The feature is available through the new command line option +`--reply-to=(all|sender)`. + +### JSON reply format + +`notmuch reply` can now produce JSON output that contains the headers +for a reply message and full information about the original message +begin replied to. This allows MUAs to create replies intelligently. +For example, an MUA that can parse HTML might quote HTML parts. + +Calling notmuch reply with `--format=json` imposes the restriction that +only a single message is returned by the search, as replying to +multiple messages does not have a well-defined behavior. The default +retains its current behavior for multiple message replies. + +### Tag exclusion + +Tags can be automatically excluded from search results by adding them +to the new `search.exclude_tags` option in the Notmuch config file. + +This behaviour can be overridden by explicitly including an excluded +tag in your query, for example: + + notmuch search $your_query and tag:$excluded_tag + +Existing users will probably want to run `notmuch setup` again to add +the new well-commented [search] section to the configuration file. + +For new configurations, accepting the default setting will cause the +tags "deleted" and "spam" to be excluded, equivalent to running: + + notmuch config set search.exclude_tags deleted spam + +### Raw show format changes + +The output of show `--format=raw` has changed for multipart and +message parts. Previously, the output was a mash of somewhat-parsed +headers and transfer-decoded bodies. Now, such parts are reproduced +faithfully from the original source. Message parts (which includes +part 0) output the full message, including the message headers (but +not the transfer headers). Multipart parts output the part as +encoded in the original message, including the part's headers. Leaf +parts, as before, output the part's transfer-decoded body. + +### Listing configuration items + +The new `config list` command prints out all configuration items and +their values. + +Emacs Interface +--------------- + +### Changes to tagging interface + +The user-facing tagging functions in the Emacs interface have been +normalized across all notmuch modes. The tagging functions are now +notmuch-search-tag in search-mode, and notmuch-show-tag in +show-mode. They accept a string representing a single tag change, +or a list of tag changes. See 'M-x describe-function notmuch-tag' +for more information. + +NOTE: This breaks compatibility with old tagging functions, so user +may need to update in custom configurations. + +### Reply improvement using the JSON format + +Emacs now uses the JSON reply format to create replies. It obeys +the customization variables message-citation-line-format and +message-citation-line-function when creating the first line of the +reply body, and it will quote HTML parts if no text/plain parts are +available. + +New add-on tool: notmuch-mutt +----------------------------- + +The new contrib/ tool `notmuch-mutt` provides Notmuch integration for +the Mutt mail user agent. Using it, Mutt users can perform mail +search, thread reconstruction, and mail tagging/untagging without +leaving Mutt. notmuch-mutt, formerly distributed under the name +`mutt-notmuch` by Stefano Zacchiroli, will be maintained as a notmuch +contrib/ from now on. + +Library changes +--------------- + +The API changes detailed below break binary and source compatibility, +so libnotmuch has been bumped to version 3.0.0. + +### The function `notmuch_database_close` has been split into `notmuch_database_close` and `notmuch_database_destroy` + +This makes it possible for long running programs to close the xapian +database and thus release the lock associated with it without +destroying the data structures obtained from it. + +### `notmuch_database_open`, `notmuch_database_create`, and `notmuch_database_get_directory` now return errors + +The type signatures of these functions have changed so that the +functions now return a `notmuch_status_t` and take an out-argument for +returning the new database object or directory object. + +Go bindings changes +------------------- + +### Go 1 compatibility + +The go bindings and the `notmuch-addrlookup` utility are now +compatible with go 1. -- 2.43.0
