Subject: [PATCH v2] emacs: notmuch-tree: customizable strings for drawing trees
Date: Sat, 21 Aug 2021 03:20:16 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210821022016.524637-2-jao@gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210821022016.524637-1-jao@gnu.org>

New customizable variable, notmuch-tree-thread-symbols, that allows
tweaking how trees in a forest are represented.  For instance, one can
now choose to use an hyphen rather than a white space as a prefix, or
remove pointy arrows.
