If you're already an emacs user, then you'll find the +interface of notmuch very comfortable, (looks a lot like sup, but lives +inside of emacs). Even outside of emacs, the command line interface of +notmuch gives view *fairly* similar to those of sup: + + notmuch search tag:inbox # Very much like sup's inbox + + notmuch show thread:some-thread-id # A lot like sup's thread -view + +The command-line output right now isn't nearly as neat as sup's, (it +doesn't elide comments--it doesn't do the indenting of threads, etc.), +even though the command-line interface has all the information it needs +to do that. The reason for that is to let the emacs code own most of the +formatting, (so that it can be more flexible--such as making hidden +things visible, changing column widths, etc.). + +But one thing I wonder is if there would be situations where it would +make sense to get the cleaner output directly out of the command-line +tool. + +For example, for someone who isn't an emacs user, the command-line +interface might be their only introduction to what the "notmuch +experience" is like. So maybe "notmuch show" should give nice clean +output by default and then the emacs code could call "notmuch show +--format=emacs-friendly" or something to get the current output. + +That's an idea anyway. + +-Carl +
