See the +`notmuch(1)` man page for details + +Emacs +----- + +### Postpone and resume messages in `notmuch-message-mode` (composition) + +Notmuch now has built in support for postponing, saving and resuming +messages. The default bindings are C-x C-s to save a draft, C-c C-p +to postpone a draft (save and exit compose buffer), and "e" in show +or tree view to resume. + +Draft messages are tagged with `notmuch-draft-tags` (draft by +default) so you may wish to add that to the excluded tags list. When +saving a previously saved draft message the earlier draft gets +tagged deleted. + +Note that attachments added before postponing will be included as +they were when you postponed in the final message. + +### Address Completion + +It is now possible to save the list of address completions for +notmuch's internal completion between runs of emacs. This makes the +first calls to address completion much better and faster. For +privacy reasons it is disabled by default, to enable set or +customize `notmuch-address-save-filename`. + +### Tag jump menu + +It is now possible to configure tagging shortcuts (with an interface +like notmuch jump). For example (by default) k u will remove the +unread tag, and k s will add a tag "spam" and remove the inbox +tag. Pressing k twice will do the reverse operation so, for example, +k k s removes the spam tag and adds the inbox tag. See the customize +variable `notmuch-tagging-keys` for more information. + +### Refresh all buffers + +It is now possible to refresh all notmuch buffers to reflect the +current state of the database with a single command, `M-=`. + +### Stop display of application/* parts + +By default gnus displays all application/* parts such as +application/zip in the message buffer. This has several undesirable +effects for notmuch (security, triggering errors etc). Notmuch now +overrides this and does not display them by default. If you have +customized `mm-inline-override-types` then we assume you know what +you want and do not interfere; if you do want to stop the display of +application/* add application/* to your customization. If you want +to allow application/* then set `mm-inline-override-types` to +"non/existent". + +### Small change in the api for notmuch-search-tag + +When `notmuch-search-tag` is called non-interactively and the region +is set, then it only tags the threads in the region. (Previously it +only tagged the current thread.) + +### Bugfix for sending messages with very long headers + +Previously emacs didn't fold very long headers when sending which +could cause the MTA to refuse to send the message. This makes sure +it does fold any long headers so the message is RFC compliant. + +### `notmuch emacs-mua` command installed with the Emacs interface + +We've carried a `notmuch-emacs-mua` script in the source tree for +quite some time. It can be used to launch the Notmuch Emacs +interface from the command line in many different ways. Starting +with this release, it will be installed with the Emacs +interface. With the new external subcommand support, the script +transparently becomes a new notmuch command. See the +`notmuch-emacs-mua(1)` man page for details. + +### Notmuch Emacs desktop integration + +The desktop integration file will now be installed with the Notmuch +Emacs interface, adding a Notmuch menu item and configuration to +allow the user to set up Notmuch Emacs as the `mailto:` URL handler. + +Library changes +--------------- + +### `notmuch_query_count_messages` is now non-destructive + +Internally the implementation of excludes has changed to make this +possible. + +### Improved handling of DatabaseModifiedError + +Previously uncaught exceptions reading message metadata are now +handled. -- 2.43.0
