I need to dig into notmuch-mua a little bit deeper but at the first
glance it doesn't seem that what I want is impossible. What I want is:

- keep notmuch working as it is for everyone who uses it now,

- enable clean integration with other MUAs for those who don't use it
  yet.

The second point is very important for me because I use Gnus for
incoming mail but notmuch is definitely better for browsing archives
and I'd love to use it.

And that should be kept as default. I, on the other hand have tested,
replying from notmuch with Gnus (which is also works on top of message)
and as far as I can tell it works fine. I don't say notmuch has to work
with all possible user agents, I just want it to be able to work with
more than one.

I will keep investigating the issue.

BTW There is also the `read-mail-command` variable in simple.el which
which might need some of our attention.

Basically notmuch layers its own stuff on top of message mode.

Except `message-user-agent` gets used instead of `notmuch-user-agent`
which does the layering on top. We currently don't do much more, but
might in the future. As an example, `notmuch-mua-send-hook` won't get
called.

Another question open to debate is, if the user is using the notmuch
interface, and calls a function named `notmuch-mua-new-mail` to compose
mail, should the function respect `mail-user-agent` and pop up a
non-notmuch interface? Basically what we do is tested to work on top of
message mode only, so all bets would be off anyway.

Actually `message-mail` isn't a "notmuch mail composition window" but
rather a "mail composition window" implemented in message.el which is a
part of Emacs.  Even more, it is the default "mail composition window"
in Emacs because the default value of `mail-user-agent`, as defined in
simple.el, is `message-user-agent` (since Emacs 23.3 as described in a
comment in `compose-mail` function therein) which causes to be launched by
`compose-mail`.

TL;DR with the mail-user-agent variable set to the default value nothing
  changes for a notmuch user.

It wasn't my intention. I wasn't even sure I should add to NEWS anything
at all but the "Contributing" page says to update NEWS if a change is
user visible. Considering what I wrote above, do you think it is visible?

Except `message-user-agent` gets used instead of `notmuch-user-agent`
which does the layering on top. We currently don't do much more, but
might in the future. As an example, `notmuch-mua-send-hook` won't get
called.

Another question open to debate is, if the user is using the notmuch
interface, and calls a function named `notmuch-mua-new-mail` to compose
mail, should the function respect `mail-user-agent` and pop up a
non-notmuch interface? Basically what we do is tested to work on top of
message mode only, so all bets would be off anyway.

Jani.

So your proposed change is that `notmuch-mua-mail` should start
whichever mua the user has configured in `mail-user-agent` instead of
the notmuch mail composition window, as described in the function
documentation? I don't think I like that either.

Maybe we should let bind `mail-user-agent` instead?

I understand you're annoyed at the current behaviour, but please don't
pour that annoyance into notmuch NEWS. Thank you.

Actually `message-mail` isn't a "notmuch mail composition window" but
rather a "mail composition window" implemented in message.el which is a
part of Emacs.  Even more, it is the default "mail composition window"
in Emacs because the default value of `mail-user-agent`, as defined in
simple.el, is `message-user-agent` (since Emacs 23.3 as described in a
comment in `compose-mail` function therein) which causes to be launched by
`compose-mail`.

TL;DR with the mail-user-agent variable set to the default value nothing
  changes for a notmuch user.

It wasn't my intention. I wasn't even sure I should add to NEWS anything
at all but the "Contributing" page says to update NEWS if a change is
user visible. Considering what I wrote above, do you think it is visible?

Point taken.

So your proposed change is that `notmuch-mua-mail` should start
whichever mua the user has configured in `mail-user-agent` instead of
the notmuch mail composition window, as described in the function
documentation? I don't think I like that either.

Maybe we should let bind `mail-user-agent` instead?

I understand you're annoyed at the current behaviour, but please don't
pour that annoyance into notmuch NEWS. Thank you.

BR,

[PATCH] emacs: do not change users' mail agent configuration

2014-12-13 Thread Łukasz Stelmach 
`mail-user-agent' is defined with defcustom and may be customised
by users. It should not be set to arbitrary values in modules.

To make use of that configuration value call `compose-mail' which
starts user's preferred mail composition package as selected with
the variable `mail-user-agent' instead of notmuch's hardcoded
`message-mail'.
