[PATCH] configure: Fix syntax error (spaces in assignment).

Thanks, Gregor.

I went through all the work to try to make the over-linking conditional,
and then only tested carefully on OS X, (not noticing that I'd broken
the Linux case just as much as if I had accepted the unconditional
version).

This is pushed now.

I think the semantics have always been specified well, and
documented. Have you hit the '?' key to get a brief description of all
of the key bindings? Then you can also run `describe-key' ("C-h k" by
default) and then press a key to get even more thorough documentation.

If anything is not crisp enough there, please let me know and we'll fix
it right away.

I do agree that it's important for us to discuss what the ideal set of
operations is, and I don't claim that we have anything close to that in
the current implementation.

So that's why we're here talking I think. :-)

Oh, I see. Sorry for my misunderstanding.

So that is more efficient in that regard.

But it also does mean that this operation is all set up to run into
"argument list too long" errors.

We'll probably need to arrange for notmuch to accept search
specifications on stdin or so.

"bouncing" messages

[Jameson Rollins]

Does anyone know how to "bounce" a message, in the mutt sense of the
term where the message is send unaltered to a new recipient, in
notmuch/emacs?  I can't find any way to do it with message-mode.  I
think this was very useful feature in mutt, and it would be great if we
could add a command to notmuch-show to do the same thing.  Any
suggestions?

This actually brings up a behavior that bites me from time to time. I
often mark messages "to-reply", and notmuch colors them red for
me. Then, when I reply to the message, it auto-removes the tag (based on
a message-mode hook I sent to the thread a while back*). I've gotten to
the point where I depend on this behavior.

However, when I have a long thread, and only one message in the inbox,
tagging the thread, of course, tags all the messages in it "to-reply."
Now, the way to do it might be to just change my habits, and only tag
while in show-mode, as opposed to search-mode. But this does seem to be
in conflict with the way I intuitively want to handle my mail, and I
imagine I'm not the only one.

Which is all just to say that I think that archiving is just a special
case of tagging/untagging, and that the issues raised here should be
considered across the larger general case.

[PATCH] emacs: Re-arrange message sending code

I meant to add that this was a proposal in response to Sebastian's
User-Agent related patch (id:87y6gtnkch.fsf at SSpaeth.de).

Setting `mail-user-agent' in notmuch.el is a bit aggressive, but without
requiring some configuration on the part of the user (which Carl
appeared to want to avoid) it's not obvious how to make things as
simple as the existing approach.

I actually *really* don't like that the space bar does this.  In fact, I
build my own notmuch-show-advance function in a notmuch-hacks.el that I
load to expressly get around this.  The only tag manipulation I want
done automatically is removal of "unread" when I visit a message.  Other
than that, I want to do all tag manipulation manually.  So I would be
thrilled is this "feature" was removed entirely, which would of course
get rid of this bug as well.

I've asked this in the past, but isn't this exactly what notmuch
"folders" are?  Is there a reason you don't just define this search as a
folder?

Not quite true: the region command only executes one "notmuch tag"
command over "id:X or id:Y or id:Z or ...". 

It does have to iterate over the messages to get the ids, and again to
set the tags (i.e., write them in the buffer), but that's all in the
buffer -- there's only one xapian command. 

And anything that updates the buffer in real time would have to iterate
through the messages to rewrite the tag representation, so I'm not sure
if there's that much being lost here.

That being said, there might be a bit of redundancy (one save-excursion
trip through the buffer to get the tags for completion, another to get
the ids, and one more to rewrite the parenthetical tag
representation). But I'm not quite sure how to avoid that, or how
expensive it actually is.

Best,
Jesse

I am always confused about the behavior of 'a' - does it archive the
current message? Or the current thread? Or the current thread down to
where I am? Or (as you propose) just the open messages?

I think we really need to spend some time to crsiply define the
semantics of these commands.

The archive operation should only archive open messages

[Carl Worth]

One of the searches that I use most frequently, (for mail that I want to
respond to on a fairly timely basis), is

tag:inbox and tag:to-me [*]

Sometimes, this search will show a large mailing-list thread with only a
few messages open. Perhaps part-way through the thread, someone started
to CC me. Or perhaps my address got dropped from the CC at some
point. Either way, I am presented with a subset of the messages from the
thread, even though all of the thread's messages are in my inbox still.

That much is just fine. I'm giving priority to messages where people
thought I would be particularly interested, and that's just as it should
be.

A bad bug occurs when paging through the thread with the space
bar. After showing me these few messages, it will then proceed to
archive *all* the messages in the thread (not only those it showed
me). And I'm likely to be unaware of this since the closed (but not yet
archived) messages are not easily distinguished from messages that were
previously closed and archived.

Some people will claim (and I've even agreed) that the space bar is too
magic. But this bug also happens with an explicit command to archive the
current thread (such as hitting 'a').

I think the fix is to change these commands to only archive the messages
that are currently open. That will make these operations behave as I
expect, and I don't think will cause any unexpected or confusing
behavior. But please let me know if you disagree.

Hi Michal,

I would still like to have a modular test suite, yes.

Thanks for pointing out that other message to me, which I had missed in
the general notmuch-mailing-list backlog I'm still dealing with. I've
now replied to it over there.

I am sorry that you keep having to re-do a bunch of work to keep your
patch up-to-date. I'm just about to push another change which might
further cause problems.

But you might actually like that change since it's one you requested in
your first version of the modular test suite. I'm dropping the annoying
execute_expecting macro that both runs notmuch and tests the
output. There's now a much cleaner separation such as:

output=$($NOTMUCH search for-something)
pass_if_equal "$output" "something was found"

I still think it wouldn't be hard to just gradually implement any
particular features we want in the test suite. But if the git thing ever
does become available, then that will be fine too.

Except notmuch (at least in the code I've looked at) sets the weighting scheme
to BoolWeight, so the ordering is actually just the raw docid ordering
(BoolWeight gives all matching docs a weight of 0).

When using the results of a search to add/remove tags, there's likely to be
an additional win from --sort=unsorted as documents will now be processed
in docid order which will tend to have a more cache friendly locality of
access.

Also, sorting by relevance requires more calculations and may require fetching
additional data (document length for example).

So I think it would make sense for --sort=relevance and --sort=unsorted to be
separate options.

Cheers,
Olly

Yes, that looks pretty good. But David has some improvements in mind,
this feature was implemented after the 0.2 merge window closed, *and*
I've committed to David to not keep messing with the emacs code before
merging in his outstanding changes.

So I'm going to wait on this for now at least.

Good point. I think I was imitating the "git --version" output or
something. I can't give any reason for this though. I'll fix this.

[PATCH] configure: Fix syntax error (spaces in assignment).

[Gregor Hoffleit]

Before and after the assignment operator, no spaces are allowed.
I don't know if there are any /bin/sh which allow spaces, but at least
in bash, csh and zsh, the former code was no valid assigment.

It seems you've done a careful job and I appreciate that. I don't know
any more details about what Junio was expecting. And he's really the one
you should approach at this point.

I do not plan to accept this source into our tree until the git project
itself has accepted the license change on its own. So if the above
analysis satisfies Junio, and he accepts the patch, then we can take it.

Carl,

are you still interrested in modular test suite from git? If so, could
you please look at id:87mxxg7bxo.fsf at steelpick.2x.cz and tell me your

Re: [PATCH] allow to not sort the search results

Sebastian Spaeth writes:
 On 2010-04-14, Jason White wrote:

  Does this provide relevance-ranked search results? I think relevance ranking
  is the Xapian default if a sort order isn't specified. 
 
 Yes, by default it is using sort_by_relevance, so unsorted implies
 just that. (in fact, a previous incarnation of this patch called it
 --sort=relevance)

Except notmuch (at least in the code I've looked at) sets the weighting scheme
to BoolWeight, so the ordering is actually just the raw docid ordering
(BoolWeight gives all matching docs a weight of 0).

 I would be happy to have it called --sort=relevance too, the unsorted
 points out potential performance improvements a bit better, IMHO
 (although they seem to be really small with a warm cache).

When using the results of a search to add/remove tags, there's likely to be
an additional win from --sort=unsorted as documents will now be processed
in docid order which will tend to have a more cache friendly locality of
access.

Also, sorting by relevance requires more calculations and may require fetching
additional data (document length for example).

So I think it would make sense for --sort=relevance and --sort=unsorted to be
separate options.

Cheers,
Olly

I meant to add that this was a proposal in response to Sebastian's
User-Agent related patch (id:87y6gtnkch@sspaeth.de).

Setting `mail-user-agent' in notmuch.el is a bit aggressive, but without
requiring some configuration on the part of the user (which Carl
appeared to want to avoid) it's not obvious how to make things as
simple as the existing approach.

Hi Michal,

I would still like to have a modular test suite, yes.

Thanks for pointing out that other message to me, which I had missed in
the general notmuch-mailing-list backlog I'm still dealing with. I've
now replied to it over there.

I am sorry that you keep having to re-do a bunch of work to keep your
patch up-to-date. I'm just about to push another change which might
further cause problems.

But you might actually like that change since it's one you requested in
your first version of the modular test suite. I'm dropping the annoying
execute_expecting macro that both runs notmuch and tests the
output. There's now a much cleaner separation such as:

output=$($NOTMUCH search for-something)
pass_if_equal $output something was found

I still think it wouldn't be hard to just gradually implement any
particular features we want in the test suite. But if the git thing ever
does become available, then that will be fine too.

 We could fix all[*] the bugs of * by changing it to simply call the

 that it might be significantly slower, (it will execute N notmuch tag

 one notmuch tag command with the same search).

Not quite true: the region command only executes one notmuch tag
command over id:X or id:Y or id:Z or  

It does have to iterate over the messages to get the ids, and again to
set the tags (i.e., write them in the buffer), but that's all in the
buffer -- there's only one xapian command. 

And anything that updates the buffer in real time would have to iterate
through the messages to rewrite the tag representation, so I'm not sure
if there's that much being lost here.

That being said, there might be a bit of redundancy (one save-excursion
trip through the buffer to get the tags for completion, another to get
the ids, and one more to rewrite the parenthetical tag
representation). But I'm not quite sure how to avoid that, or how
expensive it actually is.

The archive operation should only archive open messages

[Carl Worth]

One of the searches that I use most frequently, (for mail that I want to
respond to on a fairly timely basis), is

tag:inbox and tag:to-me [*]

Sometimes, this search will show a large mailing-list thread with only a
few messages open. Perhaps part-way through the thread, someone started
to CC me. Or perhaps my address got dropped from the CC at some
point. Either way, I am presented with a subset of the messages from the
thread, even though all of the thread's messages are in my inbox still.

That much is just fine. I'm giving priority to messages where people
thought I would be particularly interested, and that's just as it should
be.

A bad bug occurs when paging through the thread with the space
bar. After showing me these few messages, it will then proceed to
archive *all* the messages in the thread (not only those it showed
me). And I'm likely to be unaware of this since the closed (but not yet
archived) messages are not easily distinguished from messages that were
previously closed and archived.

Some people will claim (and I've even agreed) that the space bar is too
magic. But this bug also happens with an explicit command to archive the
current thread (such as hitting 'a').

I think the fix is to change these commands to only archive the messages
that are currently open. That will make these operations behave as I
expect, and I don't think will cause any unexpected or confusing
behavior. But please let me know if you disagree.

term where the message is send unaltered to a new recipient, in
notmuch/emacs?  I can't find any way to do it with message-mode.  I

Thanks, Gregor.

I went through all the work to try to make the over-linking conditional,
and then only tested carefully on OS X, (not noticing that I'd broken
