test/thread-replies: mangle In-Reply-To's
In a future commit, we will start trusting In-Reply-To's when they
look sane (i.e. a single message-id). Modify these tests so they will
keep passing (i.e. keep choosing References) when that happens.

to reparent all of the possible toplevel messages.

emacs: Kill the stderr buffer when an async process completes
On some platforms (e.g. macOS), it is necessary to add a real sentinel
process for the error buffer used by `notmuch-start-notmuch' rather
than a no-op sentinel.
Many of the manpages didn't treat literal text as literal text. I've
tried to normalize some of the restructured text to make it a bit more
regular.
several of the synopsis lines are still untouched by this cleanup, but
i'm not sure what the right way to represent those is in .rst,
actually.
In particular find that if i rebuild the manpages, sometimes i end up
with some of the synopsis lines showing – (U+2013 EN DASH) where they
should have -- (2 × U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS) in the generated nroff
output, though i have not tracked down the source of this error yet.

configure: check for links to/from libdir in ldconfig output
If e.g. /lib is a link to /usr/lib, then the latter may not show up in

if foo and bar have the same device and inode numbers. Since (at least
in bash, dash, ksh, and zsh) the shell dereferences symlinks before

debian: install info pages as part of elpa (emacs) package

Add fancy new feature, which makes "notmuch show" capable of actually
indexing messages that it just decrypted.
This enables a workflow where messages can come in in the background
and be indexed using "--decrypt=auto". But when showing an encrypted
message for the first time, it gets automatically indexed.
This is something of a departure for "notmuch show" -- in particular,
because it requires read/write access to the database. However, this
might be a common use case -- people get mail delivered and indexed in
the background, but only want access to their secret key to happen
when they're directly interacting with notmuch itself.
In such a scenario, they couldn't search newly-delivered, encrypted
messages, but they could search for them once they've read them.
Documentation of this new feature also uses a table form, similar to
that found in the description of index.decrypt in notmuch-config(1).
A notmuch UI that wants to facilitate this workflow while also
offering an interactive search interface might instead make use of
these additional commands while the user is at the console:
Count received encrypted messages (if > 0, there are some things we
haven't yet tried to index, and therefore can't yet search):
notmuch count tag:encrypted and \
not property:index.decryption=success and \
not property:index.decryption=failure
Reindex those messages:
notmuch reindex --try-decrypt=true tag:encrypted and \
not property:index.decryption=success and \
not property:index.decryption=failure
cli/show: reindex when we learned new session keys about a message
If the number of session keys for a given message increased after
running "notmuch show" then we just learned something new that might
let us do automatic decryption. We should reindex this message using
our newfound knowledge.
cli: write session keys to database, if asked to do so
If the decryption policy is NOTMUCH_DECRYPT_TRUE, that means we want
to stash session keys in the database. Note that there is currently
no way from the command line to set it this way, though, so it is not
yet included in the test suite.
The user can already do this manually, of course, but (a) it's nice to
have a convenience function, and (b) exposing this interface means
that someone more clever with a _notmuch_string_map_t than i am can
write a more efficient version if they like, and it will just
accelerate the users of the convenience function.
We've had _notmuch_message_database() internally for a while, and it's
useful. It turns out to be useful on the other side of the library
interface as well (i'll use it later in this series for "notmuch
show"), so we expose it publicly now.

This change allows queries of the form

both the shell script solution and the previous proposal [1], because it
does not build the whole thread structure just generate a
query. A further potential optimization is to replace the calls to
notmuch with more specialized Xapian code; in particular it's not
likely that reading all of the message metadata is a win here.
