This seems to have done the trick! Thank you so much!

This is wrong for notmuch - you need to use `notmuch-mua-send' rather

After initial tuning of emacs configuration according to the hints in
the scratch buffer, people might want to automate things. For example
something like:

devel/try-emacs-mua -q -f notmuch-hello

This does not work as one would expect, because the notmuch-hello buffer
is buried under the *scratch* buffer. To get the hello screen after the
start one has to run:

devel/try-emacs-mua -q -f notmuch-hello --eval '(setq initial-buffer-choice 
nil)'

This could be also documented in the scratch buffer. Or it might be
easier, in this case, to run emacs without this script at all. There
will be no logging, but this might be OK for some people.

Actually I don't know who are you writing this script for? For notmuch
developers or for users who want to debug or test development version?

This is already possible. If a test fails, its working directory is not
deleted and you can run e.g. ./test/tmp.T310-emacs/run_emacs, where you
can interactively reproduce the test. What you miss compared to Tomi's
approach is the hint screen and extra logging.

[PATCH v5] devel/emacs: add devel/try-emacs-mua

[Tomi Ollila]

devel/try-emacs-mua provides an easy way to try and experiment
with the notmuch emacs client distributed in emacs subdirectory of
the notmuch source tree.

try-emacs-mua starts a new emacs process and if initial checks pass
*scratch* buffer is filled with information of how to begin.

Normal emacs command line arguments can be used, like -q or -Q.
These arguments are appended verbatim to the starting emacs process.

If the emacs version in use is smaller than 24.4, special care is taken
to ensure that notmuch*.elc files older than corresponding .el files
are not loaded. Since emacs 24.4, setting `load-prefer-newer' variable
takes care of this.

Thanks to Michal for review of v4
id:1450610032-23776-1-git-send-email-tomi.oll...@iki.fi
in id:87vb7aco77@steelpick.2x.cz

This should address the issues:

1) no more command line filtering
2) dropped (outcommented) file-truename advising
3) added information which notmuch binary is used
4) dropped popping messages buffer (fixing 2 issues)

Added:
* code to load ~/.emacs.d/notmuch-config.el if exists and not loaded already
* pop messages buffer if (require 'notmuch) fails
* don't suggest package-initialize if emacs version is 23

Two Questions

[MaDhAt2r]

Hello All!

I have been using notmuch/emacs for about two years now. I of course
love the setup, but there have always been two main issues I have yet to
find a solution for. I am hoping someone on here has found some answers.

1. How to change the time/date to use 12h format in all displays.

2. How to handle mailto:// hyperlinks and force the use of emacs/notmuch

I am running on ArchLinux (4.1.15-1-lts kenel), Emacs 24.5.1, notmuch 0.21

Thanks for your help!

This probably requires some coding...

You can try

https://github.com/domo141/nottoomuch/blob/master/nottoomuch-emacs-mailto.rst

(hmm, I wonder what happens if the link is mailto:// and not just mailto:)

I missed this the first time, but I a bit worried about this used of
nconc. It seems to fall under "A common pitfall is to use a quoted
constant list as a non-last argument to ‘nconc’"  (from the elisp
manual).  In any case it's not really performance critical code (I
guess?) so maybe we could just use append?

The other use of nconc is more understandable to me.
