It has been tested with Xapian 1.3.5. + +### Limited support for S/MIME messages + +Signature verification is supported, but not decryption. S/MIME +signature creation and S/MIME encryption are supported via built-in +support in Emacs. S/MIME support is not extensively tested at this +time. + +### Bug Fixes + + Fix for threading bug involving deleting and re-adding + messages. Fix for case-sensitive content disposition headers. Fix + handling of 1 character directory names at top level. + +Command Line Interface +---------------------- + +### `notmuch show` now supports verifying S/MIME signatures + +This support relies on an appropriately configured `gpgsm`. + +Build System +------------ + +Drop dependency on "pkg-config emacs". + +Emacs Interface +--------------- + +### Notmuch replies now include all parts shown in the show view + +There are two main user visible changes. The first is that rfc822 +parts are now included in replies. + +The second change is that part headers are now included in the reply +buffer to provide visible separation of the parts. The choice of +which part headers to show is customizable via the variable +`notmuch-mua-reply-insert-header-p-function`. + +### Filtering or Limiting messages is now bound to `l` in the search view + +This binding now matches the analogous binding in show view. + +### `F` forwards all open messages in a thread + +When viewing a thread of messages, the new binding `F` can be used +to generate a new outgoing message which forwards all of the open +messages in the thread. This is analogous to the `f` binding, which +forwards only the current message. + +### Preferred content type can be determined from the message content + +More flexibility in choosing which sub-part of a +multipart/alternative part is initially shown is available by +setting `notmuch-multipart/alternative-discouraged` to a function +that returns a list of discouraged types. The function so specified +is passed the message as an argument and can examine the message +content to determine which content types should be discouraged. This +is in addition to the current capabilities (i.e. setting +`notmuch-multipart/alternative-discouraged` to a list of discouraged +types). + +### When viewing a thread ("show" mode), queries that match no messages no longer generate empty buffers + +Should an attempt be made to view the thread corresponding to a +query that matches no messages, a warning message is now displayed +and the terminal bell rung rather than displaying an empty buffer +(or, in some cases, displaying an empty buffer and throwing an +error). This also affects re-display of the current thread. + +### Handle S/MIME signatures in emacs + +The emacs interface is now capable making and verifying S/MIME +signatures. + +### `notmuch-message-address-insinuate` is now a no-op + +This reduces the amount of interference with non-notmuch uses of +message-mode. + +### Address completion improvements + +An external script is no longer needed for address completion; if +you previously configured one, customize the variable +`notmuch-address-command` to try the internal completion. If +`company-mode` is available, notmuch uses it by default for +interactive address completion. + +### Test and experiment with the emacs MUA available in source tree + +`./devel/try-emacs-mua` runs emacs and fills the window with +information how to try the MUA safely. Emacs is configured to use +the notmuch (lisp) files located in `./emacs` directory. + +Documentation +------------- + +New `notmuch-report(1)` and `notmuch-report.json(5)` man pages +describe `notmuch-report` and its JSON configuration file. You can +build these files by running `make` in the `devel/nmbug/doc` +directory. + +notmuch-report +-------------- + +Renamed from `nmbug-status`. This script generates reports based on +notmuch queries, and doesn't really have anything to do with nmbug, +except for sharing the `NMBGIT` environment variable. The new name +focuses on the script's action, instead of its historical association +with the nmbug workflow. This should make it more discoverable for +users looking for generic notmuch reporting tools. + +The default configuration file name (extracted from the `config` +branch of `NBMGIT` has changed from `status-config.json` to +`notmuch-report.json` so it is more obviously associated with the +report-generating script. The configuration file also has a new +`meta.message-url` setting, which is documented in +`notmuch-report.json(5)`. + +`notmuch-report` now wraps query phrases in parentheses when and-ing +them together, to avoid confusion about clause grouping. -- 2.43.0
