Previously, reply's default text format used an odd mix of RFC 2045 MIME encoding for the reply template's body and some made-up RFC 2822-like UTF-8 format for the headers. The intent was to present the headers to the user in a nice, un-encoded format, but this assumed that whatever ultimately sent the email would RFC 2047-encode the headers, while at the same time the body was already RFC 2045 encoded, so it assumed that whatever sent the email would *not* re-encode the body. This can be fixed by either producing a fully decoded UTF-8 reply template, or a fully encoded MIME-compliant RFC 2822 message. This patch does the latter because it is a) Well-defined by RFC 2822 and MIME (while any UTF-8 format would be ad hoc). b) Ready to be piped to sendmail. The point of the text format is to be minimal, so a user should be able to pop up the template in whatever editor they want, edit it, and push it to sendmail. c) Consistent with frontend capabilities. If a frontend has the smarts to RFC 2047 encode the headers before sending the mail, it probably has the smarts to RFC 2047 decode them before presenting the template to a user for editing. Also, as far as I know, nothing automated consumes the reply text format, so changing this should not cause serious problems. (And if anything does still consume this format, it probably gets these encoding issues wrong anyway.) |

Notmuch - thread-based email index, search and tagging. Notmuch is a system for indexing, searching, reading, and tagging large collections of email messages in maildir or mh format. It uses the Xapian library to provide fast, full-text search with a convenient search syntax. Notmuch is free software, released under the GNU General Public License version 3 (or later). Building notmuch ---------------- See the INSTALL file for notes on compiling and installing notmuch. Running notmuch --------------- After installing notmuch, start by running "notmuch setup" which will interactively prompt for configuration information such as your name, email address, and the directory which contains your mail archive to be indexed. You can change any answers later by running "notmuch setup" again or by editing the .notmuch-config file in your home directory. With notmuch configured you should next run "notmuch new" which will index all of your existing mail. This can take a long time, (several hours) if you have a lot of email, (hundreds of thousands of files). When new mail is delivered to your mail archive in the future, you will want to run "notmuch new" again. These runs will be much faster as they will only index new messages. Finally, you can prove to yourself that things are working by running some command-line searches such as "notmuch search from:someone@example.com" or "notmuch search subject:topic". See "notmuch help search-terms" for more details on the available search syntax. The command-line search output is not expected to be particularly friendly for day-to-day usage. Instead, it is expected that you will use an email interface that builds on the notmuch command-line tool or the libnotmuch library. Notmuch installs a full-featured email interface for use within emacs. To use this, first add the following line to your .emacs file: (require 'notmuch) Then, either run "emacs -f notmuch" or execute the command "M-x notmuch" from within a running emacs. If you're interested in a non-emacs-based interface to notmuch, then please join the notmuch community. Various other interfaces are already in progress, (an interface within vim, a curses interface, graphical interfaces based on evolution, and various web-based interfaces). The authors of these interfaces would love further testing or contribution. See contact information below.
