-Better guessing of From: header.

 
 

-  Notmuch now tries harder to guess which configured address should be
-  used as the From: line in a "notmuch reply". It will examine the
-  Received: headers if it fails to find any configured address in To:
-  or Cc:. This allows it to often choose the correct address even when
-  replying to a message sent to a mailing list, and not directly to a
-  configured address.

-  This can be used in any command accepting a search term, such as
-  "notmuch search '*'". Note that you'll want to take care that the
-  shell doesn't expand * against the current files. And note that the
-  support for "*" is a special case. It's only meaningful as a single
-  search term and loses its special meaning when combined with any
-  other search terms.

 General bug fixes

-Fix potential data loss in "notmuch new" with SIGINT

 
 

-  One code path in "notmuch new" was not properly handling
-  SIGINT. Previously, this could lead to messages being removed from
-  the database (and their tags being lost) if the user pressed
-  Control-C while "notmuch new" was working.

-  Previously, characters outside the range of 7-bit ASCII were

 Emacs client features

 Emacs client features
 ---------------------

-Show the last few lines of citations as well as the first few lines.

 
 

-  It's often the case that the last sentence of a citation is what is
-  being replied to directly, so the last few lines are often much more
-  important. The number of lines shown at the beginning and end of any
-  citation can be configured, (notmuch-show-citation-lines-prefix and
-  notmuch-show-citation-lines-suffix).
+### Show the last few lines of citations as well as the first few lines

 
 

-The '+' and '-' commands in the search view can now add and remove
-tags by region.

-  Selective bulk tagging is now possible by selecting a region of
-  threads and then using either the '+' or '-' keybindings. Bulk
-  tagging is still available for all threads matching the current
-  search with the '*' binding.

-  name. Previously it was using the thread ID, which is a meaningless
-  number to the user.
