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.
If Xapian sees unquoted ".." as in id:123..456 then it thinks that's a
range specification. We avoid this problem by instead passing
id:"123..456" to Xapian.
That is, a subject with a bracketed set of digits (and optionally a
slash), for example "[2010]" would cause the emacs code to misparse
the search results. Fix this by tweaking the regular expression.
We extend the '|' command so that passing a prefix argument, (for
example, "C-u |"), causes it to pipe all open messages in the current
thread rather than just the single, current message.
This was previously wrapped for unsubtituted command names. It looks
much better in the notmuch-help (available with '?') if wrapped
according to the length of the substituted command names.
Rather than discarding authors when truncated to fit the defined
column width, mark the text beyond the end of the column as invisible
and allow `isearch' to be used over the text so hidden.
This allows us to retain the compact display whilst enabling a user to
find the elided text.
Add `notmuch-show-relative-dates' to control whether the summary line
in `notmuch-show' mode displays relative dates (e.g. '26 mins. ago') or
the full date string from the message. Default to `t' for
compatibility with the previous behaviour.
Shift-TAB is standard "opposite" of TAB -- in GUI interfaces they
typically cycle through input elements in opposite orders -- so it
makes sense to behave the same way.

Insert a separator every three digits when outputting numbers. Allow
the user to choose the separator by customizing
`notmuch-decimal-separator'. Widen the space allocated for message
counts accordingly.
This lets us pick up later changes to widget-keymap if the user
customizes it in some way. This is the recommended way to use
`widget-keymap', according to its help.
This enables the nifty '?' key binding to work in notmuch-hello

specific key bindings yet. Not sure how that is supposed to work
though.
But this starts, runs and behaves identical to the existing code.

In notmuch-mua-reply we were filtering out the Subject and To headers
manually in a loop, but message mode offers a nice function for
exactly that. Simplify the code by using it. Also, as notmuch-mua-mail
already sorts and hides headers that we want sorted and hidden, we can
safely remove those 2 functions from here as well. Also remove the
(require 'cl), the only reason for its existence was the now removed
"loop" function.

Add `notmuch-column-control', which has three potential sets of
values:
- t: automatically calculate the number of columns per line based on
the tags to be shown and the window width,
- an integer: a lower bound on the number of characters that will be
used to display each column,
- a float: a fraction of the window width that is the lower bound on
the number of characters that should be used for each column.
So:
- if you would like two columns of tags, set this to 0.5.
- if you would like a single column of tags, set this to 1.0.
- if you would like tags to be 30 characters wide, set this to
30.
- if you don't want to worry about all of this nonsense, leave
this set to `t'.

In the common case that a user only has one FCC (save outgoing mail in

The fcc code would only initialize if notmuch-fcc-dirs was set. This was

Add a (require 'notmuch-message) to notmuch.el. This is for functions that
specifically target message mode (and, in the future, notmuch-message

Add `notmuch-message-mark-replied', a function for automatically tagging
replied messages with user-defined tags. The tags (which can be either
added or removed) can be customized with the customization variable
`notmuch-message-replied-tags'. This is a simple list of strings. Any
string prefaced with a "-" will be removed; any string prefaced with a "+"
(or neither "+" nor "-") will be added.
This adds a new file notmuch-message.el, for functions which target
message mode (and in the future, notmuch-message mode). Based on some
conversation, notmuch-message.el will probably end up subsuming
notmuch-mua.el, but until we figure out exactly how we want to do that,
they will remain separate files.

The fix in 1e18711543 broke end-of-row

improve the readability of the matrix reflection code to hasten future
debugging.
If the 'all tags' section of the hello buffer will not be shown, don't
consider those tags when determining the number of saved searches that
can be displayed on a single line.
Re-working the saved search/tag insertion to buttonize only the name
of the saved search/tag plus one space broke the calculation of how
much filler is required to complete the column, resulting in lines
wider than the window.
It's possible that the user has instructed message-mode to use some
other separator. If so, then that's what we should look for when
looking for the signature.
Thanks to David Edmondson <dme@dme.org> for pointing this out.
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.
The complete-string matching of commit
f2ebe3ac44
defeats the substitution of partial search
strings when the user manually types a
long search string that just happens to
partially match a saved search.
For example, typing "tag:inbox and not tag:foo"
should result in "[inbox] and not tag:foo" but
this has been broken since that commit.
As a compromise between this feature and what the
commit was trying to achieve, we now reverse the
saved-searches list before looking for a match.
This happens to work for me, but won't necessarily
work in general.
What we really want is the longest match, but rassoc-if
just gives us the first match. All of this is just about
creating slightly nice search-buffer names. So if anyone
really cares about making the names *even* nicer, then
they could improve this further.
I happen to have a lot of saved searches that are variants of the
tag:inbox search, (such as "tag:inbox and tag:notmuch"). The logic for
these was always matching inbox first, resulting in "[ inbox ] and
tag:notmuch" rather than "notmuch" as desired.
Anchor the regular expression on both ends to make it look harder for
the better match.
We are asserting that the new notmuch-hello implementation, (available
by just calling `notmuch') is just as easy to use as the old
notmuch-folder. So let's remove what's now a largely redundant
implementation.
To make this transition easier, we are still supporting the
notmuch-folders variable name, and we still provide `notmuch-folder'
as an alias which can be invoked to get the new notmuch-hello
functionality.
Previously, this was calling into a notmuch-folder-count
function. Only, everything related to notmuch-folder is about to go
away, so lets have notmuch-hello define its own function
(notmuch-saved-search-count) for this purpose.
We use this function to abstract away the common 3-step process for
looking for a value for the saved-searches variable:
1. Look at the notmuch-saved-searches variable itself
2. Look at the notmuch-folders vaiable
3. Use a default value
We were already using this logic (open-coded) in notmuch-hello, but
notmuch.el was accessing notmuch-folders directly for the clever name
selection of search buffers.
I'm planning to rip out the notmuch-folder-mode completely. So as a
token kindness to existing users of notmuch-folders, I'm at least
making notmuch-hello support the notmuch-folders variable name as an
alternate for the new name of notmuch-saved-searches.
We've recently changed things so that the notmuch-hello screen is the
default view one gets by executing `notmuch'. So hide the "hello" name
from everything exposed in the customize interface, (leaving "hello"
as just an internal name within the implementation).
After the previous commit, toggling the visibility of tags could
result in notmuch-hello aborting with:
Wrong type argument: wholenump, -1
At least, the error only occurred for me when making tags visible. But
that may be because my longest tag name is longer than my longest
saved-search name.
After isearching for an entire saved-search name, the point will be
immediately after that name in the buffer. Before commit
c9ba61bebe the space right after the
name was part of the widget so the user could press RET right after
the isearch to activate the saved search.
The above commit broke that functionality. Restore it by including a
single space after each name as part of the widget.
And off by default. There's a notmuch-hello-show-tags option in
customize to toggle the default setting, as well as buttons to
persistently toggle the visibility for the current session.
I have enough tags in my database that it's quite a bit faster for
notmuch-hello to come up without showing the tags.
Previously, we preserved the current position only when returning to
the notmuch-hello buffer or when refreshing it. Fix to also preserve
the position when directly invoking notmuch-hello, (such as from a
global keybinding).
This give us a useful active widget by default, ("inbox"), and
otherwise gives the first saved search in the user's customized
list. Not having point on the search bar means that the various
keybindings are all available.
This command was previously written under the fragile assumption that
the search bar was always the third widget. That's no longer true with
the saved searches now appearing before the search bar, so we save the
position of the search bar and go directly to it now.
Once users start using saved searches regularly, it's expected that
these will become the primary access points to mail. So give them a
priority position in the buffer.
When we go into a search, and then later quit and return to the
notmuch-hello buffer, we want the point to remain in the same position
it was in when we left. So we have to call the position-remembering
notmuch-hello-update rather than notmuch-hello from the continuation.
Before refreshing, we check which widget we are currently on, (or look
for the next widget), and then we watch for that same widget to go by
when constructing the buffer contents. Finally, we jump to the
position we saw when the widget went by.
Previously, trailing spaces after each saved-search name were included
as part of the widget. This is going to be problematic for a future
change that will extract the widget's value and compare it to the
configured names of saved searches.
Instead, just include the name itself in the widget, and then insert
the spaces for separation afterwards.
The existing code inserts the signature before inserting the message
body (which it puts at the very end of the buffer - therefore AFTER
the signature). This little snippet makes us search backwards and
insert the message body before a signature, if it exists.
This also fixes a small indentation issue in David's code.

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.

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.
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.
For composing new messages and forwarding, leave the cursor on the

Set `buffer-invisibility-spec' to `nil' (a list) if it is just `t'
before inserting any body parts, otherwise removing items from
`buffer-invisibility-spec' (which is what
`notmuch-show-headers-visible' and `notmuch-show-message-visible' do)
is a no-op and has no effect. This caused threads with only matching
messages to have those messages hidden initially because

The notmuch logo uses transparency. That can display poorly when

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

Enable `notmuch-wash-tidy-citations' and
`notmuch-wash-compress-blanks' by default by adding them to

If `notmuch-wash-wrap-long-lines' is enabled, word wrapping of the

to disable it and add it to the list of `notmuch-show-mode' hook
functions.
Add an `isearch-open-invisible' property to the overlays used to hide

This isn't ideal for me personally, since I usually want to inovke a
saved search rather than entering a new search textually. But it's at
least better than just putting point in the upper-left corner where it
doesn't do anything.
And similarly for notmuch-show-headers-visible to
notmuch-message-headers-visible.
I've never liked notmuch-show as a namespace prefix, but it looks
especially bad when it appears as "Notmuch Show Headers Visible" in
the customize buffer. Give nicer names to these variables which are

A tool `notmuch-addresses' is required to produce addresses which

There are no doubt others.
The function was named and documented incorrectly before, saying that
it would "change the visibility of all messages". Instead it only
opens the messages that are closed---it doesn't simultanesously close
the messages that are open. (Granted, nobody would *want* that
behavior I don't think, but the naming was confusing before.)
`notmuch-show-toggle-all' changes the visibility all of the messages
in the current thread. By default it makes all of the messages
visible. With a prefix argument, it makes them all not visible.
Commit 44982ab332 added some extra
quoting when constructing a search. A previous version of this patch
had used single-quotation marks (') while this version used
double-quotation marks (").
The intent of the extra quoting was to allow notmuch-command to be set
to a script invoking ssh.
What actually happens, however is that the extra quotation marks make
it all the way into the query string seen by Xapian. And the double
quotes trigger phrase searching, (which isn't desired here). The
side-effect of that is that the emacs code would fallback to an
unqalified query and display all threads with all messages open.
We fix that side-effect now by using single-quote characters, but
we'll want a better fix in the future to avoid Xapian seeing these
characters at all I think.
