It might be enough to have the `notmuch-user-agent' in its own file, providing it as a separate feature? That way, the `notmuch-user-agent' can be required without loading all of notmuch and then autoloads could load the rest of notmuch when needed? Didn't test that, just a thought. Maybe this doesn't work because of the way the user-agent is used. I will maybe play around with it when I find some time. -- Christoph ___ notmuch mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]

The "emacs tips" you refer to is a wiki [1], so feel free to update it. Customising mail-user-agent is discussed in the "official" manual [2]You may also have an info version of the same manual, depending on how you installed notmuch. > > Since `compose-mail' is defined in simple.el, I didn't find a nice way > to load notmuch lazy using use-package.

I agree that notmuch could be better about autoloading things, but since I always load notmuch and rarely restart emacs, it hasn't been a priority for me personally.

Emacs front end mail-user-agent documentation and loading
Hi, while configuring the notmuch Emacs front end, I was having trouble getting `notmuch-fcc-dirs' to work as expected. I figured out that my issue was, that I was composing mails using `compose-mail' instead of `notmuch-mua-mail'. Since notmuch-mua.el provides a mail-user-agent, configuring message to use the notmuch mail user agent wasn't that difficult, but it would be nice if that would be stated in emacs-tips of the notmuch documentation. Maybe you can add a section to it, so others don't fall into that trap? I wasn't using Emacs as a mail client before, so I didn't have much experience in configuring a user-agent before. Since `compose-mail' is defined in simple.el, I didn't find a nice way to load notmuch lazy using use-package. I ended up writing a hook around `compose-mail' to load notmuch on demand like so: (use-package notmuch :ensure t :commands (notmuch notmuch-mua-mail notmuch-mua-send-and-exit notmuch-mua-kill-buffer notmuch-mua-send-hook) :custom (mail-user-agent 'notmuch-user-agent) :init (defun +notmuch-load-on-compose (&rest _) "Load notmuch and remove this advice from `compose-mail'." (require 'notmuch) (advice-remove 'compose-mail #'+notmuch-load-on-compose)) (advice-add 'compose-mail :before '+notmuch-load-on-compose)) Do you know if there is a nicer way of loading notmuch lazy, as soon as `compose-mail' is called? Sadly, an autoload in the `notmuch-user-agent' doesn't work. I don't want to rebind `compose-mail' to `notmuch-mua-mail' and rely on the key-bind, since other Emacs functions, like `report-emacs-bug' are calling `compose-mail' directly and I would like those to work out of the box, without the need to manually load notmuch beforehand. Looking forward into playing around with notmuch. Regards, Christoph ___ notmuch mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
