Subject: all intermediate drafts appear in threads (v0.24.2, Emacs 25.2)
Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2017 10:38:55 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <877ezcbdvk.fsf@olin.edu> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1964 bytes --]
I save an outgoing email as I write it and often (as if it were a
regular document) by using the usual Emacs key sequence C-x C-s. With
notmuch v0.24, notmuch saves a proper draft each time I use C-x C-s.
The result is a million drafts, which may be good.
However, it means that the thread view (in notmuch-show mode) includes
the zillion drafts. Attached is a screenshot of what I mean (sorry that
it is so small -- I downsampled it to get within the message-size
limit). I made the example by sending myself (sanjoy@localhost) a short
msg. Then I replied to it with 'r', and saved the reply a few times
(first with "Draft v1" as the body text, the next time with "Draft v2",
etc.).
I then sent the v3 reply.
Attached are the individual mail files as a tgz archive. The thread was
generated by the Emacs-front-end equivalent of
$ notmuch search from:sanjoy date:today.. subject:fake
which produces
thread:000000000002e52b 19 mins. ago [3/6] Sanjoy Mahajan; fake msg to test
appearance of drafts in thread (deleted draft new replied unread)
In my .notmuch-config I have
[search]
exclude_tags=spam;deleted;draft
but the summary output from notmuch-search counts deleted and draft
messages anwyay. Adding --exclude=all helps, and I've done that to my
version of "notmuch-search", but that fixes only the messages-matching
counts (it is 3/3 instead of 3/6):
$ notmuch search --exclude=all from:sanjoy date:today.. subject:fake
thread:000000000002e52b 23 mins. ago [3/3] Sanjoy Mahajan; fake msg to test
appearance of drafts in thread (new replied)
But even so the view of the thread inside Emacs still shows the deleted
or draft messages.
I am using Debian's Emacs 25.2 w/ notmuch 0.24.2.
Did I miss something in the configuration? Or should I be using the
drafts differently?
