This function detects whether the address in the Reply-To header
already appears in either To or Cc. So give it a name that reflects
what it does (reply_to_header_is_redundant) rather than the old name
which described one possible use of the function, (as a simple
heuristic for detecting whether a mailing list had applied reply-to
munging).
Apparently, GMime doesn't want to create a valid address list object
for an empty string. That's annoying, but it's easy enough to test for
the empty string and avoid the problem.
This change was already recommended in a comment in the original
implementation of this patch. If someone really wants to support
un-munging in the case of To: and Reply-To: having the same address
but different case, then they can provide a portable approach for
that.
Some mailing lists engage in the evil practice of changing the Reply-To
header so that replies from all mailers go to the list by default, at
the expense of not responding to the person who actually sent the
message. When this is detected, we reply to `From' and remove the
duplicate response to the mailing list. Consider a reply to the
following message.
From: Some User <some.user@example.com>
To: Sample users list <sample-users@sample.org>
Reply-To: Sample users list <sample-users@sample.org>
Prior to this patch, `notmuch reply' produces
To: Sample users list <sample-users@sample.org>,
Sample users list <sample-users@sample.org>
and after the patch,
To: Some User <some.user@example.com>,
Sample users list <sample-users@sample.org>

This code was already duplicated. We move it to a new, shared
add_recipients_from_message function, in preparation for more
sophisticated mailing list logic.

Pass the message through the charset filter so that we can view
messages wrote in different charset encoding.

This command only generates References, To, and Cc headers.
The purpose is primarily for use in
git send-email --notmuch id:<MESSAGE-ID>
to get proper threading and address the relevant parties. Hooks for
other SCMs may come later.

This factors actual generation of the reply out of notmuch_reply_command
into notmuch_reply_format_default(), in preparation for other --format=
options.

The domain is alway case insensitive, but in principle the username is
case sensitive. Few systems actually enforce this so I think a good
default is to treat the entire address as case insensitive, it will
eliminate a lot of superfluous self-addressed messages and reply from
the correct address in these cases.

We only rarely need to actually open the database for writing, but we
always create a Xapian::WritableDatabase. This has the effect of
preventing searches and like whilst updating the index.

In particular, notmuch tag -inbox "" tended to take a long time to
run, happened if you hit 'a' on a blank line in the search view and
probably didn't have the desired effect.

It's funny that I picked up the habit of always including a space
before a left parenthesis from Keith, and now he's in the habit of
contributing code without it.
There are still open questions about how to correctly compute the
intended list of recipients. We'll probably need separate "reply to
sender" and "reply to all" commands at some point (unfortunately).
The library interface now allows the caller to do incremental searches,
(such as one page of results at a time). Next we'll just need to hook
this up to "notmuch search" and the emacs interface.
That is, if mail was addresses to one of the "other" addresses in the
configuration file, then the reply will have its "From" header set to
that same address rather than the primary address.
All of the following commands:
notmuch dump
notmuch reply
notmuch restore
notmuch search
notmuch show
notmuch tag
were calling notmuch_database_open with an argument of NULL. This was
a legitimate call until the recent addition of configuration, after
which it is expected that all commands will lookup the correct path in
the configuration file. So fix all these commands to do that.
Also, while touching all of these commands, we fix them to use the
talloc context that is passed in rather than creating a local talloc
context. We also switch from using goto for return values, to doing
direct returns as soon as an error is detected, (which can be leak
free thanks to talloc).
The advantage here is that we actually get the necessary folding of
long headers, (particularly the References header, but also things
like Subject). This also gives us parsed recipient addresses so that
we can easily elide the sender's address(es) from the recipient list
(just as soon as we have a configured value for the recipient's
address(es)).
We know take the original From: and all recipients and put them on the
To: line. We also add a "Re: " to the subject, and we add In-Reply-To:
and References: headers.

Keith wrote all the code here against notmuch before notmuch.c was
split up into multiple files. So I've pushed the code around in
various ways to match the new code structure, but have generally tried
to avoid making any changes to the behavior of the code.
I did fix one bug---a missing call to g_mime_stream_file_set_owner in
show_part which would cause "notmuch show" to go off into the weeds
when trying to show multiple messages, (since the first stream would
fclose stdout).
