This patch switches from reading .notmuch-config directly to using
the CLI the same way that emacs does it.  It actually uses less code
and is probably less error prone.

This update changes result to be '' instead of nil
by default so missing config items won't cause an error.

The general approach seems sane; it seems quite brittle to read the
config file directly. I notice there is not really any error handling;
OTOH, as far as I can read Ruby, there is not any in the previous
version either.  Technically, this does add a dependency of the vim
client on the CLI that did not exist before. Personally I don't find
this onerous (even notmuch-vim users need "notmuch new", except in
rather unusual circumstances.).

I'd like feedback/testing from actual vim interface users before
merging.

The patch works fine for me.

Ian, though I could not test whether result='' matters or not, cause
'notmuch get' looks to always return a string.

It also fixes id:CAHc2pO19AZabAiJhdfQR1rL5t0GufLAq5cKb_7w-Z8y+JXT5+g@mail.gmail.com

I am actually just following suit on what was already being done.
The Vim client was already calling out to notmuch CLI for other things,
eg:

   system "notmuch show --format=mbox id:#{m.message_id} > #{mbox} && #{cmd}"

Is used to save the email for display in another program.  Also with no
error checking.  I think basically we are relying on rubys exception handling
to display errors to the user.. not the best idea but it is functional.

I could add a check for 'notmuch' binary.. especially there because loading
the config is the first thing that is done on startup.

Just wanted to note that you read user.name twice.

>  		$email = "%s <%s>" % [$email_name, $email_address]
This is not related to this patch:
I don't know if it is a good idea to force $email_name on every
$email_address. Maybe use it as a fallback and introduce an optional
mailaddress-sendername map. So the user can specify which name should be
used. (Imagine a "Dr." who wants to have "Dr. P. Harmony" for his official
mails, but "Phil Harmony" for private ones. Or a writer who uses several
psudonyms.)
Maybe this can be solved by the sendmail application, but probably
that requires leaving out email_name entirely. Will setup a test env
later to evaluate.

We're starting to get a few notmuch-vim patches ready at

      http://nmbug.tethera.net/status/#Maybe-Ready-vim-

Unless Felipe convinces me otherwise, I'll start merging these into
notmuch master in the next few days.

That's great!  Thanks David.

I think the 'Make patch saving in vim a little better.' patch set
should go in soon too as it actually fixes a bug (patch saving causes a
backtrace right now).
