Hi,

I added a variable to toggle message indentation in Emacs.

Please let me know what you think.


Cheers,
Felix

I like the change.  Though I do not think I would use it without
chronological sorting.

Comments on the code below.

This line is too long and should be split.

(if notmuch-show-indent-messages-in-thread
    (insert (notmuch-show-spaces-n depth)))

Is cleaner and avoids useless empty string insert.

Not a big deal, but I would prefer `if' instead of `when' here.

Hi Dmitry,

thank you for the comments. I included an updated patch that also
includes Daniel's comment regarding the default value. 

I didn't change the "when" though--not because of personal reasons
;)--but because it is used for determining indentation of multi-parts.


Cheers,
Felix

Hi Felix,

I think this should default to t, so it doesn't change the current
default behavior (which I find quite helpful).

Hi, Felix.  Thanks for submitting this patch.  I think it's a good idea.
I have a couple of comments below, a couple of which echo what Dmitry
has already pointed out.

This patch doesn't include a commit log, which is something we generally
require.  The preferred way to send patches is with git format-patch or
send-email, both of which format patches in such a way that they can be
immediately applied to a git repo, including with the commit log.

I agres with Dmitry that this should default to 't', to be consistent
with the current default behavior.

I also agree with Dmitry's suggestion here to use the following slightly
simpler construct:

 (if notmuch-show-indent-messages-in-thread
     (insert (notmuch-show-spaces-n depth)))

Finally, as Dmitry also points out, you'll almost certainly need to
construct a test for this feature, since it constitutes a pretty big
formatting change.  It should probably test for both cases of the
customization variable.  Check out the tests in tests/emacs for
guidance.

hth.

Ok, tried again :) 

I attached two commits. One that includes the changes (which have most
comments incorporated, only that I stick to when rather than if) and one
that includes a test. I still can't run the tests myself, I attached an
excerpt of what errors come up for the emacs subset, so I haven't tested
the test itself :( However, it is a simple copy of an existing one, but
I use a let to change the value of the new variable and adapted one of
the existing expected outputs to lack indentation. I'd be grateful if
someone could test it...

Didn't know about format-patch, thanks :) 


Cheers,
Felix

Got the test suite to run on my machine and I fixed a editing typo of
the expected output. After that the test runs fine on my machine. The
patch that has the actual changes needs no changing. Let me know if
something's wrong/missing.

Felix

Hey, Felix.  It looks like the two attachments to your email are
actually the emails generated by format-patch that should have been sent
to the list.  Instead of attaching them to other emails, send them to
the list directly.  You might take a look at the git send-email command,
which can handle sending them directly for you.

+
+notmuch indexed the messages without complaint, but my attempt at

+
+Resulted in 4604 lines of errors along the lines of:

Re: [PATCH 1/2] Added variable to toggle message indendation in Emacs' notmuch-show

[Jameson Graef Rollins]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 948 bytes --]

Hi, Felix.  Thanks for resubmitting these patches.  A couple more
comments:

Remember to include a longer log message with you patch.  Beyond just
the single line commit message, the patch should also include a longer
commit message, separated from the first line by a blank line, that
explains what exactly the patch is doing and why.

We've also been trying to get in the habit of sending patches to the
test suite *first*, before the patch that actually implements the
change.  The reason being that we can apply the test-suite patch first,
see that the feature or bug fix you're trying to implement is not
implemented, then apply the fix and see that everything is working
again.

Now is probably a good time to remind everyone to look at the GIT patch
submission guidlines, which notmuch has been trying to follow (also
linked from http://notmuchmail.org):

http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git?a=blob;f=Documentation/SubmittingPatches;hb=HEAD

[PATCH] Emacs: Toggle message indentation for threads in notmuch-show

[Felix Geller]

Yet another attempt at submitting a trivial patch for toggling message
indentation in Emacs' notmuch-show buffers and a test for such
functionality.

Signed-off-by: Felix Geller <fgeller@gmail.com>

[PATCH 1/2] Emacs: Test for turning off indentation of messages in threads

[Felix Geller]

In Emacs, notmuch indents messages according to their thread
depth. This leads to unused space and sometimes strange
formatting of paragraphs with long lines. Therefore I would like
to turn it off and have the message thread look more like a
conversation, as on GMail for example.

This commit contains a test for such functionality. It tests
notmuch-show for a message thread without the indentation to
indicate thread depth of messages.

configure indentation width instead? (was: Re: [PATCH 2/2] Emacs: Add variable to toggle thread indentation to notmuch-show)

[Gregor Zattler]

Hi Felix, notmuch develpers,

Felix introduces a boolean configuration variable in order to
disable/enable indentation.   Wouldn't it be more helpful and
powerful to customise the indentation width with "0" meaning no
indentation, "1" being the current behaviour, "2" meaning double
indentation, "3" threefold indentation ...  ?

Just my 2 Euro-cents, Gregor

Sometimes I find indenting by one character too small to find the
replied message in long threads.

I also need more indentation in order to not get lost in long
threads and displays are wide today.

I now altered Felix' patches from dis/enabling indentation to
making indentation customisable.  I actually have no clue of
elisp and the test suite, I really only altered his patches.

The actual patch makes message indentation customisable by
introducing a variable `notmuch-indent-messages-width' which
defaults to `1', which is the same as before.  Felix could set
this variable to `0' in order to disable indentation, I tested it
with a value of `4' for a clearer separation of messages in a
thread.  This patch works for me.

I also altered Felix test to use this new variable.  I don't know
how to run the test suite and therefore don't know if it really
tests zero indentation.

HTH and thanks for notmuch and notmuch-Emacs which perhaps helps
me to use Emacs as a MUA, Gregor

[PATCH 1/2] emacs: add customisation for message indentation width

[Gregor Zattler]

Messages are shown indented according to their depth in message
threads.  Previously indentation width was hardcoded to `1'
space.  This patch adds a new variable `notmuch-indent-messages-width' 
which governs how many spaces are used per level of indentation.
Defaults to `1' for compatibility with previous behaviour.

Perhaps I misunderstand you, but running test suite is documented in
test/README. 

Of course, whether a particular feature is tested is a different
question and requires examining (in this case) test/emacs.

[PATCH 2/2] Emacs: test: notmuch-show for a message thread without the indentation

[Gregor Zattler]

In Emacs, notmuch indents messages according to their thread
depth.  This leads to unused space and sometimes strange
formatting of paragraphs with long lines.  Therefore I would like
to turn it off and have the message thread look more like a
conversation, as on GMail for example.

This commit contains a test for such functionality.  It tests
notmuch-show for a message thread without the indentation to
indicate thread depth of messages by setting
notmuch-indent-messages-width to `0'.
---
I send this test as second patch since it depends on the
notmuch-indent-messages-width variable introduced by the first
one.

[PATCH 2a/2] emacs: test notmuch-indent-messages-width default

Subject: [PATCH] emacs: test notmuch-indent-messages-width default

Previous behaviour was to indent messages in a thread according
to depth by one space per level.  This is still the case with
notmuch-indent-messages-width default value `1'.  This test
succeeds if output with default value is same as in "Basic
notmuch-show view in emacs".

Sure.

Felix Geller started this thread by proposing a patch to turn off
message indentation in notmuch show.  I instead wanted more
indentation.  I propose this patch set which

a) makes indentation width configurable, therefore Felix may set
   it to `0' which turns indentation off, I set it to `4' since I
   want clearer indication of thread level, while default is `1'
   which is the same as before.

b) contains three tests fore the above mentioned indentation width 
   values.

Thanks for notmuch, gregor

[PATCH 1/4] emacs: make message indentation width customisable

[Gregor Zattler]

Till now Emacs UI indents messages according to their respecive
depth of neting in the thread.  The actual width of indentation
per level is hardcoded to `1' space.
This patch makes message indentation customisable by introducing
a variable `notmuch-indent-messages-width' which defaults to `1',
which is the same as before.  Felix could set this variable to
`0' in order to disable indentation, I tested it with a value of
`4' for a clearer separation of messages in a thread.

to depth by one space per level.  In
id:1311028119-50637-1-git-send-email-fgeller@gmail.com Felix
Geller proposed a patch in order to turn indentation off.  This
commit tests if instead setting notmuch-indent-messages-width to
`0' does turn off indentation.

+I saw the LWN article and decided to take a look at notmuch.  I'm
+currently using mutt and mairix to index and read a collection of
+Maildir mail folders (around 40,000 messages total).
+
+notmuch indexed the messages without complaint, but my attempt at

+  notmuch search storage
+
+Resulted in 4604 lines of errors along the lines of:

[PATCH 4/4] emacs: test notmuch show with fourfold message indentation

[Gregor Zattler]

Previous behaviour was to indent messages in a thread according
to depth by one space per level.  This commit tests if setting
notmuch-indent-messages-width to `4' provides a message thread
with four spaces of indentation thread depth.

+I saw the LWN article and decided to take a look at notmuch.  I'm
+currently using mutt and mairix to index and read a collection of
+Maildir mail folders (around 40,000 messages total).
+
+notmuch indexed the messages without complaint, but my attempt at
+searching bombed out. Running, for example:
+
+  notmuch search storage
+
+Resulted in 4604 lines of errors along the lines of:
+
+  Error opening
+  /home/lars/Mail/read-messages.2008/cur/1246413773.24928_27334.hostname,U=3026:2,S:
+  Too many open files
+
+I'm curious if this is expected behavior (i.e., notmuch does not work
+with Maildir) or if something else is going on.

[PATCH 2c/2] emacs: test notmuch show with fourfold message indentation

[Gregor Zattler]

From b5d459eb961ff218042e7bd134346ce2c2357dca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Gregor Zattler <telegraph@gmx.net>
Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2011 21:28:09 +0200
Subject: [PATCH] emacs: test notmuch show with fourfold message indentation

Previous behaviour was to indent messages in a thread according
to depth by one space per level.  This commit tests if setting
notmuch-indent-messages-width to `4' provides a message thread
with four spaces of indentation thread depth.

It looks good, except you need some commit messages. Have a look at the
existing commits to get an idea of what the standards are. Particularly
look at cworth's commits and you'll know what he thinks ;)
