Change notmuch-mutt to use the new --duplicate=1 flag for duplicate
removal. This will remove duplicates based on message-id at the
notmuch level. Previously we were using fdupes or generating sha sums
after the search.
This version will be faster, but will enable the possibility of hiding
search results due to accidental/malicious duplicate message-ids.
Details:
- $pipe_decode is turned off, to prevent message-id from being
filtered out by "ignore" settings in the muttrc.
- Original values for $pipe_decode and $wait_key are saved and restored.
- The macros, being much longer now, are line wrapped for improved
readability.

Neat, thanks Kevin for debugging the issue down to $pipe_decode (which
I've never used, mutt never stops to amaze me :-)).

Right, but still a more graceful failure model would be nice.
Please find attached a patch that in such cases should 1) give a
supposedly nice error message explaining what's going on and 2) empty
the results dir to avoid showing you unrelated results. It works for me.
But extra checking never hurts, in particular for the tag action, which
I don't personally use.
I guess it would also be nice to actually disable $pipe_decode in the
relevant Mutt macros, but I'm not sure about to do that without
interfering with user desired configuration. Kevin: do you know if there
is a common Mutt trick to store the value of a variable before changing
it, and restoring it a posteriori? More isolation for this kind of
things in Mutt would definitely be welcome...
Cheers.

Subject: [PATCH] notmuch-mutt: more graceful handling of missing Message-Id
errors
in particular:
- the "thread" action would print an error and empty results dir
- the "tag action would print an error
Add a --remove-dups flag which removes duplicate files from search and
thread results. Uses fdupes if installed. Otherwise it runs a size and
Digest::SHA scan on each file to detect duplicates.

When asked for interactive help, lookup notmuch-search-terms(7)
instead of notmuch(1). Syntax of notmuch queries used to be described
in the latter, but has recently been moved to the former.
Closes: #675073 (in the Debian BTS)
