Perhaps some elisp guru can tell us. It seems like the easiest thing would be to have notmuch just prompt the user for what they would like to do with the attachment. I think something like firefox/iceweasel does where it prompts you if you want to save the document, or open it with some program, where you can specify which program to use. jamie. -- next part -- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, I do not know the details of attachment handling, but it seems to me that what happens with the attachment depends on the sender. If the .doc document is attached as application/octet-stream, then it is saved to disk. If it is attached as application/msword, then it is open in openoffice (in my case). It would be nice if a user could override this, but I do not know how to do it. Perhaps some elisp guru can tell us. Bye -Michal

Hi Ethan, unfortunately, there is not much news. I only separate from these patches the part which synchronizes notmuch tags with maildir flags (unread, replied, etc.) [1]. It works pretty well and I use it to synchronize my mails with IMAP server. I think that these pathes are ready to be merged. What regards using git to store mails and synchronize tags, I still have plans to work in this area, but currently I have more important work to do. However, for me is the lack of synchronization quite painfull, so this will definitely be the next work I'll do on notmuch. -Michal Footnotes: [1] http://mid.gmane.org/1273580061-22580-1-git-send-email-sojkam1 at fel.cvut.cz
