+
+ Here's an example of how to add a key binding to notmuch-show-mode
+ to toggle a "deleted" tag:
+
+ (define-key notmuch-show-mode-map "d"
+ (lambda ()
+ "toggle deleted tag for message"
+ (interactive)
+ (if (member "deleted" (notmuch-show-get-tags))
+ (notmuch-show-remove-tag "deleted")
+ (notmuch-show-add-tag "deleted"))))
+
+ You can do the same for threads in notmuch-search-mode by just
+ replacing "show" with "search" in the called functions. This
+ definition makes use of a lambda function, but you could just as
+ easily defined a separate function first:
+
+ (defun notmuch-show-toggle-deleted-tag()
+ "toggle deleted tag for message"
+ (interactive)
+ (if (member "deleted" (notmuch-show-get-tags))
+ (notmuch-show-remove-tag "deleted")
+ (notmuch-show-add-tag "deleted")))
+ (define-key notmuch-show-mode-map "d" 'notmuch-show-toggle-deleted-tag)

Any notmuch reply will automatically include your primary email
up in your mail store as well. But this doesn't do anything for
messages that you compose that are not replies.
- Another method is described in [this
- mail](http://mid.gmane.org/878wbj4nfq.fsf@servo.finestructure.net)
- (id:878wbj4nfq.fsf@servo.finestructure.net). It involves a trivial
- python script (which should be rewritten in lisp and integrated into
- the notmuch frontend, really) but is not difficult to setup. It will
- deliver your sent mail directly to the "sent" folder of you local
- maildir repository (and thus be synchronized via offlineimap with
- your imap server).
-
- This is the code I needed in my .emacs file to make it work with
- the python wrapper that I called mddeliver.py:
-
- ;; fcc handler
- (defun maildir-deliver-region(destdir)
- (shell-command-on-region
- (point-min) (point-max)
- (concat "/usr/local/bin/mddeliver.py -c -s -d " destdir)))
- (setq message-fcc-handler-function 'maildir-deliver-region)
- (defun my-message-header-setup ()
- (message-add-header "Fcc: ~/mail/INBOX.Sent"))
- (add-hook 'message-send-hook 'my-message-header-setup)
+ Another method is to save the file in a folder of your local
+ Maildir, usually called FCC (file carbon copy). You can achieve this
+ by setting the variables `message-directory` (which defines a base
+ directory) and `notmuch-fcc-dirs` which defines the subdirectory
+ relative to message-directory in which to save the mail. Enter a
+ directory (without the maildir /cur ending which will be appended
+ automatically). To customize both variables at the same time, use
+ the fancy command:
+
+ M-x customize-apropos<RET>\(notmuch-fcc-dirs\)\|\(message-directory\)
+
+ This method will even allow you to select different outboxes
+ depending on your selected from address, if you need that
+ functionality. Please see the documentation on the variable in the
+ customization window for how to do so.

- Sometimes it is good to let the world know which email client you use, so others know which quirks to expect. And it is no shame to let others know that you are way ahead of mail2.0. Notmuch is mail3.0 (at least)!

- [This mail](http://mid.gmane.org/87y6gtnkch.fsf@SSpaeth.de) (id:87y6gtnkch.fsf@SSpaeth.de) posted the below code, that -when inserted in your .emacs file- will add a User-Agent header (which is hidden during composing and in notmuch show, but which can be seen when viewing all headers of a mail). The header will looke like this:
- `User-Agent: notmuch version 0.1-92-g3893a9a (Emacs 23.1.1/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)`
-
-
- ;; set the User-Agent string whenever we invoke message mode
- (add-hook 'message-mode-hook '(lambda()
- ;; check if User-Agent is a required header and set it if not
- (if (not (memq 'User-Agent message-required-mail-headers))
- (setq message-required-mail-headers
- (append message-required-mail-headers '(User-Agent))))
- ;; hide the User-Agent header if not already hidden
- (if (not (memq '"^User-Agent:" message-hidden-headers))
- (setq message-hidden-headers
- (append message-hidden-headers '("^User-Agent:"))))
- ;; create user agent string
- (let ((notmuch-user-agent (concat
- (substring (shell-command-to-string (concat notmuch-command " --version")) 0 -1)
- " (Emacs " emacs-version "/"
- system-configuration ")")))
- (setq message-newsreader notmuch-user-agent))
- ))

This inserts the blurb `<#part sign=pgpmime>` into the beginning of
my mail text body and will be converted into a pgp signature when
sending (so I can just manually delete that line if I do not want a
- mail to be signed).
\ No newline at end of file
+ mail to be signed).
