Does the Python3StringMixIn stuff in later patches already handle this
patch -- and making this obsolete ?

IIRC some systems have like 32768 byte command line limit.
If the change did tagging in like 100-message batches then this limit is
hardly exceeded (if message-id's max 80 characters then command line is
8000+ bytes)...
Hmm -- is there a length limit for message-id. If not maybe when appending 
message id's keep counting length and tag in batches based on that lenght
value.

Hundreds of messages per tagging operation instead of one is good
improvements.

Info about notmuch database

[boyska]

Hello!
I like notmuch a lot, so I'm writing a (conceptually) similar software
about addressbook: it will scan all your emails, storing email 
addresses
in a xapian database (you can think of it as little brother database[1] 
on
steroids)
The part that I'd like to re-implement is "notmuch new": it seems that
in the xapian db there is not only informations about each mail, but
also the mtime of each directory. My impression is this being 
"chaotic",
but probably I am just missing the point.

So, here's the question: how is the db "structured"? is there any
documentation to look at?

[PATCH] NEWS: consistent 2-space indentation

[Tomi Ollila]

In NEWS file, indentation for item descriptions is generally 2 spaces
but in a few cases there were 3 or 4 (4 caused different markdown
handling) space indentations. Indentation in those lines are brought
to consistent 2-space indentation.
Note that this patch touches spacing in "historical" content --
content of released versions 0.10.2, 0.10 and 0.6 -- in NEWS file.

Python bindings for adoption

[Patrick Totzke]

Sebastian,

I'm sorry to hear of your decision to finally hand over the maintainership of 
the bindings
but of course I fully understand that you want to focus on other stuff.
Thanks for your great work! Your bindings were certainly one of the most 
important reasons for me to
switch to notmuch.

This said, I'd have to decline the offer to take over the bindings myself. 
Although it's tempting,
I don't feel confident enough to actually develop or competently review 
libnotmuch-level code
and having a lot on my plate with advancing alot I draw my line just here.
Of course this will not stop me from whining about bugs or occasionally sending 
in patches :).

I wish you good luck with all future projects and all the best for this new 
year.
Patrick

Unless this limit is quite small (<1000), I'd be inclined not to worry
about it.

No need for both sets of brackets:

`loop' has the ability to accumulate results, which would probably be
cleaner than `add-to-list'. See 'Accumulation Clauses' in the emacs cl
info.

[PATCH] emacs: Helpers for notmuch developers.

[David Edmondson]

---

I've been using this for a few days and decided to share it to get
feedback. Reviewing patches can be tedious, so I tried to make things
a little simpler.

To use this, load the file and then from `notmuch-show-mode' invoke
`notmuch-dev-show-review-patch'. It assumes that any open messages
contain patches and attempts to build a repository with the patches
applied.

General management (i.e. keeping up to date) of the repository it uses
is your responsibility, as is cleaning out old branches. You can, of
course, just delete the temporary repository after using it - the code
will re-create it next time.

If you have a slow network connection then a local copy of the main
repository can be specified by changing
`notmuch-dev-master-repository'.

Hey, Karel.  I know there are a lot of people out here that are
interested in playing with mutt-kz.  However, notmuch 0.5 is really old
and is unfortunately an API version ago.  Until we can get notmuch
working with gmime 2.6, and get a much-needed update to the Fedora
package, would you mind developing against a compiled-from-source
version of notmuch from the latest release?  I think you could get a lot
of users in short order if mutt-kz could work on systems other than
Fedora.

Hey, Tomi.  I don't see that as being a big deal.

I also suggest we move to a NEWS directory, with each release getting a
separate file named after the release.  If we also formated the NEWS
entries in proper markdown it would make it trivial to sync the NEWS to
the wiki.

No-one has spoken up in favour of this particular change (and the removal

This is what I was basically after too: provide elementary functions
that make it easy for users to do what they want. (Just in this case
nothing more is really needed.)

As a side note, GNU Global has an interesting approach of not binding
any keys, unless you have done:
(setq gtags-suggested-key-mapping t)

I tried this and enabled mml-secure-message-encrypt-pgpmime too.
I did a test with an address I have no public key for.  I was
informed of the fact and asked if I want to skip this key.  The
result was an email encrypted only to me (I suppose it's a
sensible default to include the key of the sender in the list of
key to encrypt to), so it would be unreadable for the recipient :-(

I'm no developer; your second suggestion sounds more plausible
me since notmuch is a frontend-agnostic mail system.

Actually I did not set it up.  I tested this again with emacs23
-q ...  It has something to do with EasyPG and therefore I assume
it only works on the level of file encryption if the file
associated with the buffer ends in .pgp  But that's a guess.

Thanks for your info.  Actually I'm a mutt user and I customised
mutt to opportunistically encrypt emails if I/gpg have/has public
keys for all recipients of an email.  I have no clue how to
achieve this with Emacs.

Good to hear!

First, I'll shamelessly plug in my set of scripts that do the dirty work by
using symlinked maildirs to interact with any maildir capable mail reader.
It's mainly intended to be interface from shell, calling out to mutt or any
mail reader only when necessary, so it's somewhat reverse paradigm to yours.

view @ http://webprojekty.cz/ccx/loggerhead/zmuch/files
bzr branch http://webprojekty.cz/ccx/bzr/zmuch

Sadly I had to take hiatus mid-rewrite of it, but several interesting points
came up when I was talking about it with cworth and others.

We agreed that we wanted to standardize several features currently present in
emacs UI, so we can share configuration among several implementations. Most
important of these were:

saved searches
--

This is the feature I started writing my scripts for. I wanted to refer by a
simple shorthand to complex queries. I know emacs UI has some notion of
remembered queries, but I haven't really bothered trying it out. I assume you
will want to represent these as separate mailboxes, maybe shown using the
sidebar patch, so one has quick overview what's new in which ML.

The way I do this is that command:

$ zmuch search :foss and not :notmuch

will expand to:

$ notmuch search ( to:lists.xmms.se or ( to:cairo-announce at cairographics.org
or to:cairo at cairographics.org ) or ( to:notmuch at notmuchmail.org or
to:notmuch-request at notmuchmail.org ) ) and not (
to:notmuch at notmuchmail.org or to:notmuch-request at notmuchmail.org )

Which would be bit too much to type by hand, even for so few lists.
This would be using .notmuch-config with something like this:

[zmuch_searches]
xmms2=to:lists.xmms.se
cairo=to:cairo-announce at cairographics.org or to:cairo at cairographics.org
foss=:xmms2 or :cairo or :notmuch

Subset of this issue is the question: How to display overview of such saved
queries in a sensible manner? Mutt probably can't go beyond unread/total
number of messages for each query and that's actually what I have currently
implemented. Given the config:

[interesting]
query=is:unread and not ( is:spam or is:mute )

[zmuch_show]
selected=twisted;notmuch;gentoo-cs;cajovna;system;inbox

it would show number of interesting/total messages for each of the listed
saved query. Much nicer generalisation was then discussed on IRC, where you
could use regular saved search instead of separate [interesting] entry,
allowing you to have several such queries, eg. for displaying
unread/flagged/muted/total or anything your heart desires.

way to call notmuch
---

This might be feature you'll be probably missing due to using libnotmuch
directly instead of calling out executable as emacs UI does, but I find it
really useful to be able to layer functionality unix-style. Not only you can
run remote notmuch via ssh, but also my saved search implementation does this
by expanding arguments passed to the notmuch executable and as such is usable
from any UI that has configurable executable to call instead of "notmuch".

colors
--

Again dunno how much this applies to mutt, as it has it's own coloring
paradigm, but I find it neat to be able to do something like this globally:

[tag_colors]
flagged=%F{red}
mute=%B%F{black}
spam=%F{magenta}
unread=%F{cyan}
replied=%F{yellow}
sent=%F{green}
attachment=%B

This is syntax that zsh uses for it's print/prompt formatting and is obviously
ANSI VT specific (%B is for bold/standout). GUI lovers will probably want #RGB
scheme too.


HTH bring up some good ideas and discussion.

Oops. `encrypt' is set to `t' earlier if the code decides that I want to
encrypt outgoing mail (it's not set for work purposes, in essence).

 Various people have asked for a keybinding to add a 'delete' tag. Is
 this version the right one to choose?

No-one has spoken up in favour of this particular change (and the removal
of unread seems questionable) so I plan to mark it 'obsolete'. If
anyone would like to bring it back, please post an updated version of
the patch and argue for it.

[PATCH] NEWS: consistent 2-space indentation

[Tomi Ollila]

In NEWS file, indentation for item descriptions is generally 2 spaces
but in a few cases there were 3 or 4 (4 caused different markdown
handling) space indentations. Indentation in those lines are brought
to consistent 2-space indentation.
Note that this patch touches spacing in historical content --
content of released versions 0.10.2, 0.10 and 0.6 -- in NEWS file.

[PATCH] emacs: Helpers for notmuch developers.

[David Edmondson]

---

I've been using this for a few days and decided to share it to get
feedback. Reviewing patches can be tedious, so I tried to make things
a little simpler.

To use this, load the file and then from `notmuch-show-mode' invoke
`notmuch-dev-show-review-patch'. It assumes that any open messages
contain patches and attempts to build a repository with the patches
applied.

General management (i.e. keeping up to date) of the repository it uses
is your responsibility, as is cleaning out old branches. You can, of
course, just delete the temporary repository after using it - the code
will re-create it next time.

If you have a slow network connection then a local copy of the main
repository can be specified by changing
`notmuch-dev-master-repository'.

Re: Python bindings for adoption

[Patrick Totzke]

Sebastian,

I'm sorry to hear of your decision to finally hand over the maintainership of 
the bindings
but of course I fully understand that you want to focus on other stuff.
Thanks for your great work! Your bindings were certainly one of the most 
important reasons for me to
switch to notmuch.

This said, I'd have to decline the offer to take over the bindings myself. 
Although it's tempting,
I don't feel confident enough to actually develop or competently review 
libnotmuch-level code
and having a lot on my plate with advancing alot I draw my line just here.
Of course this will not stop me from whining about bugs or occasionally sending 
in patches :).

I wish you good luck with all future projects and all the best for this new 
year.
Patrick
