* notmuch search: Change default search order to be newest messages first.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is what most people want for a _search_ command. It's often different for actually reading mail in an inbox, (where it makes more sense to have results displayed in chronological order), but in such a case, ther user is likely using an interface that can simply pass the --sort=oldest-first option to "notmuch search". Here we're also change the sort enum from NOTMUCH_SORT_DATE and NOTMUCH_SORT_DATE_REVERSE to NOTMUCH_SORT_OLDEST_FIRST and NOTMUCH_SORT_NEWEST_FIRST. Similarly we replace the --reverse option to "notmuch search" with two options: --sort=oldest-first and --sort=newest-first. Finally, these changes are all tracked in the emacs interface, (which has no change in its behavior).
* Fix "too many open files" bug by closing message files when done with them.Gravatar Keith Packard2009-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The message file header parsing code parses only enough of the file to find the desired header fields, then it leaves the file open until the next header parsing call or when the message is no longer in use. If a large number of messages end up being active, this will quickly run out of file descriptors. Here, we add support to explicitly close the message file within a message, (_notmuch_message_close) and call that from thread construction code. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com> Edited-by: Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org>: Many portions of Keith's original patch have since been solved other ways, (such as the code that changed the handling of the In-Reply-To header). So the final version is clean enough that I think even Keith would be happy to have his name on it.
* get_in_reply_to: Implement via the database, not by opening mail file.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-17
| | | | | | | This reduces our reliance on open message_file objects, (so is a step toward fixing the "too many open files" bug), but more importantly, it means we don't load a self-referencing in-reply-to header, (since we weed those out before adding any replyto terms to the database).
* notmuch show: Implement proper thread ordering/nesting of messages.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-15
| | | | | | | | We now properly analyze the in-reply-to headers to create a proper tree representing the actual thread and present the messages in this correct thread order. Also, there's a new "depth:" value added to the "message{" header so that clients can format the thread as desired, (such as by indenting replies).
* _thread_add_messages: Remove unused variable.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-15
| | | | | I'm not sure how I let this warning go by unfixed for a while. Fix it now.
* notmuch search: Fix thread dates to come only from matched messages.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-12
| | | | | | We were properly sorting the threads based only on matched messages, but we were displaying the date based on the total messages in the thread, which led to inconsistent and very confusing results.
* notmuch search: Add support for a --reverse option to reverse sort order.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Note that the difference between thread results in date order and thread results in reverse-date order is not simply a matter of reversing the final results. When sorting in date order, the threads are sorted by the oldest message in the thread. When sorting in reverse-date order, the threads are sorted by the newest message in the thread. This difference means that we might want an explicit option in the interface to reverse the order, (even though the default will be to display the inbox in date order and global searches in reverse-date order).
* notmuch search: Print the number of matched/total messages for each thread.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Note that we don't print the number of *unread* messages, but instead the number of messages that matched the search terms. This is in keeping with our philosophy that the inbox is nothing more than a search view. If we search for messages with an inbox tag, then that's what we'll get a count of. (And if somebody does want to see unread counts, then they can search for the "unread" tag.) Getting the number of matched messages is really nice when doing historical searches. For example in a search like: notmuch search tag:sent (where the "sent" tag has been applied to all messages originating from the user's email address)---here it's really nice to be able to see a thread where the user just mentioned one point [1/13] vs. really getting involved in the discussion [10/29].
* notmuch search: Avoid printing duplicate author names.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-12
| | | | | | | | We add a hash to the thread object so that we can detect author names that have already been added to the list, and avoid adding them redundantly. This avoids the giant chain of "bugzilla-daemon, bugzilla-daemon, bugzilla-daemon, bugzilla-daemon, ..." author lists that we would get otherwise, for example.
* notmuch search: Print all authors contributing to a thread.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-12
| | | | | | | | We've now expanded the notmuch_thread_create function to fire off a secondary database query to find all the messages that belong to this particular thread. This allows us to now have the complete authors' list for the thread, and will also make it trivial to print accurate message counts for threads in the future.
* notmuch search: Print the names of author of matched emails.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-12
| | | | | | | It's important to have the names present for determining whether a thread is worth reading or not. We may want to think about abbreviating the list somehow if it is excessively long (or redundant as in bugzilla-daemon, bugzilla-daemon, bugzilla-daemon, etc.).
* 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.
