* lib: Index name and address of from/to headers as a phraseGravatar Austin Clements2014-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, we indexed the name and address parts of from/to headers with two calls to _notmuch_message_gen_terms. In general, this indicates that these parts are separate phrases. However, because of an implementation quirk, the two calls to _notmuch_message_gen_terms generated adjacent term positions for the prefixed terms, which happens to be the right thing to do in this case, but the wrong thing to do for all other calls. Furthermore, _notmuch_message_gen_terms produced potentially overlapping term positions for the un-prefixed copies of the terms, which is simply wrong. This change indexes both the name and address in a single call to _notmuch_message_gen_terms, indicating that they should be part of a single phrase. This masks the problem with the un-prefixed terms (fixing the two known-broken tests) and puts us in a position to fix the unintentionally phrases generated by other calls to _notmuch_message_gen_terms.
* lib: replace the header parser with gmimeGravatar Jani Nikula2014-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The notmuch library includes a full blown message header parser. Yet the same message headers are parsed by gmime during indexing. Switch to gmime parsing completely. These are the main changes: * Gmime stops header parsing at the first invalid header, and presumes the message body starts from there. The current parser is quite liberal in accepting broken headers. The change means we will be much pickier about accepting invalid messages. * The current parser converts tabs used in header folding to spaces. Gmime preserve the tabs. Due to a broken python library used in mailman, there are plenty of mailing lists that produce headers with tabs in header folding, and we'll see plenty of tabs. (This change has been mitigated in preparatory patches.) * For pure header parsing, the current parser is likely faster than gmime, which parses the whole message rather than just the headers. Since we parse the message and its headers using gmime for indexing anyway, this avoids and extra header parsing round when adding new messages. In case of duplicate messages, we'll end up parsing the full message although just headers would be sufficient. All in all this should still speed up 'notmuch new'. * Calls to notmuch_message_get_header() may be slightly slower than previously for headers that are not indexed in the database, due to parsing of the whole message. Within the notmuch code base, notmuch reply is the only such user.
* lib: drop support for single-message mbox filesGravatar Jani Nikula2014-04-05
| | | | | | | We've supported mbox files containing a single message for historical reasons, but the support has been deprecated, with a warning message while indexing, since Notmuch 0.15. Finally drop the support, and consider all mbox files non-email.
* lib/cli: pass GMIME_ENABLE_RFC2047_WORKAROUNDS to g_mime_init()Gravatar Jani Nikula2013-09-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | As explained by Jeffrey Stedfast, the author of GMime, quoted in [1]: > Passing the GMIME_ENABLE_RFC2047_WORKAROUNDS flag to g_mime_init() > *should* solve the decoding problem mentioned in the thread. This > flag should be safe to pass into g_mime_init() without any bad side > effects and my unit tests do test that code-path. The thread being referred to is [2].

* _notmuch_message_index_file: unref (free) address lists from gmime.Gravatar David Bremner2012-12-24
| | | | | | | | | Apparently as of GMime 2.4, you don't need to call internet_address_list_destroy anymore, but you still need to call g_object_unref (from the GMime Changelog). On the medium performance corpus, valgrind shows "possibly lost" leakage in "notmuch new" dropping from 7M to 300k.
* lib: Reject multi-message mboxes and deprecate single-message mboxGravatar Austin Clements2012-11-26
| | | | | | | | Previously, we would treat multi-message mboxes as one giant email, which, besides the obvious incorrect indexing, often led to out-of-memory errors for archival mboxes. Now we explicitly reject multi-message mboxes. For historical reasons, we retain support for single-message mboxes, but official deprecate this behavior.
* Convert non-UTF-8 parts to UTF-8 before indexing themGravatar Michal Sojka2012-02-29
| | | | | | | This fixes a bug that didn't allow to search for non-ASCII words such parts. The code here was copied from show_text_part_content(), because the show command already does the needed conversion when showing the message.
* Ignore encrypted parts when indexing.Gravatar Jameson Graef Rollins2011-12-29
| | | | | | | | It appears to be an oversight that encrypted parts were indexed previously. The terms generated from encrypted parts are meaningless and do nothing but add bloat to the database. It is not worth indexing the encrypted content, just as it's not worth indexing the signatures in signed parts.
* tag signed/encrypted during notmuch newGravatar Jameson Graef Rollins2011-05-27
| | | | | | | | This patch adds the tag "signed" to messages with any multipart/signed parts, and the tag "encrypted" to messages with any multipart/encrypted parts. This only occurs when messages are indexed during notmuch new, so a database rebuild is required to have old messages tagged.
* Fix to index the "Re" term present in any subject.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | This was a misfeature where notmuch had extra code that just threw away legitimate information. It was never indexing an initial "Re" term in a subject. But some users have legitimately wanted to search for this term. The original code was written this way merely for strict compatiblity with the indexing performed by sup, but we're not taking advantage of that now anyway.
* lib: Add some missing static qualifiers.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-11-01
| | | | | | These various functions and data are all used only locally, so should be marked static. Ensuring we get these right will avoid us accidentally leaking unintended symbols through the library interface.
* Do not segfault on empty mime partsGravatar martin f. krafft2010-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | notmuch previously unconditionally checked mime parts for various properties, but not for NULL, which is the case if libgmime encounters an empty mime part. Upon encounter of an empty mime part, the following is printed to stderr (the second line due to my patch): (process:17197): gmime-CRITICAL **: g_mime_message_get_mime_part: assertion `GMIME_IS_MESSAGE (message)' failed Warning: Not indexing empty mime part. This is probably a bug that should get addressed in libgmime, but for not, my patch is an acceptable workaround. Signed-off-by: martin f. krafft <madduck@madduck.net>
* Eliminate some useless gobject boilerplate.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-02-04
| | | | | | If we had external users of this filter then they might expect some of these macros to exist. But since this is just internal, that's just unneeded noise.
* notmuch new: Don't index uuencoded data.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-02-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | With modern MIME attachments, we're already avoiding indexing the attachments. But for old-school uuencoded data in the mail, we have been directly indexing the encoded data as terms, (which is not useful at all---nobody will ever ytry to search based on the seemingly random uuencoded data). Additionally, indexing a modestly large uuencoded file seems to make Xapian go insane, (consuming *lots* of memory). We fix both problems by detecting uuencoded content and not performing any indexing of it.
* Index content from citations and signatures.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-01-06
| | | | | | | | In the presentation we often omit citations and signatures, but this is not content that should be omitted from the index, (especially when the citation detection is wrong---see cases where a line beginning with "From" is corrupted to ">From" by mail processing tools).
* database: Store mail filename as a new 'direntry' term, not as 'data'.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | Instead of storing the complete message filename in the data portion of a mail document we now store a 'direntry' term that contains the document ID of a directory document and also the basename of the message filename within that directory. This will allow us to easily store multple filenames for a single message, and will also allow us to find mail documents for files that previously existed in a directory but that have since been deleted.
* lib/index: Fix memory leak for email addresses without names.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-12-01
| | | | | | | | We carefully noted the fact that we had locally allocated the string here, but then we neglected to free it. Switch to talloc instead which makes it easier to get the behavior we want. It's simpler since we can just call talloc_free unconditionally, without having to track the state of whether we allocated the storage for name or not.

* Don't create "contact" terms in the database.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | We never did export any interface to get at these, and when I went to use these, I found them inadequate, (because I wanted to distinguish address found in from: from those found in To:). Meanwhile, it was easy enough to extract addresses with a search like: notmuch show tag:sent | grep ^To: so the storage of contact terms was just wasting space. Stop that.
* libify: Move library sources down into lib directory.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-09
A "make" invocation still works from the top-level, but not from down inside the lib directory yet.
