Subject: [PATCH] emacs: drop setting mail-user-agent, and document how to set it
Date: Fri, 4 Jun 2021 20:16:13 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210604231613.1455572-1-david@tethera.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210513232807.1727569-1-david@tethera.net>
After some discussion [1], I decided it is better to make notmuch users
who rely on this behaviour customize mail-user-agent. This is
consistent with the behaviour of other emacs mail packages.

+`notmuch` no longer sets `mail-user-agent` on load. To restore the
+previous behaviour of using notmuch to send mail by default, customize
