* notmuch show: Properly nest MIME parts within mulipart partsGravatar Carl Worth2011-05-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, notmuch show flattened all output, losing information about the nesting of the MIME hierarchy. Now, the output is properly nested, (both in the --format=text and --format=json output), so that clients can analyze the original MIME structure. Internally, this required splitting the final closing delimiter out of the various show_part functions and putting it into a new show_part_end function instead. Also, the show_part function now accepts a new "first" argument that is set not only for the first MIME part of a message, but also for each first MIME part within a series of multipart parts. This "first" argument controls the omission of a preceding comma when printing a part (for json). Many thanks to David Edmondson <dme@dme.org> for originally identifying the lack of nesting in the json output and submitting an early implementation of this feature. Thanks as well to Jameson Graef Rollins <jrollins@finestructure.net> for carefully shepherding David's patches through a remarkably long review process, patiently explaining them, and providing a cleaned up series that led to this final implementation. Jameson also provided the new emacs code here.
* notmuch show: Include output for the enclosing multipart part of a MIME mailGravatar Carl Worth2011-05-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, the outer multipart part of any multipart/mixed, multipart/signed, etc. MIME message was silently omitted from the "notmuch show" output. This prevented any client from correctly determining to which parts a signature applies, for example. Now, we actually emit these parts as their own parts. The output is still flattened---the contained parts are not yet included "within" the multipart part---so it's still not possible to determine to which parts a signature applies, but this is one step along the path. The test suite is updated to reflect this change, (though we'll eventually want to fix the emacs interface to not display buttons for the multipart enclosure parts as there's nothing useful for the user to actually do with them).
* test: Add a test of "notmuch show" with a multipart messageGravatar Carl Worth2011-05-16
This tests "notmuch show" with both --format=text and --format=json on a message with some non-trivial MIME multipart nesting, (multiple parts within a multipart/mixed part which is within a multipart/signed part). The test captures the current behavior (where only the leaf nodes of the MIME structure are emitted as a flat list---the multipart parts are effectively ignored). We plan to soon change the json output at least to emit an actual hierarchy matching the MIME structure, (at which point we will update this test).
