Add a talloc context as the first argument to each command in notmuch.c. -Write a "notmuch show" that displays a single thread. +Write a notmuch man page. + +Compile and install a libnotmuch library. + +Make "notmuch setup" not index all messages, but only what it can do +in a reasonable amount of time, (then add "notmuch index" so the user +can complete the job when convenient). Fix to use the *last* Message-ID header if multiple such headers are 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 automatic tagging of new messages based on particular +search criteria, (likely using an InMemory database for the new +messages). + +Fix notmuch.c to call add_timestamp/get_timestampt with path names +relative to the database path. (Otherwise, moving the database to a +new directory will result in notmuch creating new timestamp documents +and leaving stale ones behind.) + +Fix notmuch.c to use a DIR prefix for directory timestamps, (the idea +being that it can then add other non-directory timestamps such as for +noting how far back in the past mail has been indexed, and whether it +needs to re-tag messages based on a theoretical "auto-tags" +configuration file). + Audit everything for dealing with out-of-memory (and drop xutil.c). Write a test suite. Achieve 100% test coverage with the test suite. - -Think about this race condition: - - A client executes "notmuch search" - Then executes "notmuch show" on a thread - While user is reading, new mail is added to database for the thread - Client asks for the thread to be archived. - - The bug here is that email that was never read will be - archived. That's bad. The fix for the above is for the client to - archive the individual messages already retrieved and shown, not - the thread. (And in fact, we don't even have functions for removing - tags on threads.) - - But this one is harder to fix: - - A client executes "notmuch search" - While user is reading, new mail is added to database for the thread - Client asks for a thread to be archived. - - To support this operation, (archiving a thread without even seeing - the individual messages), we might need to provide a command to - archive a thread as a whole. The problem is actually easy to fix - for a persistent client. It can onto the originally retrieved - thread objects which can hold onto the originally retrieved - messages. So archiving those thread objects, (and not newly created - thread objects), will be safe. - - It's harder to fix the non-persistent "notmuch" client. One - approach is to simply tell the user to not run "notmuch new" - between reading the results of "notmuch search" and executing - "notmuch archive-thread" (or whatever we name it).
