I discussed these on the list while wrapping up the 0.3 release. They
may not make it in for that, but I don't want to forget them at least.

2b49f4631c emacs: Fix to generate error if fcc directory is not a maildir
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.

932e1c165c Rearchitect From: header guessing code for replies
We want to be able to correctly guess the best From: header to use when
replying to emails. This is what we are looking at now:
 1 is one of the users' mail addresses in the To: or Cc: header
 2 check for an Envelope-to: header
 3 check for an X-Original-To: header
 4 check for a (for <email@add.res>) clause in Received: headers
 5 check for the domain part of known email addresses in the
      'by' part of Received headers
 6 fall back to the primary email address

This patch changes the algorithm for steps 2-5 of this process. Prior to
this patch we had a first attempt to implement only step 5 - but this
broke in many email setups where mail delivery to the local machine added
additional Received: lines.
Steps 2-4 are new, step 5 now analyzes the concatenated Received: header
(this was in the previous patch) to do this analysis.

5b8b0377cb Make Received: header special in notmuch_message_file_get_header
With this patch the Received: header becomes special in the way
we treat headers - this is the only header for which we concatenate
all the instances we find (instead of just returning the first one).

This will be used in the From guessing code for replies as we need to
be able to walk ALL of the Received: headers in a message to have a
good chance to guess which mailbox this email was delivered to.

4b34effca5 Integrate notmuch-fcc mechansim
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.

c000c4b394 notmuch-maildir-fcc: elisp syntax fixes
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.

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).

98cf886120 emacs: notmuch' should display the notmuch-hello' interface
Reviewed-by: Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org>

The notmuch-hello functionality is now sufficiently useful that we
want to make it the default view of notmuch for new users. This also
effectively hides the "hello" name from the user, so we'll be free to
change that in the implementation if necessary.

This change also shuffles the requires between notmuch.el and
notmuch-hello.el. This fixes things so that our documented (require
'notmuch) is sufficient for getting the notmuch-hello functionality.

Finally, the shuffling caused the notmuch-search-oldest-first variable
from one file to the other. While doing that, give this variable the
defcustom treatment for easier customization.

159b05fcaa emacs: Fix `notmuch-show-rewind' in the presence of invisible text
When determining whether or not to re-align the head of the current
message with the top of the window, use `count-screen-lines' rather
than `count-lines' to allow for invisible text in the preceding
message. When comparing that number of lines against
`next-screen-context-lines', realign if the number of lines of the
previous message visible is 'smaller than or equal to' rather than
just 'smaller than' to improve usability.

`defface' can be used to declare the different possible colours, which
depend on whether the frame has a light or dark background.
