Emacs interface (notmuch.el)
----------------------------
+Switch the notmuch-search view to use "notmuch search --format=json"
+to fix large classes of bugs regarding poorly-escaped output and lame
+regular expressions. (The most recently found, unfixed example is the
+sender's name containing ';' which causes emacs to drop a search
+result.) This may require removing the outer array from the current
+"notmuch search --format=json" results.
+
Enhance '+' and '-' in the search view to operate on an entire region
if set.
Fix i-search to open up invisible citations as necessary.
+Make '=' count from the end rather than from the beginning if more
+than half-way through the buffer.
+
+Fix to automatically wrap long headers (for RFC compliance) before
+sending. This should probably just be fixed in message-mode itself,
+(but perhaps we can have a notmuch-message-mode that layers this on
+top).
+
+Implement Fcc and use it for all messages, (whether a new composition,
+a reply, or a forward). This again may require a notmuch-message-mode
+that extends message-mode.
+
+Stop hiding the headers so much in the thread-view mode.
+
+Allow opening a message in thread-view mode by clicking on either
+line.
+
+Automatically open a message when navigating to it with N or P.
+
+Change 'a' command in thread-view mode to only archive open messages.
+
+Add a binding to open all closed messages.
+
+Make all authors and subjects available to isearch, (hidden by default
+but with magic expansion while isearching).
+
+Fix notmuch-hello as follows:
+
+ 1. Change the "notmuch" and message count in the welcome sentence to
+ not be buttons.
+
+ 2. Put the saved searches (if any) before the search bar.
+
+ 3. When `notmuch-hello' (or even `notmuch' when it gets its new name)
+ is invoked directly, move to the first button, (go to point-min and
+ then call widget-forward). That is, if the user has any saved
+ searches, then point will be on the first one. If the user has no
+ saved searches, then point will be on the search bar.
+
+ 4. Fix refresh of notmuch-hello to leave point in the same logical
+ place, (the same saved-search widget at least).
+
+Change the 'a'rchive command in the thread view to only archive open
+messages.
+
+Emacs saved-search interface
+----------------------------
+Here's a proposal Carl wrote (id:87einafy4u.fsf@yoom.home.cworth.org):
+
+ So what I'm imagining for the default notmuch view is something like
+ this:
+
+ Welcome to notmuch.
+
+ Notmuch search: _________________________________________
+
+ Saved searches:
+
+ 55,342 All messages
+ 22 Inbox
+
+ Recent searches:
+
+ 1 from:"someone special" and tag:unread
+ 34 tag:notmuch and tag:todo
+
+ Click (or press Enter) on any search to see the results.
+ Right-click (or press Space) on any recent search to save it.
+
+ So the "saved searches" portion of the view is basically just what
+ notmuch-folder displays now. Above that there's an obvious place to
+ start a new search, (in a slightly more "web-browser-like" way than the
+ typical mini-buffer approach).
+
+ All recent searches appear in the list at the bottom automatically, and
+ there's the documented mechanism for saving a search, (giving it a name
+ and having it appear above).
+
Portability
-----------
Fix configure script to test each compiler warning we want to use.
notmuch command-line tool
-------------------------
+Replace "notmuch reply" with "notmuch compose --reply <search-terms>".
+This would enable a plain "notmuch compose" to be used to construct an
+initial message, (which would then have the properly configured name
+and email address in the From: line. We could also then easily support
+"notmuch compose --from <something>" to support getting at alternate
+email addresses.
+
Fix the --format=json option to not imply --entire-thread.
Implement "notmuch search --exclude-threads=<search-terms>" to allow
Allow configuration for filename patterns that should be ignored when
indexing.
+Replace the "notmuch part --part=id" command with "notmuch show
+--part=id", (David Edmonson wants to rewrite some of "notmuch show" to
+provide more MIME-structure information in its output first).
+
+Replace the "notmuch search-tags" command with "notmuch search
+--output=tags".
+
+Fix to avoid this ugly message:
+
+ (process:17197): gmime-CRITICAL **: g_mime_message_get_mime_part: assertion `GMIME_IS_MESSAGE (message)' failed
+ Warning: Not indexing empty mime part.
+
+ This probably means adding a test case to generate that message,
+ filing an upstream bug against GMime, and then silencing the
+ notmuch-generated portion of the warning (so that once GMime is
+ fixed, this is all silent).
+
+Simplify notmuch-reply to simply print the headers (we have the
+original values) rather than calling GMime (which encodes) and adding
+the confusing gmime-filter-headers.c code (which decodes).
+
notmuch library
---------------
+Add an interface to accept a "key" and a byte stream, rather than a
+filename.
+
Provide a sane syntax for date ranges. First, we don't want to require
both endpoints to be specified. For example it would be nice to be
able to say things like "since:2009-01-1" or "until:2009-01-1" and
encountered, (I noticed this is one thing that kept me from seeing the
same message-ID values as sup).
-Add support for the user to specify custom headers to be indexed.
-
Add support for configuring "virtual tags" which are a tuple of
(tag-name, search-specification). The database is responsible for
ensuring that the virtual tag is always consistent.
Provide a ~me Xapian synonym for all of the user's configured email
addresses.
+Add symbol hiding so that we don't risk leaking any private symbols
+into the shared-library interface.
+
+Audit all libnotmuch entry points to ensure that all Xapian calls are
+wrapped in a try/catch block.
+
+Fix the "count" functionality to be exact as Olly explained in IRC:
+
+ ojwb> cworth: if you set the check_at_least parameter to the
+ database size, get_matches_estimated() will be exact
+
+Search syntax
+-------------
+Implement support for "tag:*" to expand to all tags.
+
+Fix "notmuch search to:" to be less confusing. Many users expect this
+to search for all messages with a To: header, but it instead searches
+for all messages with the word "to". If we don't provide the first
+behavior, perhaps we should exit on an error when a configured prefix
+is provided with no value?
+
+Support "*" in all cases and not just as a special case. That is, "* "
+should also work, as well as "* and tag:inbox".
+
+Implement a syntax for requesting set-theoertic operations on results
+of multiple searches. For example, I would like to do:
+
+ "tag:inbox" SET-SUBTRACT "tag:muted"
+
+ as well as:
+
+ "tag:notmuch and <date-range>" SET-INTERSECT
+ "tag:notmuch and not (tag:merged or tag:postponed)"
+
+ See id:3wdpr282yz2.fsf@testarossa.amd.com for more details on the
+ use cases of the above.
+
+Database changes
+----------------
+Store a reference term for every message-id that appears in
+References. We just started doing this for newly-added documents, but
+at the next convenient database-schema upgrade, we should go back and
+fix old messages to be consistent.
+
+Start indexing the List-Id header, (and re-index this header for
+existing messages at the next database upgrade).
+
+Start indexing the message file's directory ana make it available for
+search as "folder:" (and re-index this value for existing messages at
+the next database upgrade).
+
+Add support for the user to specify custom headers to be indexed (and
+re-index these for existing messages at the next database upgrade).
+
+Test suite
+----------
+Start testing --format=json.
+
+Achieve 100% test coverage with the test suite.
+
+Modularize test suite (to be able to run individual tests).
+
+Summarize test results at the end.
+
+Fix the insane quoting nightmare of the test suite, (and once we do
+that we can actually test the implicit-phrase search feature such as
+"notmuch search 'body search (phrase)'"
+
+Test "notmuch reply" choosing the correct email address from the
+Received header when no configured email address appears in To or Cc.
+
General
-------
Audit everything for dealing with out-of-memory (and drop xutil.c).
-Achieve 100% test coverage with the test suite.
-
Investigate why the notmuch database is slightly larger than the sup
database for the same corpus of email.
+
+Makefile should print message teaching user about LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or
+similar) if libdir is not set to a directory examined by ldconfig.
+
+Fix notmuch build system to work with gold, (apt-get
+binutils-gold). Need the notmuch binary to explicitly link againsts
+libraries it depends on, (rather than just getting them via
+libnotmuch).
