Subject: [PATCH] cli/new: improve error reporting
Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2017 23:01:26 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170715020126.16349-1-david@tethera.net> (raw)

Recently a user reported a crash in notmuch new, but because of
missing error reporting, all they could say was "A Xapian exception
occured". This commit adds the extra information available about
the error message in the exception.
