From 92c3fd938e7a4e86edbc872eb5348dc048ec0e78 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Austin Clements Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2014 18:19:54 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] emacs: Use whitelist instead of blacklist for term escaping Previously, the term escaper used a blacklist of characters that needed escaping. This blacklist turned out to be somewhat incomplete; for example, it did not contain non-whitespace ASCII control characters or Unicode "fancy quotes", both of which do require the term to be escaped. Switch to a whitelist of characters that are definitely safe to leave unquoted. This fixes the broken test introduced by the previous patch. --- emacs/notmuch-lib.el | 5 ++++- test/T310-emacs.sh | 1 - 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/emacs/notmuch-lib.el b/emacs/notmuch-lib.el index fa7646fe..959764e3 100644 --- a/emacs/notmuch-lib.el +++ b/emacs/notmuch-lib.el @@ -426,7 +426,10 @@ user-friendly queries."
