Re: notmuch search / result:messages instead of threads
Well, I thought i got the solution, but in the end I am still at the same problem: I can't search for messages, only for threads. I want to show a list of matching messages with the common header data (subject, date, etc.). When I use notmuch serach ... I only get the ids of the messages and the header data of the thread only. So not the headerdata per message (just per thread). I could then use the ids and fire a request per id to get the headerdata only using 'body=false'. But this means many, many more requests (depending on the matches in the threads). When I try to search for messages using notmuch show with 'body=false' directly, this doesn't work because i use --limit=X to fill the list iteratively. 'limit=X' isn't supported in notmuch show. So no real solution to provide a list of messages with headerdata by a searchkey? -- Sent from: http://notmuch.198994.n3.nabble.com/ ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
Re: notmuch search / result:messages instead of threads
Ok, I think I got it! So the "match=true" is what the "entire-thread=false" is reduced to, right? Really great!! (Once you've understood it :D ) Thanks a lot for "notmuch" :) In a few weeks... (or maybe months, or ... ) the world will have yet another email client... :) Fast and save... with a "grandpa-mode"! :D Thanks! -- Sent from: http://notmuch.198994.n3.nabble.com/ ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch

So this isn't an option. It's not supposed to work like that. I just verified and it showed me 3 messages from the same thread matching some terms.

Typically a front-end will somehow highlight the messages in a thread actually matching the terms. So in notmuch emacs, only the matched messages in the thread are displayed as open. If you want to do something similar, that information is present as the "match" key in the json / s-expr output. ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
Re: notmuch search / result:messages instead of threads
so the question is: How can I get/show the messages matching a searchterm, if (let's say) half of the messages in a thread contain the searchterm. Example: Thread1 - message1 (contains searchterm) - message2 (does not contain searchterm) - message3 (contains searchterm) - message4 (does not contain searchterm) - message5 (contains searchterm) - message6 (does not contain searchterm) So in this example, I probably want to show message1, message3 and message5. All of them are in the same thread, Thread1. -- Sent from: http://notmuch.198994.n3.nabble.com/ ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
Re: notmuch search / result:messages instead of threads
Hi, thanks for answering. Ok, so maybe I misunderstood how to use notmuch mail. Here's my usecase: search for "maria" gives me 100 threads (yes I sometimes write to my sister ;) ) Each of these threads contain let's say 1 - 20 messages. If i use "show --entire-thread=false", I only get the NEWEST Message from a Thread matching the word "maria", even if ALL of the messages in the threads contain "maria". So I can't see the message I am searching for, if it isn't the newest message in a thread. So this isn't an option. Using "show --entire-thread=true" gives me all the messages, grouped into threads, but no advice where (in the whole thread) i can find the info I was searching for. So I have to search the whole conversation (let's say up to 10 or 20 messages) to find what I was looking for. Is that correct or am I missing something? -- Sent from: http://notmuch.198994.n3.nabble.com/ ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
