From d5068983b87c76798399d1d4d26e638e2feb6e0d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Carl Worth Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:57:05 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] notmuch.el: Display authors in a column separate from subject. This makes it much easier to actually read the subject lines. The user can set notmuch-search-authors-width to control the width of the column. Two possible ideas for improving this support further: 1. Make the excess authors invisible instead of removing them from the buffer, (which means that isearch could still find them). 2. Have the user variable control a percentage of the window width rather than being a fixed number of columns. --- notmuch.el | 15 ++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/notmuch.el b/notmuch.el index 07193066..6d609dba 100644 --- a/notmuch.el +++ b/notmuch.el @@ -658,6 +658,9 @@ thread from that buffer can be show when done with this one)."
