This commit expands docstrings for notmuch-fcc-dirs and
notmuch-maildir-fcc-with-notmuch-insert to describe how quoted strings
are processed and make the ability to configure sent folders containing
whitespace more discoverable.
With all the preparation it is now simple to add the actual insert
code. Since insert can fail for many reasons we let the user decide
interactively deal with it.
We modify test-lib.el to set file fcc, so that all the old tests and
emacs_fcc_message from test-lib.sh still work
We will need our own local copy of message-do-fcc so this commit just
copies the code straight from message.el so that it is easier to see
our local changes coming in the next commit.
We move some code around in preparation for the use of notmuch
insert. In particular, we move the check for a valid maildir for the
fcc to when the message is sent rather than when the fcc header is
inserted. The main motivation is consistency with the insert version
(coming later) where we cannot check the validity until send.
We allow the user some chance to correct the header; the choice here
is intended to be consistent with the insert version to come.
Previously we globally modified these variables, which tended to cause
problems for people using message-mode, but not notmuch-mua-mail, to
send mail.
User visible changes:
- Calling notmuch-fcc-header-setup is no longer optional. OTOH, it
seems to do the right thing if notmuch-fcc-dirs is set to nil.
- The Fcc header is visible during message composition
- The name in the mode line is changed, and no longer matches exactly
the menu label.
- Previously notmuch-mua-send-and-exit was never called. Either we
misunderstood define-mail-user-agent, or it had a bug. So there was
no difference if the user called message-send-and-exit directly. Now
there will be.
- User bindings to C-c C-c and C-c C-s in message-mode-map are
overridden. The user can override them in notmuch-message-mode-map,
but then they're on their own for Fcc handling.
Previously, the timestamp at the beginning of the FCC unique maildir
name was derived incorrectly, thanks to an integer overflow. This
changes the derivation of timestamp to use a float, and so will get
the number correct at least until 2038. (It is still formatted with
"%d" so it will show up as an integer.) Should we need to change it in
the next 26 years to take the unix millenium into account, it will be
invisible to users.
This change is mostly a question of consistency, since the unique name
is arbitrary anyway. But since most people use timestamps, and that was
the original intention here as well, we might as well.

To allow for expansion whilst keeping everything tidy and organized,
move all defcustom/defface variables to the following subgroups,
defined in notmuch-lib.el:
- Hello
- Search
- Show
- Send
- Crypto
- Hooks
- External Commands
- Appearance
As an added benefit, defcustom keyword args are now consistently
ordered as they appear @ defcustom's docstring (OCD much?).

This error occurs when `notmuch-fcc-dirs' is set to a list. The error
was in the `notmuch-fcc-dirs' format check which was changed in an
incompatible way from 0.4 to 0.5.

For message-fetch-field the buffer is expected to be narrowed to
just the header of the message. That is not the case when
notmuch-fcc-header-setup is run, hence a wrong header value may be
returned. E.g. when forwarding an
email, (message-fetch-field "From") returns the From header value
of the forwarded email.
Message-field-value is the same as message-fetch-field, only
narrows the buffer to the headers first.

Appease the test suite by using the true name for the Fcc directory
path, otherwise a value for `notmuch-database-path' which includes
symbolic links causes test suite failures.
Re-work the declaration and definition of `notmuch-fcc-dirs'. The
variable now allows three types of values:
- nil: no Fcc header is added,
- a string: the value of `notmuch-fcc-dirs' is the name of the
folder to use,
- a list: the folder is chosen based on the From address of the
current message using a list of regular expressions and
corresponding folders:
((\"Sebastian@SSpaeth.de\" . \"privat\")
(\"spaetz@sspaeth.de\" . \"OUTBOX.OSS\")
(\".*\" . \"defaultinbox\"))
If none of the regular expressions match the From address, no
Fcc header will be added.
Call notmuch-fcc-header-setup from message-header-setup-hook rather
than message-send-hook. This allows you to see what's going to
happen, and to make manual adjustments if desired. Gnus does
something similar.

Now that the FCC code is fixed to use the notmuch database path, we can
actually enable this by default, which should be highly useful for all
new users of notmuch.
Otherwise, FCC is too hard to use, (user must set it and also set message-
directory variable to match notmuch mail datbase path). As a rule, I'd like
for users of notmuch to not be required to muck around with non-notmuch
mail settings in emacs.
The above is only really possible now thanks to the recent addition of the
"notmuch config get" command which allows emacs to query the currently
configured notmuch database path.
This also now allows an absolute-path FCC to be set if desired.
In the common case that a user only has one FCC (save outgoing mail in
the Mail directory, it is now possible to simply configure a string
such as "Sent" in the notmuch-fcc-dirs variable. More complex options,
depending on a users email address, are possible and described in the
variable customization help text.
The whole function notmuch-fcc-header-setup has been cleaned up a
little while working on that.

The fcc code would only initialize if notmuch-fcc-dirs was set. This was
a problem if you reset the variable, or added the variable later during
initialization. Now we always add the fcc hook, but it doesn't do
anything unless notmuch-fcc-dirs are set.
If the user specifies a maildir that does not exist, prompt the user to
see whether a maildir should be created. This will fail, with the
relevant explanation, if the location is not writable, or if a file
already exists in that location. If the location is a dir, but not a
maildir, this will add /tmp/cur/new to it.
Throw an error after the maildir is generated but before the message
is sent. This change allows the user to edit the maildir if it fails,
so that it will point to a correct place.
Note that this changes the previous behavior which always overwrote
the existing Fcc line. Now, an Fcc line is only auto-generated if
there isn't one already there.
The ideal change would be to prompt to create a maildir. This should
enable a place for doing that in a future patch.
Previously this was just a message that was almost impossible for the
user to see. Now, the user gets to see the error message, and is
presented with a buffer that actually contains the Fcc header of
interest.
I have gone wild and added a defcustom "notmuch-fcc-dirs".
Depending on the value of that variable we will not do any
maildir fcc at all (nil, the default), or it is of the format
(("defaultsentbox")
("full name <email@address>" . "Work/sentbox")
("full name2 <email2@address2>" . "Work2/sentbox"))
The outbox name will be concatenated with the message mode
variable "message-directory" which is "~/Mail/" by default.

1)use insert-buffer-substring
Rather than the insert-buffer. Emacs complains that it is for interactive use
and not for use within elisp. So use insert-buffer-substring which does the
same thing when not handed any 'begin' 'end' parameters.
2)replace caddr with (car (cdr (cdr)))
The former requires 'cl to be loaded and during make install emacs complained
about not knowing it.
