Dear notmuch-emacs developers,
it would be nice if there was a facility to wash (= shorten)
the displayed To:, From: and Subject headers at least for
the display of notmuch search results.
From the users perspective this could be done via a list of
regular expressions with corresponding short forms.
I assume this would be best achieved in a frontend, not in notmuch
the command line utility.
Example use case:
Some of my emails are from a request tracker and have
extraordinary long From: and Subject: suffixes which add up to 49
characters. The only way to see the relevant parts of both From:
and Subject: in this cases is to use notmuch-emacs in a single,
maximized window. I would like to radically shorten this
boilerplate.
Ciao; Gregor
