There didn't seem to be these basic tests for --format=text,
as there are for --format=json.  These are just the tests from
the `json' script, with adjusted expected outputs.

Output Reply-To headers when present in a message.
These were missing in text and json output formats.

As long as we're going to support this silly output format we should
probably have some basic tests for it, so we should definitely push this
patch, regardless if we want the rest of this series or not.

I don't see why the Reply-To header is needed, given that we are
constructing reply templates, but I guess if someone thinks it's needed
I don't see much harm in including it.

I didn't test it, but it looks ok to me.

jamie.

I want to see what the sender intended, before hitting reply.

Series LGTM, though I'm curious why you want the reply-to header,
given that nothing I'm aware of consumes it.

I second Jameson's opinion that we should push this first patch even
if we wind up not pushing the others.

Given that there have been requests to see a lot of other headers as
well, we probably need to have a discussion about which ones are worth
of emitting, and how we give the user some more general control to see
the ones they want.  Either that or we just emit them all?

jamie.

If we start with the obvious:

  notmuch show --output-headers=date,from,subject,to,cc,reply-to ...

with the default being the current set.

Emitting everything would be easier but seems wasteful.  I just looked
at a random message: in RFC822 syntax the header is 4073 bytes, and the
body is 1116 bytes.  Keeping only the fields that notmuch emits reduces
the header to 295 bytes.  Reply-To is 92 bytes, but not every message
has that.

I wonder if it would make sense for this option to be combined with
something like
id:"1341041595-5858-1-git-send-email-markwalters1009@gmail.com" which
chooses whether to output the body of the message or not.

Maybe something like --output=short|medium|full
with short being just the brief headers, medium being the current
default of brief headers and text bodies, and full being message with
all headers.

I am not sure I like it (as someone will want full headers and no
bodies!) but we don't want the command line to get too cluttered.

Another possibility for this particular choice: could a list of wanted
headers be included in the config file? Since I think you want it for
"user wants to see it" reasons rather than "program needs it to do
something" reasons that might make sense.

Best wishes

Mark

This option seems like the type of thing that would be used primarily
by frontends, so it matters much more that they have control over the
output than that the command line is terse.  We should provide
reasonable defaults for the occasional flesh and blood call to the
CLI, but I don't think we need to cater to that use.

This would make a lot of sense in the frontend configuration (so much
so that we already have it!  But it's currently limited to removing
headers).  Also, if it's in the notmuch configuration, then when
programs do need the headers to do something, it becomes very
difficult to request what they need.

I have pushed the first patch in the series.
