This is part of an effort to avoid proliferation of excessive
top-level notmuch commands. Also, "raw" better captures the
functionality here, (as opposed to "cat" which is a fairly oblique
reference to a bad Unix abbreviation whose metaphor doesn't work here
since "notmuch cat" operates only on a single message and hence cannot
"con'cat'enate" anything).
This patch modifies the following commands to access the messages via
cat subcommand:
- view/save attachments ('v', 'w'),
- view a raw message ('V') and
- pipe a message to a command ('|').
With this patch, it is straightforward to use notmuch emacs interface
with a remote database accessed over SSH. To do this, it is sufficient
to redefine notmuch-command variable to contain the name of a script
containing:
ssh user@host notmuch "$@"
If the ssh client has enabled connection sharing (ControlMaster option
in OpenSSH), the emacs interface is almost as responsive as when
notmuch is invoked locally.
Remove them from non-top-level entry points, (such as the functions to
set notmuch modes and the deprecated notmuch-folder function). And add
one to the notmuch-hello function. Also, add missing documentation
string to notmuch-hello.
I don't see copy-seq documented within emacs at all, and some users
have encountered failures of the form:
notmuch-show-del-tags-worker: Symbol's function definition is void: copy-seq
This should eliminate that problem.
The GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual section D.1 says:

Follow this advice, requiring the following changes where `cl' was
used at runtime:
- replace `rassoc-if' in `notmuch-search-buffer-title' with the `loop'
macro and inline code. At the same time find the longest prefix
which matches the query rather than simply the last,
- replace `union', `intersection' and `set-difference' in
`notmuch-show-add-tag' and `notmuch-show-remove-tag' with local code
to calculate the result of adding and removing a list of tags from
another list of tags.
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.
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.
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.

Detect inline patches and convert them to fake attachments, in order
that `diff-mode' highlighting can be applied to the patch. This can be
enabled by customising `notmuch-show-insert-text/plain-hook'.
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.
Add:
- notmuch-wash-wrap-long-lines: Wrap lines longer than the width of
the current window whilst maintaining any citation prefix.
- notmuch-wash-tidy-citations: Tidy up citations by:
- compress repeated otherwise blank citation lines,
- remove otherwise blank citation lines at the head and tail of a
citation,
- notmuch-wash-elide-blank-lines: Compress repeated blank lines and
remove leading and trailing blank lines.
None of these is enabled by default - add them to
`notmuch-show-insert-text/plain-hook' to use.
Reviewed-by: Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org>: I previously committed a
stale version of this patch.
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
`buffer-invisibility-spec' stayed `t'.
Add:
- notmuch-wash-wrap-long-lines: Wrap lines longer than the width of
the current window whilst maintaining any citation prefix.
- notmuch-wash-tidy-citations: Tidy up citations by:
- compress repeated otherwise blank citation lines,
- remove otherwise blank citation lines at the head and tail of a
citation and remove blank lines between attribution statements and
the citation,
- notmuch-wash-compress-blanks: Compress repeated blank lines and
remove leading and trailing blank lines.
Enable `notmuch-wash-tidy-citations' and
`notmuch-wash-compress-blanks' by default by adding them to
`notmuch-show-insert-text/plain-hook'. `notmuch-wash-wrap-long-lines'
is not enabled by default.
If `notmuch-wash-wrap-long-lines' is enabled, word wrapping of the
buffer leads to an unappealing display of text, so provide a function
to disable it and add it to the list of `notmuch-show-mode' hook
functions.
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
exported for user manipulation.
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.
Sebastian pointed out that the pre-JSON UI would move the cursor to
the end of the buffer if `n' or `N' is hit when on the last (unread)
message. Mimic that behaviour in the new UI.
Use the mailcap functionality to guess a MIME type for attachments of
type application/octet-stream and, presuming successful, feed the
attachment back into the display code with the determine type.
This is mostly useless at the moment, as the JSON output from notmuch
does not include the content of application/octet-stream parts, so
they cannot be displayed even if the guess is a good one.
If a text/plain part is not the first part in a message, add a label
in order that a user can see that multiple parts are present.
If a part has a 'filename' attribute, include it in any label
describing the part.
In the recent switch to a JSON-based emacs interface, RET now toggles
message visibility anywhere in the message, (rather than only on the
summary line). So we no longer need this separate "b" binding for this.
Additionally, the body toggle was implemented independently from RET,
so after hiding a message with "b" one could not make it visible with
RET. This confusing state is now no longer possible, (since the
:body-visible property is removed entirely).
Put single-quotes around the argument of the `show --entire-thread' command
in notmuch-show. This change should have no effect on normal usage.
However, it allows us to use the notmuch.el client with a remote notmuch
binary and database over ssh (by, e.g., setting `notmuch-command' to a
simple shell script). Without the quotes, ssh will not send the command
properly.
One very simple example script is as follows. (Note that it requires
keypair login to the ssh server.)
#!/bin/sh
SSH_BIN="/path/to/local/ssh"
NOTMUCH_HOST="my.remote.server"
NOTMUCH_REMOTE_PATH="/path/to/remote/notmuch"
$SSH_BIN $NOTMUCH_HOST $NOTMUCH_REMOTE_PATH $@
As put forth in the commit that enabled this functionality, the last
few lines of a citation are often much more important. In that case,
let's actually do the useful thing by default.
In many conversations the last few lines of a citation are more
interesting than the first few lines, hence allow those to be shown if
desired.

Change the buffer name to a uniquified subject of the thread (i.e. the
subject of the first message in the thread) instead of the thread-id. This
is more meaningful to the user, and will make it easier to scroll through
numerous open buffers.
Note that this patch adds an optional `buffer-name' argument to notmuch
show.

To ease the transition to a JSON based implementation of
`notmuch-show', move the current implementation into a separate file.
Create `notmuch-lib.el' to hold common variables.
