In _index_mime_part, we don't need to extract the content-type from
the part until just before we use it, so we also defer it lazily.

The new `body:` field (in Xapian terms) or prefix (in slightly
sloppier notmuch) terms allows matching terms that occur only in the
body.
Unprefixed query terms should continue to match anywhere (header or
body) in the message.
This follows a suggestion of Olly Betts to use the facility (since
Xapian 1.0.4) to add the same field with multiple prefixes. The double
indexing of previous versions is thus replaced with a query time
expension of unprefixed query terms to the various prefixed
equivalent.
Reindexing will be needed for 'body:' searches to work correctly;
otherwise they will also match messages where the term occur in
headers (demonstrated by the new tests in T530-upgrade.sh)
The exact error messages returned by regerror() aren't standardized;
relying on them isn't portable. Thus, add a a prefix to make clear that
the subsequent message is a regexp parsing error, and only look for this
prefix in the test suite, ignoring the rest of the message.
I can't figure out how checking the sign of a bool ever worked. The
following program demonstrates the problem (i.e. for me it prints 1).
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
bool x;
x = -1;
printf("x = %d\n", x);
}
This seems to be mandated by the C99 standard 6.3.1.2.
Use explicit labels for GTypeInfo member initializers, rather than
relying on comments and ordering. This is both easier to read, and
harder to screw up. This also makes it clear that we're mis-casting
GObject class initializers for gcc.
Without this patch, g++ 8.2.0-7 produces this warning:
CXX -g -O2 lib/index.o
lib/index.cc: In function ‘GMimeFilter* notmuch_filter_discard_non_term_new(GMimeContentType*)’:
lib/index.cc:252:23: warning: cast between incompatible function types from ‘void (*)(NotmuchFilterDiscardNonTermClass*)’ {aka ‘void (*)(_NotmuchFilterDiscardNonTermClass*)’} to ‘GClassInitFunc’ {aka ‘void (*)(void*, void*)’} [-Wcast-function-type]
(GClassInitFunc) notmuch_filter_discard_non_term_class_init,
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The definition of GClassInitFunc in
/usr/include/glib-2.0/gobject/gtype.h suggests that this function will
always be called with the class_data member of the GTypeInfo. We set
that value to NULL in both GObject definitions in notmuch. So we mark
it as explicitly unused.
There is no functional change here, just code cleanup.
As reported by Sean Whitton, there are mailers (in particular the
Debian Bug Tracking System) that have sensible In-Reply-To headers,
but un-useful-for-notmuch References (in particular with the BTS, the
oldest reference is last). I looked at a sample of about 200K
messages, and only about 0.5% these had something other than a single
message-id in In-Reply-To. On this basis, if we see a single
message-id in In-Reply-To, consider that as authoritative.
The idea is that if a message-id parses with this function, the MUA
generating it was probably sane, and in particular it's probably safe
to use the result as a parent from In-Reply-to.
We (finally) implement the XXX comment. It requires a bit of care not
to reparent all of the possible toplevel messages.
_notmuch_messages_has_next is not ready to be a public function yet,
since it punts on the mset case. We know in the one case it is called,
the notmuch_messages_t is just a regular list / iterator.
This is mainly to lay out the structure of the final code. The problem
isn't really solved yet, although some very simple cases are
better (hence the fixed test). We need two passes through the messages
because we need to be careful not to re-parent too many messages and
end up without any toplevel messages.
There is no public notmuch_message_list_t public interface, so to this
is added to the private API. We use it immediately in thread.cc;
future commits will use it further.
For non-root messages, this should not should anything currently, as
the messages are already added in date order. In the future we will
add some non-root messages in a second pass out of order and the
sorting will be useful. It does fix the order of multiple
root-messages (although it is overkill for that).
This is technically an API change, but it is not an ABI change, and
it's merely a statement that limits what the library can do.
This is in parallel to notmuch_query_get_database(), which also takes
a const pointer.
The user can already do this manually, of course, but (a) it's nice to
have a convenience function, and (b) exposing this interface means
that someone more clever with a _notmuch_string_map_t than i am can
write a more efficient version if they like, and it will just
accelerate the users of the convenience function.
We've had _notmuch_message_database() internally for a while, and it's
useful. It turns out to be useful on the other side of the library
interface as well (i'll use it later in this series for "notmuch
show"), so we expose it publicly now.
The observation is that we are only using the messages to get there
thread_id, which is kindof a pessimal access pattern for the current
notmuch_message_get_thread_id
This change allows queries of the form
thread:{from:me} and thread:{from:jian} and not thread:{from:dave}
This is still somewhat brute-force, but it's a big improvement over
both the shell script solution and the previous proposal [1], because it
does not build the whole thread structure just generate a
query. A further potential optimization is to replace the calls to
notmuch with more specialized Xapian code; in particular it's not
likely that reading all of the message metadata is a win here.

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.
At least Fedora28 triggers this Xapian bug due to some toolchain change .
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1546162
The underlying bug is fixed in xapian commit f92e2a936c1592, and
should be fixed in Xapian 1.4.6
We added several new functions, at least
notmuch_database_get_default_indexopts
notmuch_database_index_file
notmuch_indexopts_destroy
notmuch_indexopts_get_decrypt_policy
notmuch_indexopts_set_decrypt_policy
notmuch_message_count_files
notmuch_message_has_maildir_flag
notmuch_message_reindex
notmuch_message_remove_all_properties_with_prefix
notmuch_thread_get_total_files

The current behaviour is at best under-documented. The modified test in
T470-missing-headers.sh previously relied on printf doing the right
thing with NULL, which seems icky.
The use of talloc_strdup here is probably overkill, but it avoids
having to enforce that thread->authors is never mutated outside
_resolve_thread_authors_string.
Here's the configuration choice for people who want a cleartext index,
but don't want stashed session keys.
Interestingly, this "nostash" decryption policy is actually the same
policy that should be used by "notmuch show" and "notmuch reply",
since they never modify the index or database when they are invoked
with --decrypt.
We take advantage of this parallel to tune the behavior of those
programs so that we're not requesting session keys from GnuPG during
"show" and "reply" that we would then otherwise just throw away.
If you're going to store the cleartext index of an encrypted message,
in most situations you might just as well store the session key.
Doing this storage has efficiency and recoverability advantages.
Combined with a schedule of regular OpenPGP subkey rotation and
destruction, this can also offer security benefits, like "deletable
e-mail", which is the store-and-forward analog to "forward secrecy".
But wait, i hear you saying, i have a special need to store cleartext
indexes but it's really bad for me to store session keys! Maybe
(let's imagine) i get lots of e-mails with incriminating photos
attached, and i want to be able to search for them by the text in the
e-mail, but i don't want someone with access to the index to be
actually able to see the photos themselves.
Fret not, the next patch in this series will support your wacky
uncommon use case.
There are some situations where the user wants to get rid of the
cleartext index of a message. For example, if they're indexing
encrypted messages normally, but suddenly they run across a message
that they really don't want any trace of in their index.
In that case, the natural thing to do is:
notmuch reindex --decrypt=false id:whatever@example.biz
But of course, clearing the cleartext index without clearing the
stashed session key is just silly. So we do the expected thing and
also destroy any stashed session keys while we're destroying the index
of the cleartext.
Note that stashed session keys are stored in the xapian database, but
xapian does not currently allow safe deletion (see
https://trac.xapian.org/ticket/742).
As a workaround, after removing session keys and cleartext material
from the database, the user probably should do something like "notmuch
compact" to try to purge whatever recoverable data is left in the
xapian freelist. This problem really needs to be addressed within
xapian, though, if we want it fixed right.
The new "auto" decryption policy is not only good for "notmuch show"
and "notmuch reindex". It's also useful for indexing messages --
there's no good reason to not try to go ahead and index the cleartext
of a message that we have a stashed session key for.
This change updates the defaults and tunes the test suite to make sure
that they have taken effect.
In our consolidation of _notmuch_crypto_decrypt, the callers lost
track a little bit of whether any actual decryption was attempted.
Now that we have the more-subtle "auto" policy, it's possible that
_notmuch_crypto_decrypt could be called without having any actual
decryption take place.
This change lets the callers be a little bit smarter about whether or
not any decryption was actually attempted.
This new automatic decryption policy should make it possible to
decrypt messages that we have stashed session keys for, without
incurring a call to the user's asymmetric keys.
Future patches in this series will introduce new policies; this merely
readies the way for them.
We also convert --try-decrypt to a keyword argument instead of a boolean.
