Is that actually useful/used? Maybe it would make more sense to change that order than to add another option. ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
Re: [emacs] message list view
Dear All I think this could be very useful -- indeed I currently have been running some scruffy patches implementing this for the last couple of months. What I have done is modify notmuch-show.c so that you can pass a --unthreaded option and it returns each message as if it were a thread on its own. Then notmuch-tree basically "just works" with this output. The reason I like it was I found I was sometimes missing messages when multiple messages arrived in the same thread. I haven't tried Bremner's suggestion of just not passing entire-thread; it would give a slightly odd ordering of the messages (all matching messages by thread, and in thread order) rather than just date order. My patches are against a rather outdated version of notmuch but I can probably update and post relatively easily if people would like to try it.

I think it'd be useful. I'll give you an example that always bugs me: if I look in "unread" (the standard startup screen search) and see some new message in a long thread of which I've deleted a bunch of messages, and I type 'd' to delete, it actually first undeletes (or to be precise, it toggles the already-present deleted tag on) all the already-deleted messages in the thread, then I have to hit 'd' again to delete all of them. If it were a message view instead of a thread view, I could just delete the dang message ;-) JT ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch

Not exactly in the case where a query matches only a small number of messages in a thread.
