Use varying dates in the test messages to test the order authors are
listed in. Add tests with repeated author names and unusual date
ordering. Most of these are broken at the moment, but will be fixed
shortly.
Edited-by: Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org>: Also update the expected
results for existing emacs tests that currently codify the incorrect
author ordering, (and similarly note them as broken in the current
test suite).
Incremental search does not match strings that span a
visible/invisible boundary. This results in failure to correctly
isearch for authors in `notmuch-search' mode if the name of the author
is split between the visible and invisible components of the authors
string. To avoid this, attempt to truncate the visible component of
the authors string on a boundary between authors, such that the
entirety of an author's name is either visible or invisible.
The original mails used to pupulate the mail corpus had had their
attachments (obnoxiously) scrubbed by the pipermail mail archiver.
Since we actually want to test the handling of attachments, this is
less than useful. Restore these files from my own collection, (with
some Received and similar headers pruned).
I still don't know everything about how I want search order to be
customizable, but I do like the current defaults, (namely, performing
a new search gives results newest first, but performing a saved search
like "tag:inbox" gives results as oldest first).
Until we come up with a better plan for people to select what *they*
want, (rather than just getting what I want), let's codify the current
results in the test suite.
Some recently-added tests used hard-coded thread ID values in search
specifications. This is unreliable since the thread IDs depend on the
order in which "notmuch new" encounters new files, (which in turn can
depend on inode ordering within the filesystem).
Fix these by using the new "notmuch search --output=threads" to find the
correct thread IDs given a hard-coded (but reliable) message ID.
