What I did in mu4e-conversation was actually rather simple, albeit a bit
hackish:
- Copy the test from the composition buffer
- Save the window excursion
- Fire up a new message buffer as notmuch-show-reply would produce.
- Cleanup the citation.
- Insert the copied text from the composition buffer.
- Send.
Sadly, mu4e wraps too much around message-mode and this forced me to use
some ugly hacks. I haven't looked at notmuch's code yet, but it seems
that it does not wrap quite as much, so it might be cleaner and as
simple as a writing a 10-line-longish function.
The "hardest" part is to add a composition area.
Here is the code excerpt from mu4e-conversation:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun mu4e-conversation-send (&optional msg)
"Send message at the end of the view buffer.
If MSG is specified, then send this message instead.
Most `mu4e-compose-…' variables are lexically bound during the
call of this function."
(interactive)
(unless (mu4e-conversation--buffer-p)
(mu4e-warn "(send) Not a conversation buffer"))
(let (draft-buf
(buf (current-buffer))
(mu4e-compose-signature mu4e-compose-signature)
;; [More local variables...]
(mu4e-compose-crypto-reply-encrypted-policy mu4e-compose-crypto-reply-encrypted-policy))
(run-hooks 'mu4e-conversation-before-send-hook)
(save-window-excursion
(mu4e-conversation--open-draft msg)
(condition-case nil
;; Force-kill DRAFT-BUF on succcess since it's an implementation
;; detail in mu4e-conversation and the composition area is in BUF.
(let ((message-kill-buffer-on-exit t))
(message-send-and-exit))
;; Stay in draft buffer and widen in case we failed during header check.
(error (setq draft-buf (current-buffer))
(widen))))
(cond
(draft-buf
(switch-to-buffer draft-buf))
(mu4e-conversation-kill-buffer-on-exit
(switch-to-buffer buf)
(mu4e-conversation-quit 'no-confirm))
(t
;; Delete message that was just sent.
(goto-char (point-max))
(mu4e-conversation-previous-message)
(forward-line)
(delete-region (line-beginning-position 1) (point-max))
;; Ensure it's writable.
(insert
(propertize "\n"
'face 'mu4e-conversation-header
'rear-nonsticky t))
(set-buffer-modified-p nil)
;; -after-send-hook can be used to update the conversation buffer so that
;; it includes the message that was just sent.
(run-hooks 'mu4e-conversation-after-send-hook)))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The hackish part is in mu4e-conversation--open-draft, which I'm not
including here because it's long and boring. Hopefully notmuch.el won't
require us to do this.
