It's not GNOME specific (I use KDE), but given that a desktop file is used, I wonder if the nature of this bug is more of an XDG thing. For the purposes of this bug I'll attempt to reproduce using my laptop rather than desktop. > I guess my first question is if you can duplicate the problem from the > command line.

The following mailto link is copied from the BTS via eww-view-source, it points to your most recent email, which is the the one that this email--my reply--is replying to: xdg-open "mailto:1042...@bugs.debian.org?References=%3C169101992716.3310278.2992723615742697826.reportbug%40bras-base-mtrlpq0313w-grc-19-69-156-163-190.dsl.bell.ca%3E%0A%20%3C87fs517z32.fsf%40tethera.net%3E%20%3C87tttguclr.fsf%40digitalMercury.freeddns.org%3E%0A%20%3C87bkfo8mpa.fsf%40tethera.net%3Ebody=On%20Thu%2C%2003%20Aug%202023%2007%3A06%3A09%20-0300%20David%20Bremner%20%3Cdavid%40tethera.net%3E%20wrote%3A%0A%3E%20Nicholas%20D%20Steeves%20%3Csten%40debian.org%3E%20writes%3A%0A%3E%20%0A%3E%20%3E%201.%20Set%20Notmuch%20as%20the%20default%20application%20for%20email%20%28or%20URI%20handler%29%0A%3E%20%3E%202.%20Navigate%20to%20the%20BTS%20in%20a%20web%20browser%20like%20Firefox%0A%3E%20%3E%203.%20Find%20a%20bug%2C%20and%20click%20on%20one%20of%20the%20reply%20links%0A%3E%20%3E%204.%20Emacs%20opens%20in%20message-mode%20rather%20than%20notmuch-message-mode%0A%3E%20%0A%3E%20OK%2C%20this%20seems%20like%20a%20completely%20different%20bug%20report%20%3A%29.%0A%3E%20%0A%3E%20Unfortunately%20also%20not%20really%20one%20I%20know%20much%20about%2C%20as%20I%20don%27t%20use%0A%3E%20Gnome%20%28I%20assume%20step%201%20above%20means%20set%20default%20in%20gnome%3F%29.%0A%3E%20%0A%3E%20I%20guess%20my%20first%20question%20is%20if%20you%20can%20duplicate%20the%20problem%20from%20the%0A%3E%20command%20line.%20I%20tried%0A%3E%20%0A%3E%20%25%20notmuch-emacs-mua%20--hello%20mailto%3Abremner%40debian.org%0A%3E%20%0A%3E%20It%20seems%20to%20do%20the%20right%20thing.%20%0A%3E%20%0A%3E%20Maybe%20your%20mailto%20URLs%20are%20more%20complicated%3F%20Anyway%2C%20if%20you%20can%0A%3E%20duplicate%20the%20problem%20without%20requiring%20gnome%20or%20firefox%2C%20that%20would%20be%0A%3E%20helpful.%0A%3E%20%0A%3E%20%0A%3E%20d%0A%3E%20%0A%3E%20%0Asubject=Re%3A%20Bug%231042928%3A%20Please%20include%20example%20handler%20for%20mailto%3A%20URIsIn-Reply-To=%3C87bkfo8mpa.fsf%40tethera.net%3E; ...and that succeeds. Finally, it works properly in Firefox on my laptop...oh no, this is starting to look like a Heisenbug. I'm baffled why notmuch-message-mode opens correctly on my laptop, while my desktop opens message-mode. So what are the differences between the systems? My desktop had the dummy transitional package "notmuch-emacs" installed. Of course, that shouldn't make a difference one way or another, but I've removed it anyway. How can I trace Emacs, to see what data it receives as a startup argument, and to see what it does with it? I'd like to see if I can eliminate the "the desktop environment is sending a bad URI" hypothesis. Best, Nicholas signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Unfortunately also not really one I know much about, as I don't use Gnome (I assume step 1 above means set default in gnome?). I guess my first question is if you can duplicate the problem from the command line. I tried % notmuch-emacs-mua --hello mailto:brem...@debian.org It seems to do the right thing. Maybe your mailto URLs are more complicated? Anyway, if you can duplicate the problem without requiring gnome or firefox, that would be helpful. d

Meanwhile, it seems like this wasn't a dumb mistake of mine. $ apt-file search notmuch | grep desktop notmuch: /usr/share/applications/notmuch-emacs-mua.desktop Given my bug report (the URI with the email body isn't opened in notmuch-message-mode), I'm not sure if the bug is in bin:notmuch, bin:elpa-notmuch, or Emacs. Steps to reproduce: 1. Set Notmuch as the default application for email (or URI handler) 2. Navigate to the BTS in a web browser like Firefox 3. Find a bug, and click on one of the reply links 4. Emacs opens in message-mode rather than notmuch-message-mode Cheers, Nicholas signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Bug#1042928: Please include example handler for mailto: URIs
Package: elpa-notmuch Version: 0.37-1 Severity: normal It would be wonderful if elpa-notmuch provided an example handler for mailto: URIs. Somewhere along the line I seem to have added a custom one; however, for some reason it opens message-mode rather than notmuch-message-mode. Consequently, messages are not correctly Fcced, and are lost rather than inserted into the correct folder. Needless to say, they're not indexed either. I'm not sure if I made a dumb mistake, or if this is nontrivial. I think the dh-examples mechanism should be used, because the user may be using emacsclient, or may be using Gnus or some other alternative to Message Mode. If this sounds uninteresting, please ping me in a few weeks, and then periodically, because this a papercut that I'm motivated to look into when I have time. Thanks again for making high volume email tolerable! Nicholas
