Multiple files per message in emacs

Multiple files per message in emacs

[Rafael Ávila de Espíndola]

Hi,

I got a few emails which all have the same Message-ID:

$ notmuch search subject:'"MB WAY"'
thread:0000000000089926 34 mins. ago [1/1(3)] MB WAY....

$ notmuch search --output=files subject:'"MB WAY"' | xargs grep -i Message-ID
.../Inbox/cur/1654275120.5360_1.dell,U=16229:2,S:Message-ID: MB Way
.../Inbox/cur/1654275303.6122_1.dell,U=16230:2,S:Message-ID: MB Way
.../Inbox/cur/1654275508.11919_1.dell,U=16231:2,S:Message-ID: MB Way

In emacs I only see the content of the first file, and there is no
indication that others are present. I am using notmuch 0.36. Is that a
known limitation?

Thanks,
Rafael

It is a known limitation of the emacs UI. It should not be too hard to
add the total number of files to notmuch-search-mode (similar to the
default out put of notmuch search above.  Selecting between versions of
a message would probably require a substantial rewrite of
notmuch-show-mode. Such a rewrite might be desirable anyway, to fix the
slow rendering of large threads. It is probably easier to add the
viewing of alternate versions to notmuch-tree-mode, but I'm still not
sure what the UI should be like.\r

If you can build from source, there is new support for viewing
duplicates in master.

Just tested with 0.37 and it works. One thing that still seems to be
missing is handling different tags. For example, there is no way to mark
a new duplicated message as read.

Catching up on old messages in the mailing list, I'm not sure I
understand the desired behaviour. In principle if you get a second copy
of the same message, it should inherit the read/unread status of the
other copies (since tags are associated with message-ids). There are
some known limitations/bugs with that, but they are not emacs related
afaik.\r
