use text properties rather than overlays

use text properties rather than overlays

[David Edmondson]

In preparation for changes to support showing and hiding MIME parts on
the fly (general parts, choosing amongst multipart/alternative and
show updated signing/encryption status without redisplay) I'm trying
to clean up some of the `notmuch-show-mode' code. This patch is part
of that, though it stands upon its' own.

Austin provided some code to allow the invisible overlays to be added
to `notmuch-search-mode' buffers lazily. That same approach could be
used here, but it's not implemented yet.

[PATCH 1/2] emacs: Use text properties rather than overlays in
[PATCH 2/2] test: Update test to match previous patch.

[PATCH 1/2] emacs: Use text properties rather than overlays in `notmuch-show-mode'.

[David Edmondson]

Except for where invisibility is involved, replace the use of overlays
in `notmuch-show-mode' with text properties, which are more efficient
and can be merged together more effectively.

Re: [PATCH 1/2] emacs: Use text properties rather than overlays in `notmuch-show-mode'.

[Austin Clements]

LGTM other than one very minor nit, though I pretty reliably make
fence post errors when dealing with text properties, so perhaps
somebody else should check that.

Does this need rear-nonsticky or are the headers already formed enough
by this point that it isn't necessary?

I feel like I should know this, but what's the effect of giving a list
as the face property?  I assume it merges them in the same way it
merges, say, overlay and text property faces, but the documentation
only says that you can give a list, not what it means.

Why swap the order of the setq and the indent-rigidly?

It's as though they are applied in reverse order, so attributes of the
faces nearer the front of the list win.

A mistake.

I spent some time trying to use `line-prefix' and `wrap-prefix'
properties to replace the indentation, but couldn't get it to work well
when combined with invisible overlays (the effect is as though faces
start bleeding out from the end of the invisible region).

[PATCH v2 1/2] emacs: Use text properties rather than overlays in `notmuch-show-mode'.

[David Edmondson]

Except for where invisibility is involved, replace the use of overlays
in `notmuch-show-mode' with text properties, which are more efficient
and can be merged together more effectively.

Re: [PATCH v3 1/2] emacs: Use text properties rather than overlays in `notmuch-show-mode'.

[Mark Walters]

Hi

I looked at this and think its ok except for one trivial (but
significant) rebase error.

Best wishes 

Mark

I think the setq has to come before the indent-rigidly. (Also I think
there is a whitespace error in the second line of the indent-rigidly.)

Hi! Just working through the patch queue. This patch is tagged
notmuch::moreinfo, although it seems like the rest of the series may
have been tagged notmuch::stale or notmuch::pushed. It's a little hard
to figure out, because the thread structure is really messed up. Is this
patch still viable? It now *breaks* the emacs test on my machine.

Hey, Ethan.  I would say that anything this old should just
automatically be tagged stale.

jamie.
