This is a logical followup to "lib: index the content type of
signature parts", which will make it easier to record the message
structure of all messages.
It's useful (*) to be able to easily find messages with certain types
of signatures. Having the mimetype: prefix searches fail for some
content types is also genuinely surprising (*). Index the content type
of signature parts.
While at it, switch to the gmime convenience constants for content and
signature part indexes.
*) At least for developers of email software!
Add known broken subtests for searching signed and encrypted messages
using mimetype: prefix search for the content-types of signed and
encrypted parts.
In [1] Mark showed that the the current code (d7a49e81) is not
consistent in it's handling of subjects of messages with duplicate
message-ids (or in notmuch-speak, of messages with multiple files).
notmuch-search uses indexing order and explicitedly preserves the
first. notmuch-show (apparently) uses alphabetical (or at least xapian
term order) of filenames. In a perfect world we would probably report
all subjects in the json output; at the very least we should be
consistent.

In [1], Mark gave a test that was behaving strangly. This turns out to
be specific to reindexing. I suppose one could argue that picking the
lexicographically last file name is a defensible choice, but it's
almost as easy to take the first, which seems more intuitive. So mark
the current situation as broken.

The existing test for notmuch search had the first in filename order
the same as the first indexed, which made it harder to understand what
the underlying behaviour is. Add a file with a lexicographically
smaller name, but later index time to clarify this.
The original intent of this test was to verify that notmuch show was
not crashing when the first file (where headers are being read from)
was deleted. Run the output through some sanitization so that as we
add and delete copies we don't have to update this test.
Changed "" quotes to '' as we're not supposed to dynamically
alter python program (via shell $variable expansion).
Added space to python program to match general python style.
Replaced $* with 'idiomatic' "$@" to serve as better example.
In [1], Vladimir Panteleev observed that the In-Reply-To and
References headers could be wrapped in the 'default' output format of
notmuch-reply, depending on the version of Emacs creating the
message. In my own experiments notmuch-reply sometimes wraps headers
with only one message-id if that message-id is long enough. However it
happens, this causes the previous approach using grep to fail.
Since I found the proposed unwrapping shell fragment in [1] a bit hard
to follow, I decided to write a little python script instead. Then
Tomi suggested a slight generalization of my script, and here we are.

On some system configurations, setting a breakpoint on the "add_file"
function then issuing "continue" in gdb causes the debugger to
seemingly jump over the add_file invocation. This results in a test
failure, as the "Handle files vanishing between scandir and add_file"
subtest expects add_file to be called and fail due to the vanishing
file. The compiler optimization level also plays a role - the problem
can be reproduced with CFLAGS having -O2 but not -Og.
This problem was observed manifesting as a test failure on Travis CI
configured with "dist: trusty" and "sudo: false". It was not
reproducible on a local Docker image of Travis' runtime environment,
so Travis' virtualization infrastructure likely plays a role as well.
* T050-new.sh: Breakpoint notmuch_database_add_message instead of
add_file to the same effect, and avoid bad gdb behaviour on Travis
CI.
Amended by db:
s/notmuch_database_add_message/notmuch_database_index_file/
Somehow the wrapper function doesn't work as a breakpoint; perhaps due
to inlining.
We reorder reading maildir flags to avoid overwriting 'new.tags'. The
inverted status of 'unread' means the maildir flag needs to be checked
a second time.
I backpedalled here on the idea of supporting 'new.tags' without
'unread' in the presence of maildir syncing. For files in 'new/', it
seems quite natural to tag them as 'unread'.
json.tool does not sort or otherwise normalize the order of JSON keys
in its output, which can result in test failures on some test systems.
Instead, use a one-line Python script passed to the interpreter
directly on its command line. Use sort_keys=True for json.dump to
ensure the key order is normalized. The script works with both Python
2 and 3.
* test/test-lib.sh: Update test_expect_equal_json.
We need a way to pass parameters to the indexing functionality on the
first index, not just on reindexing. The obvious place is in
notmuch_database_add_message. But since modifying the argument list
would break both API and ABI, we needed a new name.
I considered notmuch_database_add_message_with_params(), but the
functionality we're talking about doesn't always add a message. It
tries to index a specific file, possibly adding a message, but
possibly doing other things, like adding terms to an existing message,
or failing to deal with message objects entirely (e.g. because the
file didn't contain a message).
So i chose the function name notmuch_database_index_file.
I confess i'm a little concerned about confusing future notmuch
developers with the new name, since we already have a private
_notmuch_message_index_file function, and the two do rather different
things. But i think the added clarity for people linking against the
future libnotmuch and the capacity for using index parameters makes
this a worthwhile tradeoff. (that said, if anyone has another name
that they strongly prefer, i'd be happy to go with it)
This changeset also adjusts the tests so that we test whether the new,
preferred function returns bad values (since the deprecated function
just calls the new one).
We can keep the deprecated n_d_add_message function around as long as
we like, but at the next place where we're forced to break API or ABI
we can probably choose to drop the name relatively safely.
NOTE: there is probably more cleanup to do in the ruby and go bindings
to complete the deprecation directly. I don't know those languages
well enough to attempt a fix; i don't know how to test them; and i
don't know the culture around those languages about API additions or
deprecations.
This patch fixes the 'Deleted first duplicate file does not stop
notmuch show from working' test.
If a message to be shown has several duplicated files, and for some
reason the first file in the list is not available anymore, notmuch
will exit with an error.
This is clearly a problem in the database, but we are not going to let
this problem be a show-stopper. Let's walk through the list, and show
the first existing file.

This patch fixes the "Insert message into folder with trailing /"
test. The problem was insufficient path canonization.
From database's point of view, "Sent" and "Sent/" are different
folders. If user runs (note the last '/'):
notmuch insert --folder=maildir/Sent/ < test.msg
notmuch will create an extra XDIRECTORY record for the folder
'Sent/'. This means that database will have _TWO_ records for _ONE_
physical folder: 'Sent' and 'Sent/'. However, the 'notmuch new'
command will update only records related to the first one (the correct
one).
Now, if user moved the email file (e.g. from 'Sent/new' to
'Sent/cur'), 'notmuch new' will add a record about the new file, but
will not delete the old record.

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".
971cdc72cd renamed corpus.mail to
corpora.mail. Although 971cdc72cd
updated some of the remaining corpus.mail references, two remained,
causing the test suite to leave behind an unignored corpora.mail
directory.
The corresponding xapian document just gets more terms added to it,
but this doesn't seem to break anything. Values on the other hand get
overwritten, which is a bit annoying, but arguably it is not worse to
take the values (from, subject, date) from the last file indexed
rather than the first.
There are many other problems that could be tested, but these ones we
have some hope of fixing because it doesn't require UI changes, just
indexing changes.
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.
gmime 3.0 no longer offers a means to set the path for gpg.
Users can set $PATH anyway if they want to pick a
differently-installed gpg (e.g. /usr/local/bin/gpg), so this isn't
much of a reduction in functionality.
The one main difference is for people who have tried to use "gpg2" to
make use of gpg 2.1, but that isn't usefully co-installable anyway.
The reply-to munging code might behave differently whether there's an
exact match on the strings or not, or whether the string is a raw
addr-spec instead of an name-addr. These tests cover those variations
(i also had to tweak json output further below when this new test was
added).
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
