I'm not on the list so I missed that, sorry. :) So I tried that and it works, if I really don't touch anything. It's certainly an improvement over the previous behavior. Once the "message" is gone (ie. as soon as anything else is done in Emacs), it's a little hard to figure out what is happening without going through the status buffer. Maybe that's fine, but it would be nice if the button would immediately update with that status. For example, the text could change to "... updating" or something. Of course, we're back to the same place that it can't be updated without shuffling the buffer around if the point moved, but at least the UI would "remember" there was some change in the status (it's not just "Failure" but "We're working on it"). I also quite like the changes to the *..-gpg-out* buffer: it's a little more readable than it was before. Anyways, as is, I think it's a great improvement already and would recommend this for merging. A. PS: As it turns out, I had a lot of trouble importing those patches. I tried first to download the 2018 archive from here: https://notmuchmail.org/pipermail/notmuch/2018.txt.gz I tried converting this to a maildir and move it to ~/Maildir/.notmuch/ with spwhitton's mailscripts: mbox2maildir notmuch-2018.txt notmuch-2018 mdmv notmuch-2018/*/* ~/Maildir/.notmuch/ notmuch new But the last command did not find any new messages, which left me quite puzzled. The same thing occured with the full archive at: https://notmuchmail.org/archives/notmuch.mbox So I am not sure what I was doing wrong there... I ended up using mutt (bleeergh! ;)) to extract the patchset... --=20 We will create a civilization of the Mind in Cyberspace.
