X-Git-Tag: debian/0.6_254~88 X-Git-Url: https://git.notmuchmail.org/git?p=notmuch;a=commitdiff_plain;h=a87a6b99f9f94ec7e0b4299b5824477f9056bab1;ds=sidebyside Don't re-compress .gz & al. in notmuch-show-save-part. Write-region handles some file names specially, see Emacs Lisp manual section 25.11 Making Certain File Names "Magic" [1]. This is a nice feature for normal text editing, but it is not desirable if we need to save raw file content (e.g. attachment). In particular, this affects archives and may result in corrupted attachments saved with notmuch-show-save-part (attachment button click handler). Turns out, smart GNUS folks encountered the same problem and implemented write-region wrapper which inhibits some file name handlers. In particular, this wrapper is used in mm-save-part, which is why notmuch-save-attachments that uses it works fine with archives. The patch replaces write-region with mm-write-region in notmuch-show-save-part. Also it removes coding-system-for-write and require-final-newline setting in notmuch-show-save-part. The former is set in mm-write-region. The latter seems to be unneeded because mm-save-part does not use it.
