why doesn't notmuch-search-toggle-order work in unthreaded view?

2020-12-03 Thread Wenlong Dai
I thought notmuch-search-toggle-order would be more useful in unthreaded
view than search view.
But I found that it doesn't work in unthreaded view? am I doing something
wrong? or is this by default?

Re: question: how to change file extension generated by (notmuch-show-view-part)

2020-11-23 Thread Wenlong Dai
I created ~/.mailcap and put the following line in it:
text/html; links2 -g %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"

I did not change my configuration and now I cannot reproduce the behaviour
however I try.

Thank you very much for your email.
I just tried this again but could not reproduce it either.
I guess it just happened to a very particular message in my inbox.
I was probably quite unlucky that my first try was on such a
peculiar message.
Now I couldn't remember what message I was looking at and I cannot find it
anymore.
I'll report back if I see the problem again.

question: how to change file extension generated by (notmuch-show-view-part)

2020-11-22 Thread Wenlong Dai
I've been trying to use links2 to view html part of messages.
The problem I'm encountering is that, the part would be saved as
/tmp/xxx/xxx.shtml and
passed on to links2, and it seems links2 doesn't recognise the .shtml
extension.

netsurf works well with .shtml though.

But being stubborn as I am, I would like to know if I can make notmuch
output .html file instead?
I did a bit of research on shtml, seems it's completely unnecessary in this
case? why would notmuch choose this extension anyway?

Re: Search Case Sensitivity

2020-11-18 Thread Wenlong Dai
I later realised my statement was wrong. I did not test all search terms.
I was only testing the folder: search term.

It seems folder: search is always case-sensitive and it doesn't allow wild
cards.
So if I want to find messages in a specific folder, I'll have to spell the
folder name case-sensitively,
and I'll have to either remember the full path or use regex. Is this
understanding correct?
If it is, then I would say it's a bit unexpected and odd.

Search Case Sensitivity

2020-11-18 Thread Wenlong Dai
Hi Guys,

I did a bit of Google Search and reading of notmuch man pages.
I'm surprised to find no mention of this.

Based on my usage and testing, it seems to me that all notmuch searches are
case-sensitive.
Is this true?
Is there a way to do case-insensitive search?

Thanks
Dave

Why some characters are not displayed correctly when setting mm-text-html-renderer to links

2020-11-16 Thread Wenlong Dai
I'm using gccemcs under WSL2 and trying to switch from mu4e to notmuch.
One thing I immediately like about notmuch is that it's much more faster
than mu4e.

But I also almost immediately ran into some issues. The one that bothers me
the most is,
when I hit ENTER to open a long thread from notmuch-search mode, it takes a
very long time to load.
Sometimes, this can take 30 seconds or more. My understanding is that
notmuch needs to load all the messages
(in my case, I tried threads with 20+ messages), and the default shr
renderer is not great at dealing with large amount of data.

After some research, I found that setting mm-text-html-renderer to links
would reduce the load time from 
to around 2 seconds or less. But one small issue with this is some
characters are not displayed correctly, for example the
RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK, which would be displayed as \342\200\231

A bit more research lead me to the toggle-enable-multibyte-characters
function, I found that if I invoke this function
twice interactively, the display would be fixed.

I guess my question is, how do I make notmuch-show display characters like
RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK correctly
when I use links as html renderer? And why would invoking
 toggle-enable-multibyte-characters fix the issue?
