Emacs/bug? additional email headers not shown

[Gregor Zattler]

Hi notmuch users and developers,

i'd like to see the Message-Id in thread view.  Therefore I
customised notmuch-message-headers via the customisation
interface like so:

(notmuch-message-headers (quote ("Received" "Message-Id" "Subject" "To" "Cc" "Date")))

but I still see the standard headers (Subject To Date) in this
order and hitting "h" shows only Subject or Subject To Date.

Could you please give me a hint how to customise which headers
are visible in a notmuch thread view?

Ciao, Gregor

Unfortunately the headers you can use there seem to be hardcoded at the
moment in notmuch-show.c:

In order to adress this, I guess one would have to either output all
headers in notmuch show, which leaves it to the client to choose which
headers are wanted (which sounds like a good choice to me, since this is
essentially a UI preference) or add a field to the config file that
specifies additional headers to be included here.

Cheers,
Daniel

Thanx for this explanation.
