2009-11-04notmuch.el: Redefine behavior of notmuch-show-previous-messageCarl Worth
Now, if the user has manually moved point to somewhere within a message, executing the previous-message command onece will rewind point only to the beginning of the current message. Previously this would go back to the previous message, (which the user can now do easily and naturally by simply executing the command one more time).
2009-11-04notmuch.el: Fix notmuch-snow-next-message when on the last message.Carl Worth
Before this just brought the current line to the top of the window. Now it actually moves to the beginning of the current message. This is built on a much more solid foundation now with a function to move to the summary-line of the current message, and then moving from there.
2009-11-03notmuch.el: Add more complete documentation to the major modes.Carl Worth
These now provide a summary of the most useful features/bindings as well as a complete printout of the relevant mode maps to show all available keybindings.
2009-11-03notmuch.el: Make archive-thread advance to next line.Carl Worth
This is the command in notmuch-search mode and it's cer convenient for it to advance to the next line there. (It would be even more convenient if it didn't also take forever, but as mentioned before that's an issue we'll need to fix in Xapian.)
2009-11-03notmuch.el: Add 't' binding to filter results to a specific tag.Carl Worth
This is a convenience function to avoid having to type "tag:" with the (f)ilter command.
2009-11-03notmuch.el: Add bindings for scrolling to notmuch-search mode.Carl Worth
We turn on the scroll-preserve-screen-position option which seems like what's desired here, (though that's not what I normally use when editing files---but I think scrolling through a list of email threads is different).
2009-11-03Drop inapplicable copyright statements.Carl Worth
I had put these in here since I had originally planned to copy liberally from the body of the implementation of 'compile in order to get process output into a buffer. But once I found call-process in the documentation of emacs, that was all I needed. And all the code I've written since has been entirely my own with just the help of emacs documentation.
2009-11-03notmuch-el: Fix implementation of show/hide-thread-ids.Carl Worth
I'm definitely more comfortable with the add-to-invisibility-spec now than I was when I first wrote these functions, (which weren't working at all).
2009-11-03notmuch.el: Add command to (a)rchive a thread from notmuch-show mode.Carl Worth
This is our first race-free implementation of archive-thread! It acts only on the messages explcitly contained in the buffer, not on an entire thread ID, so it's safe in the face of new messages have been delivered for this thread since the view was made.
2009-11-03notmuch.el: Don't try to remove an "unread" tag that's not there.Carl Worth
This optimization wouldn't be necessary if we had a nice fast "notmuch tag" command. But since it's currently fairly slow, (see Xapian defect 250: http://trac.xapian.org/ticket/250), we're willing to take some extra care to avoid calling "notmuch tag" unnecessarily.
2009-11-03notmuch show: Remove custom "unread" hack, (printing tag in two locations).Carl Worth
I previously had a hack that special-cased the "unread" tag and printed it on the same line as the message ID. But now that we are printing all tags at the end of the one-line summary we don't need this anymore. Get rid of it, and just read "unread" from the list of tags just like any other tag.
2009-11-03notmuch.el: Add + and - bindings to add/remove tags from messages.Carl Worth
This is in notmuch-show mode rather than in notmuch-search mode, (where we had + and - working already). This gives the same visual feedback as in notmuch-search-mode, (the tags are manipulated first in the database and then the list of tags in the buffer is updated).
2009-11-03notmuch show: Print tags for each message.Carl Worth
This is in the one-line summary so should always be visible even in our emacs client that's so eager to make things invisible.
2009-11-03notmuch.el: Preserve current thread when refreshing search results.Carl Worth
Otherwise, try to keep point in the same place, (such as when the current thread has been archived away).
2009-11-03notmuch.el: Add an '=' key to refresh the current view.Carl Worth
This will allow for updates when a separate process (say, a notmuch- show buffer), has archived messages.
2009-11-03notmuch.el: Mark messages read when the (n)ext keybinding is pressedCarl Worth
Of course, technically, we're removing the "unread" tag, but you get the idea. :-)
2009-11-03notmuch.el: Hide citations and signatures.Carl Worth
The user can make these visible again by pressing 'c' or 's', (though we'd like to move to direct manipulation instead soon).
2009-11-03Hide bodies of message that have already been read.Carl Worth
Also hide all markers. From here, all we really need for legibility is the following: * Hide away citations and signatures * Call out the one-line summary some way, (larger font size?) * Add nesting for replies
2009-11-02notmuch.el: Hide email headers by default.Carl Worth
The display of the header can be toggled with the 'h' key.
2009-11-02notmuch show: Switch to control character to mark sections of outputCarl Worth
We were previously using things like "%message{" which were not guaranteed to never appear in an email message. Using a control character (^L or '\f' instead of '%') gives us better assurance that our delimiter doesn't show up in an original email message. This still isn't entirely safe since we're decoding encoded text in the body of the email message so almost all bets are off really.
2009-11-02notmuch.el: Make 'n' and 'p' bring the current message to the top.Carl Worth
This is much more convenient for reading the messages, and happens to match the behavior of sup.
2009-11-02notmuch.el: Add (n)ext and (p)revious bindings to notmuch-show mode.Carl Worth
Almost starting to get usable now. Still need to make it mark messages as they are read, (by removing the unread tag), and selectively hiding the full header.
2009-11-02TODO: Add an idea from talking with keithp on the train.Carl Worth
I mentioned the read-only directory optimization to Keith, and he liked it but wanted to be able to configure it to be fully automated.
2009-11-02notmuch.el: Add '<' and '>' bindings to goto first/last thread.Carl Worth
Also, take care to remove a final blank line to avoid the point going beyond the last thread in the buffer.
2009-11-02TODO: Organize tasks based on emacs interface, command-line tool, or library.Carl Worth
There are conceptually three different projects here, so it helps to keep the tasks for each separated.
2009-11-02notmuch.el: Add commands to (s)earch globally, and (f)ilter a searchCarl Worth
Also add 'q' and 'x' keybindings to kill the current buffer.
2009-11-02Tweak relative dates to be close to the same length.Carl Worth
Most all of the returned strings will now fill most of a 12-character string, (depending on the length of the month).
2009-11-02Remove notmuch_message_get_header_size and notmuch_message_get_all_headersCarl Worth
The notmuch.c main program now uses GMime directly rather than using these functions, and I'd rather not export any functions unless we have good evidence that the functions are necessary.
2009-11-02notmuch.el: Hide thread IDs in notmuch-search mode.Carl Worth
One more baby step toward something that's pleasant to use.
2009-11-02notmuch.el: Implement visual feedback for add/remove tags.Carl Worth
There's no undo still, but at least you can see what you are doing now.
2009-11-02Drop date.c file, (use identical function from GMime instead).Carl Worth
We had originally copied this function in at a time when notmuch wasn't actually depending on the GMime library. Now that it does, we might as well call the function that exists there rather than having a private copy of it.
2009-11-02notmuch show: Don't print non-text MIME parts.Carl Worth
Additionally, print a part number for each MIME part so that the client could (conceivably) ask for the contents of a specific part by part number.
2009-11-02Fix to decode header values, (primarily subject).Carl Worth
Use GMime function to decode message-header values according to RFC 2047.
2009-11-02Print "part" markers for each MIME part (with Content-type).Carl Worth
This can allow for the client to hide undesired MIME parts such as text/html.
2009-11-02notmuch show: Use GMime to decode messages.Carl Worth
We now actually get text content rather than blocks of BASE64, etc.
2009-11-02TODO: Add several items.Carl Worth
These are the things that are actively preventing me from being able to use notmuch as an email-reading client.
2009-11-02Add an INSTALL file.Carl Worth
The README file was already referring to this, so we actually add it now.
2009-11-02Add a simple configure script.Carl Worth
This is *not* based on autoconf. In fact, this doesn't actually configure anything, (one can compile notmuch directly with just "make" without running configure if the dependencies are all satisfied). The only thing that this configure script does is to check for the presence of the various dependencies and provide some guidance to the user if they are not all available.
2009-11-02Makefile: Rewrite to use NOTMUCH rather than MY in variable names.Carl Worth
I was about to refer to these names in some documentation, so I wanted a slightly better name for them.
2009-11-02README: Add a simple file explaining notmuch and pointing out resources.Carl Worth
This is part of getting notmuch ready for a more public announcement.
2009-11-02Add a simple manual page for notmuch.Carl Worth
By pulling content out of notmuch help, and also the messages printed by "notmuch setup".
2009-10-31notmuch: Add a talloc context argument to each top-level command function.Carl Worth
I had noticed several times earlier that having a talloc context passed in would make things more convenient. I'm not exercising that convenience yet, but the context is there now, (and there's one fewer item on our TODO list).
2009-10-31Rename message_results/thread_results to messages/threads.Carl Worth
Shorter naming without being any less clear. A definite win.
2009-10-31notmuch.el: Add commands to add tag, remove tag, and archive (== remove inbox tag)Carl Worth
These have keybindings of '+', '-', and 'a'. The bug they have so far is lack of visual feedback for their effect, and lack of undo. (Also the fact that adding or removing a single tag for a thread takes way too long--but that's as a Xapian issue as discussed here: replace_document should make minimal changes to database file http://trac.xapian.org/ticket/250 )
2009-10-31notmuch: Reference help, don't print it for unknown commands.Carl Worth
The shorter output is much nicer for something that might end up in an emacs mini-buffer, for example.
2009-10-31notmuch.el: Add final '*' to generated buffer names.Carl Worth
Just looks a little neater that way.
2009-10-31notmuch.el: Enter now calls "notmuch show" on the current threadCarl Worth
It's remarkable how little code we need for a very functional GUI here. I think we're doing something right.
2009-10-31notmuch.el: Start fleshing out notmuch-search-mode with a custom keymapCarl Worth
All we have here so far is 'n' and 'p' for going to next and previous lines respectively.
2009-10-31notmuch.el: Switch from start-process to call-processCarl Worth
We now get the point staying right at the top where we want it. We also don't get any extraneous noise about "Process notmuch completed" or anything like that. Just the output in a read-only buffer.
2009-10-30notmuch.el: Switch from compilation-start to start-processCarl Worth
Compilation mode does a bunch of things that we don't want. Instead of trying to tear it down to what we want, let's start at the other end and build up only things that we really want.
