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.
2009-10-30notmuch.el: Add notmuch-search command as well as notmuchCarl Worth
This allows for entering a query string interactively.
2009-10-30notmuch.el: Copy copyright information from compilation.elCarl Worth
I'm using that file as my reference here, so I'm likely to end up copying some code here or there. Might as well be safe and just copy the copyright statement.
2009-10-30notmuch.el: Rename from notmuch-mode.el to notmuch.elCarl Worth
Also add the copyright and licensing blurb.
2009-10-30notmuch-mode: Add an actualy notmuch-search-mode as wellCarl Worth
Doesn't really do anything so far other than mark the buffer read- only. This does have the benefit of giving us our own name rather than "Compilation" for the mode.
2009-10-30The very beginnings of an emacs mode for notmuch in notmuch-mode.el.Carl Worth
As expected, there's not much done here yet---it simply displays the output of "notmuch search" in a new window.
2009-10-30TODO: Add man page and compiling a libnotmuch library to the list.Carl Worth
These are things we'll want done before any big announcement.
2009-10-30Makefile: Add a simple target for "make install".Carl Worth
The more I do here, the less I see the need for autotools.
2009-10-30TODO: Note that "notmuch show" exists now and list several new ideas.Carl Worth
The timestamp stuff we'll want to do soon, since it's a database change, (though not a major one---at worst a handful of stale timestamp documents would be left in the database).
2009-10-29Fix relative date formatting to not split one day into two formats.Carl Worth
We were aware of this bug when we wrote the function, (that a date six days in the past would be treated as the "Friday" or as the "Oct. 23" case depending on whether its time was before or after the current time today). We thought it wouldn't be a problem, but in practice it is. In scanning search results with this output, the transition between formats makes it look like a day boundary, (so it would be easy to mistakenly think "Oct. 23" is Thursday). Fix this to avoid confusion, (still being careful to never print "Thursday" for a date 7 days in the past when today is Thursday).
2009-10-29notmuch search: Add (relative) date to search outputCarl Worth
The new function for formatting relative dates is nice enough that we need to start using it more places. Here's one of them.
2009-10-29notmuch show: Add a one-line summary of the message before the header.Carl Worth
The idea here is that a client could usefully display just this one line while optionally hiding the other header fields.
2009-10-29notmuch show: Trim down header list.Carl Worth
This is for now a non-configurable list of Subject, From, To, Cc, Bcc, and Date.
2009-10-29notmuch show: Add body of message as well.Carl Worth
This is just the raw message body for now, (so any MIME parsing will be up to the consumer). And this will likely change in the future.
2009-10-29notmuch show: Initial implementation (headers only)Carl Worth
We're using a delimiter syntax that Keith is optimistic about being able to easily parse in emacs. Note: We're not escaping any occurrence of the delimiters in the message yet, so we'll need to fix that.
2009-10-28TODO: Update now that full-text indexing is in.Carl Worth
The optimization idea removed here doesn't make sense anymore with full-text indexing happening up front.
2009-10-28Fix add_message and get_filename to strip/re-add the database path.Carl Worth
We now store only a relative path inside the database so the database is not nicely relocatable.
2009-10-28notmuch setup/new: Print progress once per second instead of after 1000 files.Carl Worth
With the recent addition of full-text indexing, printing only once per 1000 files just isn't often enough. The new timer-based approach will be reliable regardless of the speed of adding message.
2009-10-28index: Don't bother indexing quoted portions of messages (and signatures).Carl Worth
Our old notmuch-index-message.cc code had this, but I originally left it out when adding indexing back in. I was concerned primarily with mistakenly detecting signature markers and omitting important text, (for example, I often do long lines of "----" as section separators). But now I see that there's a performance benefit to skippint the quotations, (about 120 files/sec. instead of 95 files/sec.). I mitigated the bogus signature checking by recognizing nothing other than the all-time classic "-- ".
2009-10-28notmuch_database_add_message: Sanity check the file as the first thingCarl Worth
This avoids us wasting a bunch of time doing an expensive SHA-1 over a large file only to discover later that it doesn't even *look* like an email message.
2009-10-28Tweak formatting of internal error messages.Carl Worth
Was neglecting to print the phrase "Internal error: " before, and for the duplicate message-ID error it's nice to actually see the duplicate IDs.
2009-10-28index: Store "Full Name <user@example.com>" addressses in the databaseCarl Worth
We put these is as a separate term so that they can be extracted. We don't actually need this for searching, since typing an email address in as a search term will already trigger a phrase search that does exactly what's wanted.
2009-10-28Add full-text indexing using the GMime library for parsing.Carl Worth
This is based on the old notmuch-index-message.cc from early in the history of notmuch, but considerably cleaned up now that we have some experience with Xapian and know just what we want to index, (rather than just blindly trying to index exactly what sup does). This does slow down notmuch_database_add_message a *lot*, but I've got some ideas for getting some time back.
