emacs: Fix packaging

2016-04-16T11:24:42Z

Refer to (info "(elisp) Library Headers") for package conventions.

emacs: Allow part preferences to depend on message content.

2016-04-09T19:17:20Z

Currently the preference for which sub-part of a multipart/alternative part is shown is global. Allow to the user to override the settings on a per-message basis by providing the ability to call a function that has access to the message to return the discouraged type list. The original approach is retained as the default.

emacs: Improve the acquisition of text parts.

2016-03-27T20:44:24Z

`notmuch-get-bodypart-text' assumed that it is always possible to acquire text/* parts via the sexp output format. This is not true if the part in question has a content type of application/octet-stream but is being interpreted as text/* based on the extension of the part filename. Rework `notmuch-get-bodypart-text' to use the raw output format to address this and make the implementation common with that of `notmuch-get-bodypart-binary'.

emacs: poll: return useful errors when poll fails.

2015-11-23T12:37:19Z

Previously poll called from emacs would fail silently. This makes it return a useful error message. In the non-deprecated case of notmuch new and appropriate hooks, it uses notmuch-call-notmuch-process which gives an error and additionally puts the stdout/stderr etc in the *Notmuch errors* buffer. In the deprecated case of a custom poll script it only returns an error message. Commit based on a bug report, and a potential fix, by Ketil Malde.

Emacs: Add address completion mechanism implemented in elisp

2015-10-27T11:01:05Z

Currently, notmuch has an address completion mechanism that requires external command to provide completion candidates. This commit adds a completion mechanism inspired by https://github.com/tjim/nevermore, which is implemented in Emacs lisp only. The preexisting address completion mechanism, activated by pressing TAB on To/Cc lines, is extended to use the new mechanism when notmuch-address-command to 'internal, which is the new default. The core of the new mechanism is the function notmuch-address-harvest, which collects the completion candidates from the notmuch database and stores them in notmuch-address-completions variable. The address harvesting can run either synchronously (same as with the previous mechanism) or asynchronously. When the user presses TAB for the first time, synchronous harvesting limited to user entered text is performed. If the entered text is reasonably long, this operation is relatively fast. Then, asynchronous harvesting over the full database is triggered. This operation may take long time (minutes on rotating disk). After it finishes, no harvesting is normally performed again and subsequent completion requests use the harvested data cached in memory. Completion cache is updated after 24 hours. Note that this commit restores (different) completion functionality for users when the user used external command named "notmuch-addresses", i.e. the old default. The result will be that the user will use the new mechanism instead of this command. I believe that many users may not even recognize this because the new mechanism works the same as http://commonmeasure.org/~jkr/git/notmuch_addresses.git and perhaps also as other commands suggested at http://notmuchmail.org/emacstips/#address_completion. [This feature was significantly improved by David Bremner and Mark Walters]

emacs: prefer notmuch-emacs-version in User-Agent: header

2015-08-04T18:56:38Z

Now that we have `notmuch-emacs-version' defined in notmuch emacs MUA use that as a part of User-Agent: header to provide more accurate version information when sending emails. In case some incomplete installation of notmuch emacs MUA is used and `notmuch-emacs-version' is defined as "unknown" then fall back to ask version info from cli (as it used to be before this commit). Requiring notmuch-version[.elc] and if that is missing setting "fallback" notmuch-emacs-version (to "unknown") was moved from notmuch.el to notmuch-lib.el as notmuch-mua.el (which provides User-Agent: information) require's the latter.

emacs: renamed function notmuch-version to notmuch-cli-version

2015-08-04T18:56:28Z

As it asks `notmuch` binary for its version number.

emacs: Support caching in notmuch-get-bodypart-{binary,text}

2015-01-25T17:39:13Z

(The actual code change here is small, but requires re-indenting existing code.)

emacs: Return unibyte strings for binary part data

2015-01-25T17:39:13Z

Unibyte strings are meant for representing binary data. In practice, using unibyte versus multibyte strings affects *almost* nothing. It does happen to matter if we use the binary data in an image descriptor (which is, helpfully, not documented anywhere and getting it wrong results in opaque errors like "Not a PNG image: ").
