (in the nmbug archive; it depends a bit on the routing the
message took) has
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
and some of it is not valid utf8.
Originally contributed by Brian Sniffen [1]. Quite a few unpublished
fixes from Daniel Kahn Gilmour. We've been running it a few years now
as the "official" archive of the notmuch mailing list. There also a
few fixes from myself and Austin Ray. Finally I converted it to the
new python bindings.
This commit squashes the several years of development history and
moves it under devel, in recognition of the now established role it
plays in the project infrastructure.
