Dear notmuch developers
The notmuch test suite depends on some external dependencies to finish
successfully (i.e. no failures but maybe some skips), one of them being Emacs.
As I had no Emacs installed, I discovered that some tests fail and do not state
properly that Emacs is needed for them.
Below are small sed commands (was easier this way) which put the
"test_require_external_prereq emacs" to the missing places.
For some tests (those which test Emacs capabilities) it is clear that Emacs is
a necessity, some tests in particular the crypto tests (T350, T355, T357) do
require Emacs only for generating a initial mail to index/test on. Here it
would in my opinion be better to find an alternative way of producing that
e-mail so these tests can be run without Emacs (That would reduce the long list
of test names below tremendously). A promising approach would be using the same
idea as the last tests in T357-index-decryption.sh, they use "add_email_corpus
crypto" for (what seems to me) populating the mail archive.
