Since the beginning of time, the emacs interface provided a keybinding of 'r' to reply to a message, (and originally, all recipients).
Then, before release 0.12 the emacs interface acquired a new reply-to-sender only feature. In commit f02b475fa781bb5df3358c73213e7633a99f016e the new feature was put onto the original keybinding, (and reply-to-all was moved to 'R'). This restores the original keybinding and uses the new keybinding for the new feature. --- The commit message above motivates this change from the point of view of interface compatibility. That argument would have been stronger if I had made it in January, (at the time of the change), rather than now, (since there's now a new incompatiblity made by changing things back). That said, I still think the compatibility argument is sound. I have other feelings as to which reply behavior should be treated preferentially. But those are potentially more controversial, so I'll leave the bikeshedding out of our commit history. Thanks to everyone keeping notmuch alive and well during my extended absence from maintainership. What a tremendous free-software success story this all is. I'm so grateful to all of you. -Carl emacs/notmuch-show.el | 4 ++-- emacs/notmuch.el | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/emacs/notmuch-show.el b/emacs/notmuch-show.el index 4349836..399a8bd 100644 --- a/emacs/notmuch-show.el +++ b/emacs/notmuch-show.el @@ -1145,8 +1145,8 @@ reset based on the original query."
