Subject: emacs: Cycle through notmuch buffers rather than jumping to the last.
X-Git-Tag: debian/0.12_rc1-1~207
X-Git-Url: https://git.notmuchmail.org/git?p=notmuch;a=commitdiff_plain;h=ef5c1d73f8e736425682dc4db0ce285e6e2de0f5

emacs: Cycle through notmuch buffers rather than jumping to the last.

As suggested by j4ni in #notmuch, rename
`notmuch-jump-to-recent-buffer' as `notmuch-cycle-notmuch-buffers' and
have it behave accordingly.

Consider `message-mode' buffers to be of interest.
