Hello,
I sometimes have to find a message knowing only its message id. I know
how to use a notmuch search in emacs to find the message, then use
another function to display it in gnus, but I would like to do it
directly without going through the *notmuch-search* buffer.
Right now I'm doing the following:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun as/msgid-to-gnus (msgid)
Search for the MSGID using notmuch, then open the message with
gnus.
(let ((file (shell-command-to-string (concat notmuch search
--output=files 'id: msgid '
The structured output formats (sexp, json) include file names, so you
should be able to use something like the following
(defun notmuch-query-get-message-filenames (rest search-terms)
Return a list of message-ids of messages that match SEARCH-TERMS
(notmuch-query-map-threads
(lambda (msg) (plist-get msg :filename))
(notmuch-query-get-threads search-terms)))
This is based on the example at the bottom of notmuch-query.el
Thanks a lot, this put me on the right track. I had to slightly modify
your example as it returns every message in the thread (and not just
the matching one). So I first test for id, and the filter the list to
return only the matching message. Here is the code I wrote.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun notmuch-query-get-message-filenames (msgid)
Return the message filename where the message id matches MSGID
and `nil' if no such message is found
(car (remove nil
(notmuch-query-map-threads
(lambda (msg) (if (equal (plist-get msg :id) msgid)
(plist-get msg :filename)
nil))
(notmuch-query-get-threads (list (concat id: msgid)))
#+end_src
Thanks again,
Alan
