On some platforms (e.g. macOS), it is necessary to add a real sentinel
process for the error buffer used by `notmuch-start-notmuch' rather
than a no-op sentinel.
Correct URLs that have crept into the notmuch codebase with http://
when https:// is possible.
As part of this conversion, this changeset also indicates the current
preferred upstream URLs for both gmime and sup. the new URLs are
https-enabled, the old ones are not.
This also fixes T310-emacs.sh, thanks to Bremner for catching it.
This brings the --decrypt argument to "notmuch reply" into line with
the other --decrypt arguments (in "show", "new", "insert", and
"reindex"). This patch is really just about bringing consistency to
the user interface.
We also use the recommended form in the emacs MUA when replying, and
update test T350 to match.
We also expand tab completion for it, update the emacs bindings, and
update T350, T357, and T450 to match.
Make use of the bool-to-keyword backward-compatibility feature.
Dynamically bind enriched-decode-display-prop when inserting
text/enriched part. This complements commit 9b05823838 for
emacs versions before 24.4 which do not have advice-add
functionality.
Since emacs 25.3 this particular bug is fixed.
Commit a7964c86d1 ("emacs: Sanitize authors and subjects in search
and show") added sanitization of header information for display. Do
the same for reply subjects.
This fixes the long-standing annoying artefact of certain versions of
mailman using tab as folding whitespace, leading to tabs in reply
subjects.
Quoting from the elisp reference:
For other types (e.g., lists, vectors, strings), two arguments
with the same contents or elements are not necessarily ‘eq’ to
each other.
Thanks to "Attic Hermit" for the fix.
Switch to a local version of enriched-decode-display-prop if we
encounter a text/enriched part. This is to mitigate
https://bugs.gnu.org/28350. Normally it would be prudent to remove the
override afterwards, but in this case just leave it in.
Notes from db:
This doesn't disable text/enriched, just one feature of it.
notmuch-tree did not protect against concurrent refreshes like
notmuch-search, meaning, hitting '=' (notmuch-refresh-this-buffer)
quickly will spawn multiple parallel notmuch processes, and clobber
the existing results in the current buffer.
* notmuch-tree.el: Add a guard to notmuch-tree-refresh-view similar to
the one in notmuch-search.
make-process is a new function introduced in Emacs 25, which provides
greater control over process creation. Crucially, it allows
separately redirecting stderr directly to a buffer, which allows us to
avoid needing to use the shell to redirect to a temporary file in
order to correctly distinguish stdout and stderr.
* notmuch-lib.el: Use make-process when it is available; fall back to
the previous method when not.
Load subprocess error output to a string in the callers, and propagate
the error messages as a string parameter instead of a path to file
names.
Required to be able to avoid using temporary files for subprocess
error output.
* notmuch-lib.el: Update notmuch-check-async-exit-status,
notmuch-check-exit-status: accept an err parameter instead of
err-file; shift the responsibility of loading error messages from
files up the call stack.
The queries "" and "*" are special cased in the notmuch library to
match all messages, but only if they're the entire query. They can't
be combined with other queries, such as "* AND foo", in which case
they "leak" down to the Xapian query parser.
Notmuch show and tree buffers inadvertently combine the thread query
with said special queries, causing incorrect collapsing of
messages. Handle the special queries specially. We already do a
similar thing in notmuch-search-filter.
A leading / in paths in a .gitignore file matches the beginning of the
path, meaning that for patterns without slashes, git will match files
only in the current directory as opposed to in any subdirectory.
Prefix relevant paths with / in .gitignore files, to prevent
accidentally ignoring files in subdirectories and possibly slightly
improve the performance of "git status".
We have a steady trickle of people using notmuch-emacs from melpa with
distro packages of notmuch, and then being confused when it doesn't
work. Try to warn people what a foot-gun this is; this commentary
should be copied to the melpa web site.
There are some cases like remote usage where this might cause
problems, but those users can easily customize the variable. The
inconvenience seems to be outweighed by the security benefit for most
users.
Since the error field is unused by the emacs front end, no changes are
needed other than bumping the format version number.
As it is, this is a bit overengineered, but it will reduce duplication
when we support gmime 3.0
Emacs' major modes can facilitate navigation in their buffers by
supporting Imenu. In such major modes, launching Imenu (M-x imenu)
makes Emacs display a list of items (e.g., function definitions in a
code buffer). Selecting an item from this list moves point to this
item.
This patch adds Imenu support to both notmuch-show and notmuch-search
buffers:
* in notmuch-show, Imenu will present a list of all messages in the
currently visible thread;
* in notmuch-search, Imenu will present a list of all messages in the
search buffer.
Previously notmuch tree did not specify the format-version when
calling notmuch. This meant that when the structured output was
slightly changed (in commit 14c60cf168)
stash filename broke. This fixes this breakage by specifying the
format-version.
Adjusted notmuch-crypto gpg call-process function to respect
the GPG program set by the EasyPG epg-gpg-program variable.
This is to correct a problem observed on NixOS where only gpg2 is
installed by default. The Notmuch Emacs frontend fails when trying to
access someone's key to verify their signature when it cannot find the
GPG binary.
This backports the fix from emacs master (commit
77bbca8c82f6e553c42abbfafca28f55fc995d00) to notmuch-emacs to wrap
long headers.
This fixes the test introduced in the previous changeset.
With the mailto: handling in notmuch-emacs-mua, we can update the
desktop file to advertize we can be set as the default application to
handle email. While at it, add GenericName and Comment to be more
informative.
With --hello, notmuch-emacs-mua will run (notmuch) if mailto: url is
not given.
Gnus seems to display application/zip and application/tar by
default. This doesn't seem desirable so we override it.
We only override if the user has not customized
mm-inline-override-types themselves.
Fix the deprecation warning:
In notmuch-maildir-fcc-make-uniq-maildir-id:
emacs/notmuch-maildir-fcc.el:279:53:Warning: ‘system-name’ is an obsolete
variable (as of 25.1); use (system-name) instead
I've used (system-name) since at least 2011, so it must have been
around quite a while.
We now have several customizable options for address completion. There
is a customize group notmuch-address but it only contains one of these
options. Add all the others, and make it part of the notmuch customize
group.
This allows the user to save the address hash so that it is much
faster for the first completion after a restart. This defaults to off
as there are privacy implications to saving this information.
The code tries hard to avoid overwriting the wrong file. It also notes
if changes have been made to any of the relevant user settings, so
that the user does not get surprising results (i.e., outdated options
being used). Finally it stores some version information so that is
easy for us to update the format of the save file.
This makes the code access notmuch-address-full-harvest-finished via a
helper function, notmuch-address--harvest-ready. Later we will use
this to check whether we can load the harvest instead of regenerating
it.
There is really no need to have a separate install target for the
desktop file. Just install the desktop file with emacs, with a
configure option to opt out.
If the --hello parameter is given, display the notmuch hello buffer
instead of the message composition buffer if no message composition
parameters are given.

Some of the recent changes to the emacs code have used functions
introduced in emacs 24. The functions used are read-char-choice and
setq-local. This changeset adds a file notmuch-compat.el which
contains compatibility functions so that it should work on emacs
23.
Note, since these functions are taken almost unchanged from the emacs
source they are copyright the Free Software Foundation, and the header
in the file reflects that.
Provide functionality to resume editing a message previously saved with
notmuch-draft-save, including decoding the X-Notmuch-Emacs-Secure
header.
Resume gets the raw file from notmuch and using the emacs function
mime-to-mml reconstructs the message (including attachments).
'e' is bound to resume a draft from show or tree mode.
This provides initial support for postponing in the emacs frontend;
resuming will follow in a later commit. On saving/postponing it uses
notmuch insert to put the message in the notmuch database
Current bindings are C-x C-s to save a draft, C-c C-p to postpone a
draft (save and exit compose buffer).
Previous drafts get tagged deleted on subsequent saves, or on the
message being sent.
Each draft gets its own message-id, and we use the namespace
draft-.... for draft message ids (so, at least for most people, drafts
are easily distinguisable).
We want to use "e" for editting postponed messages in show, and in
tree view, so remove the binding for the function which does
(In message pane) Activate BUTTON or button at point
This hook can be used to update the message based on the results of
address completion. For example using message-templ or gnus-alias to set
the From address based on the To address just completed.
The post-completion command is added to the notmuch-company backend to
ensure that the hook is also called company completion is started
without going through notmuch-address-expand-name. See the docstring of
`company-backends' for more information.
This makes replying to a message in tree view, use the decrypted state
from the message pane if it is open. Previously it just used the
global decryption state from notmuch-crypto-process-mime.
In particular if notmuch-crypto-process-mime is nil, and the user
views the messages (which doesn't decrypt), toggles decryption in the
message pane, and then replies, the reply will be decrypted.
This makes $ in the tree pane toggle decryption in the message
pane. Without this the user can only decrypt the message pane by
switching to it, or by setting decryption on globally by setting
notmuch-crypto-process-mime to t.
The notmuch-tag-flagged, notmuch-search-flagged-face and
notmuch-crypto-part-header faces defaulted to "blue", which is nearly
unreadable when a dark background is in use. This is addressed by using
"LightBlue1" for dark backgrounds.
As a side effect, these faces are now no-op definitions for grayscale or
mono displays.
The normal tag commands in search mode tag the all threads meeting the
region when called interactively. This makes them do the same when
called non-interactively. This is a change in the api.
This makes tag changes appear in the message pane as well as in the
tree window.
Note that the message pane is reloaded each time a message is viewed
so the tags shown in the message pane can still be different from
those in the tree window. Usually this will just be that the tag
change is still shown as a change (strikethough underline etc) in the
tree window, and are shown after the change in the message
pane. However, if something else updates the database then the tags
shown can be genuinely different.
The command notmuch-interesting-buffer has got out of date -- it
doesn't mention notmuch-tree, and it still refers to message-mode not
notmuch-message-mode. Update both of these.
This fixes the bug that notmuch-cycle-notmuch-buffers does not include
notmuch-tree or notmuch-message-mode buffers in its cycling.
notmuch-show--build-buffer now queries a list of queries built by the
former. This simplifies the logic. It also provides an easy place to
experiment with alternate sets of queries for given notmuch-show-*
variables (e.g. users can use advice-add to do so in a surgical way).
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.
In commit 2a7b11b064 the default value
for notmuch-search-line-faces was changed so that it didn't match the
specification in the corresponding defcustom. This meant that it was
difficult for the user to customize this variable as they got a type
mismatch error.
Note anyone who had already customised this variable would not see
this bug as their customisation would match the defcustom.
We can't use c-u = as some of the notmuch-show refresh function
already uses that. This is a global keybinding for a relatively
infrequent function but M-= seems unlikely to cause conflicts.
notmuch-refresh-all-buffers calls each buffer's major mode specific
refresh function using the generic notmuch-refresh-this-buffer function.
Since the earlier changesets have stopped the refresh functions from
forcing the buffers to be redisplayed this can refresh buffers that
are not currently displayed without disturbing the user. This is very
useful for silent async background updating the emacs display when new
mail is fetched.

This updates all windows displaying a notmuch-show buffer when the
buffer refresh function is called.
Each window displaying a notmuch-show buffer has its own currently
displayed message based on the (point) location. We store the state
of all displayed windows when refreshing a notmuch-show buffer and
re-apply the current shown message (point) for all windows.
Implementation note: Each window has it's own (point) value, besides
the buffer's (point) value. Sometimes these values are identical like
in the case where a single window displays a buffer. When multiple
windows display a buffer, (point) returns each window's specific value.
What we are storing in this changeset is the window values not the
buffer point values. The buffer's point is returned only if no window
is displaying the buffer, a case we do not care about here.

There's no reason to completely kill a buffer while refreshing its
search results because the buffer name is constant between refreshes
(based on the search query), only its contents may change and notmuch
search kills all local variables, so it's safe to reuse.
Reusing the same buffer also makes it possible to do things like
refreshing a buffer which is not focused or even not shown in any
window - this will be used in the next commits to add auto-refresh
capabilities to all existing notmuch buffers + a function to call
after syncing mail to refresh everything.

Make the notmuch-hello refresh function (notmuch-hello-update) not
force the buffer to be displayed. All the callers call it when the
buffer is already displayed so it will only affect non-interactive
callers. Since it is just a trivial wrapper of notmuch-hello anyone
who wants to force the buffer to be displayed should just call
notmuch-hello.
If an encrypted multipart message is received which contains html and
notmuch-multipart/alternative-discouraged is set to discourage "text/plain",
any encrypted parts are not decrypted during generation of the reply
text. This fixes that problem by making sure notmuch-mua-reply does
that.
notmuch jump allows the user to specify a key sequence rather than
just a single key for its bindings. However, it doesn't show what has
already been typed so it can be difficult to see what has
happened. This makes each key press appear, and the jump menu reduce
to the possible follow up keys.
We also bind backspace (emacs symbol DEL) to go back up a level in the
subjumpmaps, and to exit from the top level.
In commit 297d091e1c the key for
switching to the reverse keymap was changed from r to k but the
docstring for the defcustom was not updated. This changeset updates
the documentation to match.
This seems to fix a problem with emacs 25 creating partial buttons by
calling n-s-b-l with a region that does not include the whole button.
I'm not 100% sure it's legit to act outside the region passed by
jit-lock, but goto-address-fontify-region (where I borrowed the code
from) already does this, so this patch to not make things worse.
Emacs message-send seems to ignore a secure mml tag anywhere except at
the start of the body, and it must be followed by a newline. Since
this is almost certainly not desired we check for it, and require user
confirmation before sending.
As the setup before message-send or message-send-and-exit is getting
more complicated it is convenient to unify the two correspoinding
notmuch functions.
This commit adds a common message-send function for message-send and
message-send-and-exit. At the moment the overlap is small, but the
message-send function will get more complex.
The current code for address completion takes the list of possible
completions (whether generated internally or externally), makes the
first match the initial value for the completion, and puts all the
others (but not the first match) into the possible completions.
This has the nice effect that the <down> key takes you immediately to
the next completion (whereas if the first match were included in the
possible completions it would take you to the first match
again).
However, it has two side effects. First, once you have completed to
the full match you find it says and try completing again you get told
"no match" not "sole completion". Secondly, if you delete some of the
text and try completing you don't get the first match as an option.
This tries to get round most of these problems by including the full
list of possible completions, but with the first match moved to the
very end of the list.
Currently, by default k invokes the tag-jump menu, and following it by
r invokes the reverse tag change jump menu. This is awkward to type
(e.g. k r u for undoing a -unread change). This changes it so that k
followed by k invokes the reverse menu. We make the key for the
reverse map a variable as that makes it possible for a user to
change it by editing their .emacs file.
This tweaks the keybindings in tree-mode. It make b do bounce/resend
matching show-mode. Since b was already bound to scroll message pane
back, we now use backspace for that.
This means space/backspace scroll the message pane forwards/backwards,
and page-up/page-down scrolls the tree pane forwards/backwards.
Commit d25d33ff cleaned up some of the tag face code. However, for the
face notmuch-tag-deleted it used the test
((class color) (supports :strike-through))
to decide whether to use red strikethrough or inverse-video (emacs in
a terminal typically doesn't support red strikethrough, but in X it does).
However, it seems that test often returns true even though red
strikethrough is not supported. This breaks the tag update code -- the
wrong thing is displayed to the user.
Thus we make the test explicitly more specific, changing the test to
((class color) (supports :strike-through "red"))
j is in the global notmuch keymap bound to notmuch jump. In tree-mode
it makes sense to close the message pane first (otherwise the new
search runs in the small top pane of tree-mode).
This stops the (usually incorrect) sigstatus and encstatus buttons
appearing when replying in emacs, and updates the test suite to match.
Overriding the status button functions is a little unusual but much
less intrusive than passing an argument all the way down the call
chain. It also makes it clear exactly what it does.
We also hide the application/pgp-encrypted part as it can only contain
"Version: 1". We do this in notmuch show, which means it also happens
when replying.
Previously if notmuch-wash-wrap-lines-length was set then all messages
would be wrapped at this value (or window-width if that is
smaller). This was done regardless of the message's depth in a thread --
for example, if the n.w.w.l.l is 80 and the messages depth is 20
(so indented 20 by default) the messages text only got 60 characters
of space.
This commit changes that so a message always gets the full n.w.w.l.l
of width regardless of its indentation (unless that goes over
window-width of course).
This allows the user to override the mime-type of a part in the show
buffer. This takes the simple option of displaying the part with the
specified mime-type in its own buffer (in view mode). This avoids
further complicating the part handling code.
Bound to ". m" (i.e., m in the part map). Then the user can either
enter a mime-type (with completion to all mime types that mailcap (and
thus notmuch) knows about, or press return for the default choice of
text/plain.
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.
This function prints diagnostic information in the event of an
error. However, one of the callers has an optional :stdin-string
keyword argument. This causes the error printing routine to error
itself.
Rather than reach notmuch-check-exit-status about the possible keyword
arguments (currently only one but could be more in the future) this
commit just tells notmuch-check-exit-status how to print non-string arguments.
This commit makes two changes. The first allows the user to override
an external completion method with the internal notmuch address based
completion for an individual buffer.
Secondly, if the user has company-mode enabled then it sets up company
mode (based on internal completion) but disables the automatic timeout
completion -- the user can still activate it in when desired with
standard company commands such as company-complete.
This commit lets the user customize the address completion. It makes
two changes.
The first change controls whether to build the address completion list
based on messages you have sent or you have received (the latter is
much faster).
The second change add a possible filter query to limit the messages
used -- for example, setting this to date:1y.. would limit the
address completions to addresses used in the last year. This speeds up
the address harvest and may also make the search less cluttered as old
addresses may well no longer be valid.
The User-Agent: header can be fun and interesting, but it also leaks
quite a bit of information about the user and their software stack.
This represents a potential security risk (attackers can target the
particular stack) and also an anonymity risk (a user trying to
preserve their anonymity by sending mail from a non-associated account
might reveal quite a lot of information if their choice of mail user
agent is exposed).
This change also avoids hiding the User-Agent header by default, so
that people who decide they want to send it will at least see it (and
can edit it if they want to) before sending.
It makes sense to have safer defaults.
Previously notmuch-wash made the width of the text (approximately) the
window-width minus the depth in thread. This is correct for the
default indentation of 1 per message depth, but is incorrect for any
other setting of notmuch-show-indent-messages-width.
As notmuch-show-indent-messages-width is customisable, and notmuch-tree
sets it to zero to avoid indenting messages in the message pane, this
bug can show up in real use.
Two of the tests had to be updated: when
notmuch-show-indent-messages-width is 0, then the new (correct) word
wrapping happens later, when notmuch-show-indent-messages-width is 4,
then the new word wrapping happens sooner.
The two new faces (notmuch-search-flagged-face and
notmuch-search-unread-face) make it easier to find the relevant face by
customizing notmuch-faces. I plan to do the same to the other alists of
faces found elsewhere.
Previously if a marking read tag change (i.e., removing the unread
tag) failed for some reason, such as a locked database, then no more
mark read tag changes would be attempted in that buffer.
This handles the error more gracefully. There is not much we can do
yet about dealing with the error itself, and marking read is probably
not important enough to warrant keeping a queue of pending changes or
anything.
However this commit changes it so that
- we do try and make future mark read tag changes.
- we display the tag state correctly: i.e. we don't display the tag as
deleted (no strike through)
- and since we know the tag change failed we can try to mark this
message read in the future. Indeed, since the code uses the
post-command hook we will try again on the next keypress (unless the
user has left the message).
We indicate to the user that these mark read tag changes may have
failed in the header-line.
Many of the external links found in the notmuch source can be resolved
using https instead of http. This changeset addresses as many as i
could find, without touching the e-mail corpus or expected outputs
found in tests.
This binding is similar to mutt's, which is
bind {mode} b "bounce-message" # remail a message to another user
where {mode} is 'index', 'pager' or 'attach'.
The new function notmuch-show-message-resend re-sends
message to new recipients using #'message-resend.
Recipients are read from minibuffer as a comma-separated
string (with some keyboard support including tab completion).
Final confirmation before sending is asked.
When composing messages (including replies, etc.), indicate to
`message-mode' definitively that the message is email (as opposed to
Usenet news) rather than having it attempt to determine this for itself.
This causes `message-mode' to observe such variables as
`message-default-mail-headers', which previously happened haphazardly.
`notmuch--get-bodypart-raw' previously assumed that all non-binary MIME
parts could be successfully read by assuming that they were UTF-8
encoded. This was demonstrated to be wrong, specifically when a part was
marked as ISO8859-1 and included accented characters (which were
incorrectly rendered as a result).
Rather than assuming UTF-8, attempt to use the part's declared charset
when reading it, falling back to US-ASCII if the declared charset is
unknown, unsupported or invalid.

Subject: [PATCH] emacs: make use of `message-make-from'
Will respect `mail-from-style'.
When no decryption or signature examination is
happening (i.e. `notmuch-crypto-process-mime' is `nil') insert buttons
that indicate this, rather than remaining silent.
Currently the preference for which sub-part of a multipart/alternative
part is shown is global. Allow to the user to override the settings on a
per-message basis by providing the ability to call a function that has
access to the message to return the discouraged type list.
The original approach is retained as the default.
`notmuch-get-bodypart-text' assumed that it is always possible to
acquire text/* parts via the sexp output format. This is not true if the
part in question has a content type of application/octet-stream but is
being interpreted as text/* based on the extension of the part filename.
Rework `notmuch-get-bodypart-text' to use the raw output format to
address this and make the implementation common with that of
`notmuch-get-bodypart-binary'.
Move the brief help text at the bottom of the hello screen to the
notmuch-hello-mode help, and promote '?' as the universal help key
across Notmuch. This unclutters the hello screen, and allows for a
more verbose description in the mode help. Hopefully, this change is
useful for both experienced and new users alike.
While at it, improve the links to Notmuch and hello screen
customization.
Add a customizable function specifying which parts get a header when
replying, and give some sensible possiblities. These are,
1) all parts except multipart/*. (Subparts of a multipart part do
receive a header button.)
2) only included text/* parts.
3) Exactly as in the show buffer.
4) None at all. This means the reply contains a mish-mash of all the
original message's parts.
In the test suite we set the choice to option 4 to match the
previous behaviour.
Use the message display code to generate message text to cite in
replies.
For now we set insert-headers-p function to
notmuch-show-reply-insert-header-p-never so that, as before, we don't
insert part buttons.
With that choice of insert-headers-p function there is only one
failing test: this test has a text part (an email message) listed as
application/octet-stream. Notmuch show displays this part, but the
reply code omitted it as it had type application/octet-stream. The new
code correctly includes it. Thus update the expected output to match.
This allows callers of notmuch-show-insert-bodypart to use a `let'
binding to override the default function for specifying when part
headers should be inserted.
We also add an option to never show part buttons which will be used by
the test suites for the reply tests.
If the basic query passed to `notmuch-show' generates no results, ring
the bell and inform the user that no messages matched the query rather
than displaying an empty buffer and showing an obscure error.
Similarly when refreshing a `notmuch-show' buffer and no messages match.
Change the key binding for filter (or "limit") in search-mode. This
gives consistency with the new filter in show-mode, and frees 'f' for
forward-thread in the future.
As pointed out by David Bremner, Elisp manual says "A common pitfall
is to use a quoted constant list as a non-last argument to ‘nconc’."
Since this was the case in recently added code, we fix it here.
notmuch-mua-mail ignored the switch-function argument and always used
the function returned by notmuch-mua-get-switch-function instead. In
order to support standard emacs interfaces (compose-mail in this
case), this commit changes notmuch-mua-mail to use the switch-function
argument if it is non-nil and notmuch-mua-get-switch-function
otherwise.
Commit 570c0aeb40 reworked
notmuch-mua-mail function in a way that worked only under Emacs 24.
The reason was that message-setup-1 took one argument less in Emacs
23.
We fix this by only supplying the return-action argument when it is
actually set by the caller.
Recent addition of notmuch-message-mode introduced several problems:
1. When message-setup-hook is used to set buffer local variables,
these settings are not effective, because all buffer local
variables are immediately erased by notmuch-message-mode
initialization.
2. message-mode-hook gets invoked twice - first when message-mail
invokes message-mode and second when notmuch-mua-mail invokes
notmuch-message-mode.
This commit fixes these problems by replacing a call to message-mail
with notmuch-specific code that is (hopefully) equivalent to
message-mail functionality before introduction of
notmuch-message-mode.
We first initialize notmuch-message-mode with
notmuch-mua-pop-to-buffer, which is a modified version of
message-pop-to-buffer and then call message-setup-1, which is the only
functionality of message-mail that is needed for notmuch.
Previously poll called from emacs would fail silently. This makes it
return a useful error message.
In the non-deprecated case of notmuch new and appropriate hooks, it
uses notmuch-call-notmuch-process which gives an error and
additionally puts the stdout/stderr etc in the *Notmuch errors*
buffer.
In the deprecated case of a custom poll script it only returns an
error message.
Commit based on a bug report, and a potential fix, by Ketil Malde.
In emacs24 we use make-composed-keymap. It seems that if only a single
map is specified then emacs just resuses it rather than creating a
copy of it. Thus use make-sparse-keymap to force a copy.
emacs/make-depend.el will compute all other related dependencies
except this one:
notmuch-version is not top-level `require' expression in
notmuc-lib.el[c] but conditional based on the existence of
notmuch-version.el[c].
emacs/make-depend.el does not know now notmuch-version.el[c] becomes
into existence but emacs/Makefile.local does know.
notmuch-show-view-raw-message() re-uses buffer created with same
name (same Message-Id:) but it did not erase it before filling.
If this ever happened, there were duplicated (potentially overlapping)
content in the buffer. Now this is fixed.
Apparently since emacs 24.5 the (view-buffer) makes the buffer read-only;
so this problem would not have happened there, just that
notmuch-show-view-raw-message() failed. This is fixed by setting
inhibit-read-only t before erasing and filling the buffer. The emacs 24.5
feature having raw message buffer read-only is also now explicitly set to
the buffer so the same experience is available with emaces < 24.5.
Flyspell mode uses a special setting for message-mode to not
spell-check message headers except Subject. Apply this setting also to
notmuch-message-mode.
Commit e26d767897 changed the
fontification of the body associated with the From header to
message-header-from. However, that face is non-existent, and in
message.el (message-font-lock-keywords) the From-header falls through
and is attributed the message-header-other face.
This commit removes the fontification of the [Ff]rom header in
notmuch-show-mode in order to fontify it using the message-header-other
face.
This only affects non-default configurations where
notmuch-message-headers is set to display From.
When company-mode is available (Emacs >= 24), address completion
candidates are shown in a nice popup box. This is triggered either by
pressing TAB or by waiting a while during typing an address. The
completion is based entirely on the asynchronous address harvesting
from notmuch-address.el so the GUI is theoretically not blocked for
long time.
The completion works similarly as the TAB-initiated completion from
notmuch-address.el, i.e. quick harvest based on user input is executed
first and only after full harvesting is finished, in-memory cached data
is used.
[Improved by David Bremner]
Currently, notmuch has an address completion mechanism that requires
external command to provide completion candidates. This commit adds a
completion mechanism inspired by https://github.com/tjim/nevermore,
which is implemented in Emacs lisp only.
The preexisting address completion mechanism, activated by pressing
TAB on To/Cc lines, is extended to use the new mechanism when
notmuch-address-command to 'internal, which is the new default.
The core of the new mechanism is the function notmuch-address-harvest,
which collects the completion candidates from the notmuch database and
stores them in notmuch-address-completions variable. The address
harvesting can run either synchronously (same as with the previous
mechanism) or asynchronously. When the user presses TAB for the first
time, synchronous harvesting limited to user entered text is performed.
If the entered text is reasonably long, this operation is relatively
fast. Then, asynchronous harvesting over the full database is triggered.
This operation may take long time (minutes on rotating disk). After it
finishes, no harvesting is normally performed again and subsequent
completion requests use the harvested data cached in memory. Completion
cache is updated after 24 hours.
Note that this commit restores (different) completion functionality for
users when the user used external command named "notmuch-addresses",
i.e. the old default. The result will be that the user will use
the new mechanism instead of this command. I believe that many users may
not even recognize this because the new mechanism works the same as
http://commonmeasure.org/~jkr/git/notmuch_addresses.git and perhaps also
as other commands suggested at
http://notmuchmail.org/emacstips/#address_completion.
[This feature was significantly improved by David Bremner and Mark Walters]
This allows e.g. Gnus users to load this file without changing
message-mode behaviour.
This will disable completion for those that did not customize the
variable but relied on the existence of a file named "notmuch-addresses"
in their path. In the next commit the default behaviour will change to
use a "workalike" internal completion mechanism.
This patch allows the user to customize a saved search to choose tree
view rather than the default search view. It also updates notmuch-jump
so that it respects this choice.
Currently notmuch-show-max-text-part-size is 10000 which means some
relatively normal messages have all parts hidden by default. Increase
this to 100000 by default.
The setting was introduced to alleviate problems with notmuch being
very slow on large threads. Users hitting these problems may wish to
customize this variable to something smaller (like 10000).
Formerly replying to an encrypted message in tree-view did not work:
the message was not decrypted. This commit makes notmuch-tree respect
the setting of notmuch-crypto-process-mime. In particular, if
notmuch-crypto-process-mime is set to t, then replying to encrypted
messages in tree mode will now decrypt the reply (as it already did in
show mode).
When filtering the current search further with notmuch-search-filter,
wrap the current search in parens (if necessary).
This fixes unexpected behavior when the current search is
complex (like "(tag:this and date:one_week_ago..) or tag:that").
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.
This is to provide a clean way of overriding e.g. keybindings when
sending mail from notmuch.
This is needed in particular to allow somewhere to dynamically bind
certain message-mode variables which are not respected when buffer-local. See e.g.
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=21174
Now that we have `notmuch-emacs-version' defined in notmuch emacs MUA
use that as a part of User-Agent: header to provide more accurate
version information when sending emails.
In case some incomplete installation of notmuch emacs MUA is used and
`notmuch-emacs-version' is defined as "unknown" then fall back to ask
version info from cli (as it used to be before this commit).
Requiring notmuch-version[.elc] and if that is missing setting
"fallback" notmuch-emacs-version (to "unknown") was moved from
notmuch.el to notmuch-lib.el as notmuch-mua.el (which provides
User-Agent: information) require's the latter.
Show the current thread with a different filter (i.e., open messages
in the thread matching the new query).
Bound to 'l' for "limit".
Note that it is not the same as filter in search mode as it replaces
the existing query rather than ANDing with it (but it does keep the
thread-id part of the query).
Separate out a notmuch-show-goto-msg-id sub-function from
notmuch-show-apply-state. There should be no functional change but the
next patch will call the new function.
The second argument to notmuch-tag is now called tag-changes, but the
documentation for notmuch-before-tag-hook and notmuch-after-tag-hook
still used the old argument name `tags'. This resulted in broken hooks
when following the documentation.
The mark read code for tree mode did not get updated in the recent
changes. This updates it to match. Since the user can customize the
mark read logic we just call the show logic in the message pane.
The notmuch-search-terms man page states that "tag:<tag>" is equivalent
to "is:<tag>". Completion for "is:<tag>" style searches is now supported
in the Emacs interface.
Amended by David Bremner: combine lexical-let and let into
lexical-let*
notmuch-show can be slow displaying large attachments so hide them by
default. The default maximum size is 10000 bytes/characters but it is
customizable.
Note that notmuch-show-insert-bodypart is also called from the reply
code so we need to be a little careful.
Besides generally cleaning up the code and separating the general
content ID handling from the w3m-specific code, this fixes several
problems.
Foremost is that, previously, the code roughly assumed that referenced
parts would be in the same multipart/related as the reference.
According to RFC 2392, nothing could be further from the truth:
content IDs are supposed to be globally unique and globally
addressable. This is nonsense, but this patch at least fixes things
so content IDs can be anywhere in the same message.
As a side-effect of the above, this handles multipart/alternate
content-IDs more in line with RFC 2046 section 5.1.2 (not that I've
ever seen this in the wild). This also properly URL-decodes cid:
URLs, as per RFC 2392 (the previous code did not), and applies crypto
settings from the show buffer (the previous code used the global
crypto settings).
Unibyte strings are meant for representing binary data. In practice,
using unibyte versus multibyte strings affects *almost* nothing. It
does happen to matter if we use the binary data in an image descriptor
(which is, helpfully, not documented anywhere and getting it wrong
results in opaque errors like "Not a PNG image: <giant binary spew
that is, in fact, a PNG image>").
`notmuch-get-bodypart-content' could do two very different things,
depending on conditions: for text/* parts other than text/html, it
would return the part content as a multibyte Lisp string *after*
charset conversion, while for other parts (including text/html), it
would return binary part content without charset conversion.
This commit completes the split of `notmuch-get-bodypart-content' into
two different and explicit APIs: `notmuch-get-bodypart-binary' and
`notmuch-get-bodypart-text'. It updates all callers to use one or the
other depending on what's appropriate.
The new function, `notmuch-get-bodypart-binary', replaces
`notmuch-get-bodypart-internal'. Whereas the old function was really
meant for internal use in `notmuch-get-bodypart-content', it was used
in a few other places. Since the difference between
`notmuch-get-bodypart-content' and `notmuch-get-bodypart-internal' was
unclear, these other uses were always confusing and potentially
inconsistent. The new call clearly requests the part as undecoded
binary.
This is step 1 of 2 in separating `notmuch-get-bodypart-content' into
two APIs for retrieving either undecoded binary or decoded text.
We set header-line-format to the message subject, but if the subject
contains percents, the next character is interpreted as a formatting
control, which is not desired.
The TAB-initiated address completion generates completion candidates
synchronously, blocking the UI. Since this can take long time, it is
better to let the use know what's happening.
Make a new customizable variable instead of relying on
message-cite-function because the default for the latter changed
between emacs releases.
The defcustom is borrowed from the message.el source, with minor
modifications.
The faces used when washing messages should be notmuch specific and
inherit from the underlying emacs face rather than using it
directly. This allows the washed face to be modified without requiring
the modification of the underlying face.
`with-current-notmuch-show-message' applies a `no-conversion' coding
system when reading a raw message from notmuch. That coding system
should _not_ be applied when the body of the macro is evaluated, as it
can cause file operations used during that evaluation to incorrectly
apply the `no-conversion' coding system.
This was discovered when a user's .signature file contained non-ASCII
characters. When a message is forwarded, the `no-conversion' coding
system was applied to the reading of the .signature file, resulting in
raw rather than UTF-8 interpretation of the data.
notmuch-jump uses window-body-width which is not defined in emacs
23. To get around this it does
(unless (fboundp 'window-body-width)
;; Compatibility for Emacs pre-24
(defalias 'window-body-width 'window-width))
This makes sure window-body-width is defined and all should be
well. But it seems that the byte compiler does not realise that this
guarantees that window-body-width will be defined and so, when
compiling with emacs 23, it gives an error
In end of data:
notmuch-jump.el:172:1:Warning: the function `window-body-width' is not known to be defined.
Domo and I came to following on irc: wrap the (unless (fboundp ...))
inside eval-and-compile which ensures that both the test and the
defalias (if needed) happen at both compile and load time. This fixes
the warning.
default-value needs its argument to be quoted.
Slightly strangely default-value of 't or nil is 't or nil
respectively so the code
(default-value notmuch-search-oldest-first)
just gives the current value of notmuch-search-oldest-first rather
than intended default-value of this variable.
The symptom is that if you are in a search buffer and use notmuch jump
to run a saved search which does not have an explicitly set sort order
then the sort order of the saved-search is inherited from the current
search buffer rather than being the default search order.
Thanks to Jani for finding the bug.
Fix byte compiler warning "Warning: the function `window-body-width'
is not known to be defined." by moving our compatibility wrapper
before its use and simplify the definition to a defalias for the old
name of the function.
This should help new users off to a better start with the addition of
more sensible saved searches and default shortcut keys. Most existing
users have probably customized this variable and won't be affected.
This introduces notmuch-jump, which is like a user-friendly,
user-configurable global prefix map for saved searches. This provides
a non-modal and much faster way to access saved searches than
notmuch-hello.
A user configures shortcut keys in notmuch-saved-searches, which are
immediately accessible from anywhere in Notmuch under the "j" key (for
"jump"). When the user hits "j", the minibuffer immediately shows a
helpful table of bindings reminiscent of a completions buffer.
This code is a combination of work from myself (originally,
"notmuch-go"), David Edmondson, and modifications from Mark Walters.
notmuch-poll-script has long since been deprecated in favor of
post-new hooks, but this wasn't obvious from the documentation.
Update the documentation to make this clear. Since
notmuch-poll-script could, to some extend, be used to control the path
of the notmuch binary and that use is now clearly discouraged, promote
notmuch-command to a real defcustom instead of just a variable.
tree overrides notmuch-show-get-prop so that it can use many of the
utility function directly. Now that tree is in mainline the version
from tree can be moved to show and the original overridden show
version dropped.
This adds the current query as a "default value" to
notmuch-read-qeury. The default value is available via a down-arrow as
opposed to history which is available from the up arrow.
Note if a user presses return in the minibuffer this value is not
returned.
The implementation is simple but notmuch-read-query could be called
via notmuch-search/notmuch-tree etc from any buffer so it makes sense
to put the decision of how to extract the current query in
notmuch-read-query rather than in each of the callers.
notmuch-search-archive-thread moves to the next line after tagging. In
the normal case this makes sense, but if the region is active, it tags
the whole region and then it doesn't really. Thus only move to the
next line if region is not active.
Add a function for updating seen messages to the
post-command-hook. This function calls a customizable (by eg
defcustom) function with parameters the start and end of the current
window and that function can decide what to mark read based on that
and the current point.
Since this is in the post-command-hook it should get called after most
user actions (exceptions include user resizing the window) so it
should be possible to make sure the seen status gets updated whether
the user uses notmuch commands like next-message or normal emacs
commands like scroll-up.
It removes all of the old mark read/seen points but introduces a
simple example function that just marks the current message read if it
is open. This function has one small subtlety: it makes sure it
doesn't mark the same message read twice (in the same instance of the
same buffer); otherwise the post-command-hook makes it impossible for
a user to manually mark a message unread.
This fixes the current bugs (imo) that closed messages can be marked
read, and that opening a closed message does not mark it read.
Another advantage of using the post-command-hook any programmatic use
with point passing through a message will not mark it read.
When the user begins forwarding a message, the resulting composition
buffer should not be marked as modified, in order that it can
immediately be killed without prompting.
`make install-emacs` will copy $(emacs_sources), $(emacs_images) and
$(emacs_bytecode) to their target directories. $(emacs_bytecode) was
already a prerequisite of make install-emacs as these obviously needed
to be build. Until a while ago all of $(emacs_sources) was available
in the repository, but now it includes `notmuch-version.el` which
is generated. In the future we may have generated emacs images too.
Currently notmuch-tag throws a "wrong-type-argument stringp nil" if
passed a nil query-string. Catch this and provide a more useful error
message. This fixes a case in notmuch-tree (if you try to tag when at
the end of the buffer).
Secondly, as pointed out by David (dme)
`notmuch-search-find-stable-query-region' can return the query string
() if there are no messages in the region. This gets passed to notmuch
tag, and due to interactions in the optimize_query code in
notmuch-tag.c becomes, in the case tag-change is -inbox, "( () ) and
(tag:inbox)". This query matches some strange collection of messages
which then get archived. This should probably be fixed, but in any
case make `notmuch-search-find-stable-query-region' return a nil
query-string in this case.
This avoids data-loss (random tag removal) in this case.
The implementation and documentation for `notmuch-search-line-faces'
disagreed in how elements in the list were merged. Correct the
documentation to match the implementation (that is, the earlier
elements in the list have precedence over later elements).
Some archives may use a more complicated scheme for referring to
messages than just concatenated url and message-id. In particular,
patchwork requires a query to translate message-id to a patchwork
patch id. Allow functions in notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link-alist
to facilitate this.
For example, one could use something like this for patchwork.
(lambda (message-id)
(concat
"http://patchwork.example.com/patch/"
(nth 0
(split-string
(car (last (process-lines "pwclient" "search" "-n" "1"
"-m" (concat "<" message-id ">"))))))))
The recent changes for saved searches introduced a bug when notmuch
was loaded after the saved search was defined. This was caused by a
utility function not being defined when the defcustom was loaded.
Fix this by moving some code around: the defcustom is moved into
notmuch-hello (which is a more natural place anyway), and the utility
functions are moved before the defcustom in notmuch-hello. We are
rather constrained as the defcustom for saved searches is the first
variable in the notmuch-hello customize window; to avoid moving this
customize the defcustom needs to be the first defcustom in
notmuch-hello, and the utility functions come before that.
This patch also renames one of the utility functions from
notmuch--saved-searches-to-plist to
notmuch-hello--saved-searches-to-plist (as it is purely local to
notmuch-hello) and corrects a couple of typo/spelling mistakes pointed
out by Tomi.
Previously, even if debug-on-error was non-nil, the debugger would not
trap on part renderer errors. This made debugging part renderer bugs
frustrating, so let the debugger trap these errors.
My recent changes to the saved search format broke the alphabetically
sorted saved sort option. This makes it work again.
Also update docs for saved-search sort defcustom to match the new
format.
Finally, since the saved-search list is no longer an alist change the
names in the sort function to avoid confusion.
It was decided that auto-signing is potentially too troublesome for the
apparently common case of users who enable crypto processing for the
purpose of checking signature validity but who are not in a position to
sign out-going messages. Users can still manually invoke signing as needed.
Encrypting replies to encrypted messages is more of a security issue
so we leave it in place.
This is a simple approach to improving security when replying to
signed or encrypted messages. If the message being replied to was
signed, add mml tag to sign the reply. If the message being replied to
was encrypted, add mml tag to sign and encrypt the reply.
This may need configuration; I for one might want to encrypt replies
to encrypted messages, but not always sign replies to signed messages.
This still includes a slight bug: if any mml tags are added, they are
included in the region containing the quoted parts. Killing the region
will kill the mml tags too.
This adds a sort-order option to saved-searches, stores it in the
saved-search buttons (widgets), and uses the stored value when the
button is pressed.
Storing the sort-order in the widget was suggested by Jani in
id:4c3876274126985683e888641b29cf18142a5eb8.1391771337.git.jani@nikula.org.
Make the defcustom for notmuch-saved-searches use the new plist
format. It should still work with oldstyle saved-searches but will
write the newstyle form.
Add helper functions to for saved searches to ease the transition to
the new plist form while maintaining backwards compatibility. They
will be used in the next patch.
The notmuch cli program and emacs lisp versions may differ (especially
in remote usage). It helps to resolve problems if we can determine
the versions of notmuch cli and notmuch emacs mua separately.
The build process now creates notmuch-version.el from template file
by filling the version info to notmuch-emacs-version variable.
We push mark on reply so user can cut the quote. Push the mark before
signature, if any, instead of end of buffer so the signature is
preserved.
This is consistent with message-kill-to-signature.
So that users can easily organize their notmuch-specific configurations
to separate file and they don't have to have notmuch configurations in
*every* emacs installation they launch, especially if those need to
'(require notmuch) to make the configurations possible.
When (require 'notmuch) is added to ~/.emacs notmuch is loaded to every
instance of emacs although it may not be used in majority of
those instances.
When (autoload 'notmuch "notmuch" ...) is added to ~/.emacs notmuch
is loaded (only) when user invokes the notmuch function.
User may want to add other entrypoints to notmuch by adding more
autoloads -- the autoload instruction given should offer them clue how
to do so.
Previously, the term escaper used a blacklist of characters that
needed escaping. This blacklist turned out to be somewhat incomplete;
for example, it did not contain non-whitespace ASCII control
characters or Unicode "fancy quotes", both of which do require the
term to be escaped.
Switch to a whitelist of characters that are definitely safe to leave
unquoted. This fixes the broken test introduced by the previous
patch.
This uses the recent functionality to show the tag changes in the tree
buffer. Currently this is only used to show changes the tree buffer
makes itself: i.e., it does not make display any changes reflecting
tagging done by other notmuch-buffers.
This uses the recent functionality to show the tag changes in the
search buffer. Currently this is only used to show changes the search
buffer makes itself: i.e., it does not make display any changes
reflecting tagging done by other notmuch-buffers.
This allows (and requires) the original-tags to be passed along with
the current-tags to be passed to notmuch-tag-format-tags. This allows
the tag formatting to show added and deleted tags.By default a removed
tag is displayed with strike-through in red (if strike-through is not
available, eg on a terminal, inverse video is used instead) and an
added tag is displayed underlined in green.
If the caller does not wish to use the new feature it can pass
current-tags for both arguments and, at this point, we do exactly that
in the three callers of this function.
Note, we cannot tidily allow original-tags to be optional because we would
need to distinguish nil meaning "we are not specifying original-tags"
from nil meaning there were no original-tags (an empty list).
We use this in subsequent patches to make it clear when a message was
unread when you first loaded a show buffer (previously the unread tag
could be removed before a user realised that it had been unread).
The code adds into the existing tag formatting code. The user can
specify exactly how a tag should be displayed normally, when deleted,
or when added.
Since the formatting code matches regexps a user can match all deleted
tags with a ".*" in notmuch-tag-deleted-formats. For example setting
notmuch-tag-deleted-formats to '((".*" nil)) tells notmuch not to show
deleted tags at all.
All the variables are customizable; however, more complicated cases
like changing the face depending on the type of display will require
custom lisp.
Currently this overrides notmuch-tag-deleted-formats for the tests
setting it to '((".*" nil)) so that they get removed from the display
and, thus, all tests still pass.
Add customize options for deleted/added tag formats. These are not
used yet but will be later in the series.
We switch to using `notmuch-apply-face' rather than `propertize' in
the defcustom for faces so that the faces for deleted/added tags add
to the default face attributes for the tag.
We special case deleting the unread tag as that tag is a strong visual
cue and we don't need that cue when we are just saying it used to be
unread. Thus, we revert to the normal tag face with strikethough for
deleted unread tags.
We will re-use the customize option for format-tags for formattting
deleted tags to added tags in the next patch so split it into a
widget. There should be no functional change.
This modifies `notmuch-tag-format-tag' to treat the keys of
`notmuch-tag-formats' as (anchored) regexps, rather than literal
strings. This is clearly more flexible, as it allows for prefix
matching, defining a fallback format, etc. This may cause compatibility
problems if people have customized `notmuch-tag-formats' to match tags
that contain regexp specials, but this seems unlikely.
Regular expression matching has quite a performance hit over string
lookup, so this also introduces a simple cache from exact tags to
formatted strings. The number of unique tags is likely to be quite
small, so this cache should have a high hit rate. In addition to
eliminating the regexp lookup in the common case, this cache stores
fully formatted tags, eliminating the repeated evaluation of potentially
expensive, user-specified formatting code. This makes regexp lookup at
least as fast as assoc for unformatted tags (e.g., inbox) and *faster*
than the current code for formatted tags (e.g., unread):
inbox (usec) unread (usec)
assoc: 0.4 2.8
regexp: 3.2 7.2
regexp+caching: 0.4 0.4
(Though even at 7.2 usec, tag formatting is not our top bottleneck.)
This cache must be explicitly cleared to keep it coherent, so this adds
the appropriate clearing calls.
This combines our two face combining functions into one, easy to use
function with a much shorter name: `notmuch-apply-face'. This
function takes the full set of arguments that
`notmuch-combine-face-text-property' took, but takes them in a more
convenient order and provides smarter defaults that make the function
easy to use on both strings and buffers.
Currently notmuch-show-pipe-message runs the command in the working
directory of the *notmuch-pipe* buffer if it exists, and the current
buffer's working directory (which is inherited to the new
*notmuch-pipe* buffer) otherwise. This is all very surprising to the
user, and it's difficult to know or change where the command will be
run.
Always use the current show buffer's working directory for piping. The
user can check that with M-x pwd and change it with M-x cd. This is
consistent with notmuch-show-pipe-part.
`notmuch-mua-prompt-for-sender' is over-engineered and often wrong.
It attempts to detect when all identities have the same name and
specialize the prompt to just the email address part. However, to do
this it uses `mail-extract-address-components', which is meant for
displaying email addresses, not general-purpose parsing, and hence
performs many canonicalizations that can interfere with this use. For
example, configuring notmuch-identities to ("Austin
<austin@example.com>"), will cause `notmuch-mua-prompt-for-sender' to
lose the name part entirely and return " <austin@example.com>".
This patch rewrites `notmuch-mua-prompt-for-sender' to simply prompt
for a full identity when notmuch-identities is configured, or to
prompt for a sender address when it isn't.
The original code also did several strange things, like using `eval'
and specifying that this function was interactive. As a side-effect,
this patch fixes these problems. And it adds a docstring.
Since a newline starts a new query in batch mode, this causes
mysterious crashes in the emacs interface if saved searches contain
newlines. See the discussion at
id:87wqhcxb5j.fsf@maritornes.cs.unb.ca
In general newlines seem to be just whitespace to the xapian query
parser, so this should be mainly harmless.
When "notmuch config" is called with the name of an empty or
unconfigured setting, it prints nothing (not even a new line).
Previously, `notmuch-config-get' assumed it would always print a
newline. As a result, when `notmuch-config-get' was called with the
name of an empty of unconfigured setting, it would attempt to
(substring "" 0 -1) to strip the newline, which would fail with a
(args-out-of-range "" 0 -1) exception.
Fix this by only stripping the newline if there actually is one.
Previously, we used `message-forward' to build forwarded messages, but
this function is simply too high-level to be a good fit for some of
what we do.
First, since `message-forward' builds a full forward message buffer
given the message to forward, we have to duplicate much of the logic
in `notmuch-mua-mail' to patch the notmuch-y things into the built
buffer.
Second, `message-forward' constructs the From header from
user-full-name and user-mail-address. As a result, if we prompt the
user for an identity, we have to parse it into name and address
components, just to have it put back together by `message-forward'.
This process is not entirely loss-less because
`mail-extract-address-components' does a lot of canonicalization
(since it's intended for displaying addresses, not for parsing them).
To fix these problems, don't use `message-forward' at all.
`message-forward' itself is basically just a call to `message-mail'
and `message-forward-make-body'. Do this ourselves, but call
`notmuch-mua-mail' instead of `message-mail' so we can directly build
a notmuch-y message and control the From header.
This also fixes a bug that was a direct consequence of our use of
`mail-extract-address-components': if the user chose an identity that
had no name part (or the name part matched the mailbox), we would bind
user-full-name to nil, which would cause an exception in the bowels of
message-mode because user-full-name is expected to always be a string
(even if it's just "").
