Fcc, Maildir, and Emacs message-mode -- a bit of code

Fcc, Maildir, and Emacs message-mode -- a bit of code

[Jesse Rosenthal]

Dear all,

First of all, many thanks to Carl and others for writing notmuch.

Some folks on IRC were bemoaning message-mode's annoying inability to
save sent-mail to a Maildir using Fcc. I mentioned that I had written a
bit of Maildir elisp code for that purpose a while back, and it was
suggested that I share it with the list.

Some caveats:

- I've tested this a good number of times, but not very robustly, since
  I don't actually use it (I found that I prefer blind-copying
  myself). Please test it out somewhere safe, on a maildir you can
  afford to lose.

- The hardlinking performed by `add-name-to-file' might be platform and
  filesystem specific. I'm using linux/ext3, and it works here. I don't
  know what will happen anywhere else.

- I imagine there's a much better implementation inside of Wanderlust,
  if you can dig through all the libraries.

- It's not really commented, but I hope the function names are pretty
  self-explanatory.

- It requires that the directory in the `Fcc:' header already exist and
  be a maildir (i.e. have cur/, new/, and tmp/). It should be pretty
  simple to add in a prompt for creating a directory if it points to a
  nonexistent place.

Anyway, here it is:

http://jkr.acm.jhu.edu/jkr-maildir.el

To use it, set one of the following:

If you want Fcc'd messages to be marked as read:

     (setq message-fcc-handler-function 
          '(lambda (destdir) 
	     (jkr/maildir-write-buffer-to-maildir destdir t)))

If you want Fcc'd messages to be marked as new:

     (setq message-fcc-handler-function 
          '(lambda (destdir) 
	     (jkr/maildir-write-buffer-to-maildir destdir nil)))


Best,
Jesse

Hey, folks.  Following up on this thread about better fcc handling,
Jesse passed on a simple python script he wrote that uses the python
"mailbox" module to deliver a message on stdin to a specified maildir
directory.  It's very a simple, elegant and general purpose script
(attached).

I then put the following in my notmuch .emacs to use the new script in
message-mode to fcc sent mail to my ~/.mail/sent directory:

;; fcc handler
(defun maildir-deliver-region(destdir)
  (shell-command-on-region
   (point-min) (point-max)
   (concat "maildir-deliver.py -c -s -d " destdir)))
(setq message-fcc-handler-function 'maildir-deliver-region)
(defun my-message-header-setup ()
  (message-add-header "Fcc: ~/.mail/sent"))
(add-hook 'message-send-hook 'my-message-header-setup)

Works like a charm.  Thanks Jesse!

I think we should look at packaging this in a set of notmuch helper
scripts, hopefully including notmuchsync.

jamie.

First, I think this FCC method is phantastic and it works like a
charm. I agree that we should include the snippets at least in some
"contrib" directory (or doc/examples) to make it easier to find.

I tried to replace that snippet with:

(setq message-default-mail-headers "Fcc:  ~/.mail/sent\n")

because I like to see the Fcc header when composing, but this only works
for new messages (via ctrl-x m) and not when invoked with "r"(eply) on
an existing message in notmuch.

Is message-default-mail-headers only invoked for completely new mails?
The message mode manual doesn't state anything about that.

And I agree with JRollins patch to not add the BCC to myself from
notmuch.el by default. Either make it a notmuch option, or specify how to
set up a default BCC in emacs in the docs.

I'm really glad this was useful.  Thanks of course to Jesse, who
initially figured all this out.

I'm pretty convinced that soon enough we'll have a new packages worth of
notmuch helper functions and scripts.

Yeah, I started out doing that as well, but I tried every permutation of
setup hooks I could think of and couldn't get consisten behavior when
doing replys or new messages.  I ended up just using the send-hook
because it was simple and consistent.

I think this needs to just be done via a personal emacs config.  There's
really no need for the notmuch CLI to handle this, when it can easily
enough be handled by the reader UI.

jamie.

I'm glad it's proved useful. However, I should say that I'd be wary of
distributing it, or even recommending it, without at least rudimentary
error checking -- even if it's just the delivery function returning
either 0 or -1, and the emacs wrapper reporting failure back to the user
in a sensible fashion. As it is now, a failed delivery will either go
silently by, or muck everything up in a not-so-useful way.

Returning some sort of success/fail would just take a couple of
try/except lines. I would have put that in myself, but I just whipped it
up for personal use (and then never used it).

Best,
Jesse

This is really nice - just what I needed. Well, almost.

Instead of passing in destdir it would be even better if the lisp code
figured out which MailDir to use. So we'd have a configuration variable
that matched From addresses to MailDirs
"dirk@hohndel.org" "~/MailDirHohndel"
"dirk.hohndel@intel.com" "~/MailDirIntel"
etc.
And just for safety used the passed in destdir as fallback / default.

Anyone willing / able to add this? I can't lisp to save my life...

Re: Fcc, Maildir, and Emacs message-mode -- a bit of code

[Sebastian Spaeth]

As Carl stated that he would probably merge this one if someone tested
it, here it comes: I tested it and it works great. When I define a
non-existing directory as maildir it aborts with an error message that
is visible to the user.

I put this in a branch based on cworth/master and with Jesse's
permission, I renamed the functions and did some further cleanup (It's
also integrated in the build system)

The git branch is here:
http://github.com/spaetz/notmuch-all-feature/tree/feature/elisp-fcc

It's not enabled by default. Enable it with:

(setq message-fcc-handler-function 
      '(lambda (destdir) 
         (notmuch-maildir-fcc-write-buffer-to-maildir destdir t)))

(add-hook 'message-send-hook 
          '(lambda ()
             (message-add-header "Fcc: ~/mail/INBOX.Sent")))

in your .emacs for now.

I'll send the patch series by mail in a second.

I have the slight problem that offlineimap takes the message from
INBOX.Sent/cur and stuffs it in INBOX.Sent/new (but that cannot really
be related to this as the mail ends up correctly in /cur after sending
it).

[PATCH] notmuch.el: Make notmuch-show buffer name first subject, instead of thread-id (supersedes V1--3)

[Sebastian Spaeth]

From: Jesse Rosenthal <jrosenthal@jhu.edu>

(Embarassing -- this should be the last fix.)

Change the buffer name to a uniquified subject of the thread (i.e. the
subject of the first message in the thread) instead of the thread-id. This
is more meaningful to the user, and will make it easier to scroll through
numerous open buffers.

Note that this patch adds an optional `buffer-name' argument to notmuch
show.

This version supersedes V1--3 of this patch. It is rebased on HEAD,
ensures that the buffer names are unique, and that the `notmuch-show'
command can still be used interactively (fixing embarassing bugs in V2
and V3 which prevented that)

[PATCH 5/6] notmuch-maildir-fcc: use insert-buffer-substring

[Sebastian Spaeth]

Rather than the insert-buffer. Emacs complains that it is for interactive use
and not for use within elisp. So use insert-buffer-substring which does the
same thing when not handed any 'begin' 'end' parameters.

I am now using this patch together with this little snippet in my .emacs
file to FCC into per-from-address specific sent folders

;; This is the list of alternatives that should be configurable as
;; defcustom (or simply set in .emacs for now)
(setq notmuch-fcc-dirs '(
      ("Dirk Hohndel <dirk.hohndel@intel.com>" . "Maildir/Sent Items")
      ("Dirk Hohndel <hohndel@infradead.org>" . "MaildirInfradead/Sent")))

;This constructs a path, concatenating the content of the variable
;"message-directory" and the second part in the alist:
(defun my-fcc-header-setup ()
(let ((subdir (cdr (assoc (message-fetch-field "from") notmuch-fcc-dirs))))
     (message-add-header (concat "Fcc: " message-directory subdir))))
(add-hook 'message-send-hook 'my-fcc-header-setup)

(setq message-fcc-handler-function
       '(lambda (destdir)
	   (notmuch-maildir-fcc-write-buffer-to-maildir destdir t)))

I am using the message-send-hook (instead of the
message-header-setup-hook as Sebastian initially suggested) because I
tend to edit the From line in my message buffer and want to make sure
that it uses the final From line. Also, this way the FCC also works
correctly with replies (the message-header-setup-hook doesn't get called
by our notmuch-reply function, it seems).

The disadvantage is that with the message-send-hook I don't get to see /
correct the FCC line in the message buffer - but since I trust the logic
here (and tested it quite a bit), I'm less concerned about this.

Finally, for other emacs-newbies like me - this concats the
message-directory variable with the path that you setup in the
notmuch-fcc-dirs associative array... so the path to the sent folder
needs to be relative to that.

Carl - I'd love to see this in 0.3

Another disadvantage is that this does not provide a fallback, so if you
type "dirk" rather than "Dirk" in your from, the fcc dir will be nil, so
it tries to deliver just to "message-directory". The user should be able
to configure a default FCC dir, I think.

[PATCH 7/7] Integrate notmuch-fcc mechansim

[Sebastian Spaeth]

I have gone wild and added a defcustom "notmuch-fcc-dirs".
Depending on the value of that variable we will not do any
maildir fcc at all (nil, the default), or it is of the format
(("defaultsentbox")
 ("full name <email@address>" . "Work/sentbox")
 ("full name2 <email2@address2>" . "Work2/sentbox"))

The outbox name will be concatenated with the message mode
variable "message-directory" which is "~/Mail/" by default.

With this solution, no customization of a user's .emacs file
is needed at all.

Signed-off-by: Sebastian Spaeth <Sebastian@SSpaeth.de>

I went wild and did a proper notmuch integration including customizations.
Maildir FCC is turned off by default and can be turned on to some universal
SENTBOX or to Dirk's sepcial use case with multiple outboxes depending on 
the from address. Some testing would be appreciated before it is merged.
It seems to work nicely here. And be lenient, remember I am an elisp noob.

some tests with it. Also, I am not sure if the error message still

that it works nice and reliably here. I have now dumped my python
script. I feel pretty confident that this can go in.

I had talked to Carl about this yesterday - I think we both would prefer
that patches be emailed, too. The git trees are great for pulling
patches from, but it seems easier to review them here in email...

[PATCH 3/4] notmuch-maildir-fcc: elisp syntax fixes

[Sebastian Spaeth]

1)use insert-buffer-substring

Rather than the insert-buffer. Emacs complains that it is for interactive use
and not for use within elisp. So use insert-buffer-substring which does the
same thing when not handed any 'begin' 'end' parameters.

2)replace caddr with (car (cdr (cdr)))

The former requires 'cl to be loaded and during make install emacs complained
about not knowing it.

[PATCH 4/4] Integrate notmuch-fcc mechansim

[Sebastian Spaeth]

I have gone wild and added a defcustom "notmuch-fcc-dirs".
Depending on the value of that variable we will not do any
maildir fcc at all (nil, the default), or it is of the format
(("defaultsentbox")
 ("full name <email@address>" . "Work/sentbox")
 ("full name2 <email2@address2>" . "Work2/sentbox"))

The outbox name will be concatenated with the message mode
variable "message-directory" which is "~/Mail/" by default.

I love this feature (unsurprising, as I was the one who requested it
repeatedly...).

One question from the elisp noop:

> +   (let ((subdir (cdr (assoc (message-fetch-field "from") notmuch-fcc-dirs))))

Why not make this 

    (let ((subdir (cdr (assoc-string (message-fetch-field "from") notmuch-fcc-dirs t))))

and have the association be case insensitive?

[PATCH v3 1/4] Add elisp file for FCC to maildir solution

[Sebastian Spaeth]

From: Jesse Rosenthal <jrosenthal@jhu.edu>

File grabbed from http://jkr.acm.jhu.edu/jkr-maildir.el
but not integrated yet.

Signed-off-by: Sebastian Spaeth <Sebastian@SSpaeth.de>

 The patch series needed rebasing as it conflicts now with some of the
 notmuch-hello and notmuch-mua additions. Also, I integrated Dirk's proposal
 to use assoc-string which makes the address lookup case-insensitive.

[PATCH v3 3/4] notmuch-maildir-fcc: elisp syntax fixes

[Sebastian Spaeth]

1)use insert-buffer-substring

Rather than the insert-buffer. Emacs complains that it is for interactive use
and not for use within elisp. So use insert-buffer-substring which does the
same thing when not handed any 'begin' 'end' parameters.

2)replace caddr with (car (cdr (cdr)))

The former requires 'cl to be loaded and during make install emacs complained
about not knowing it.

[PATCH v3 4/4] Integrate notmuch-fcc mechansim

[Sebastian Spaeth]

I have gone wild and added a defcustom "notmuch-fcc-dirs".
Depending on the value of that variable we will not do any
maildir fcc at all (nil, the default), or it is of the format
(("defaultsentbox")
 ("full name <email@address>" . "Work/sentbox")
 ("full name2 <email2@address2>" . "Work2/sentbox"))

The outbox name will be concatenated with the message mode
variable "message-directory" which is "~/Mail/" by default.

I've merged this now and pushed it out.

I did have some problems trying to use it, which would have prevented me
From pushing it out, I think, except that it's disabled by default.

But I would actually prefer to have it enabled by default. Here are
some of the things I'd like to see changed to let us do that:

  * Insert a '/' if necessary when concatenating message-directory to
    the configured directory.

	I was getting "/home/cworth/mailsent" instead of
	"/home/cworth/mail/sent" here.

  * Make the Fcc header visible when composing a message

	Otherwise it's hard to know if the Fcc code is actually getting
	invoked.

	And we do enough magic here, (the above concatenation, and also
	the a-list matching), that we should let the user see the
	result. This would also allow the user to modify the Fcc if
	necessary.

  * Fix code to create directories as necessary

	If I manually added an Fcc header before sending, (even by just
	calling `notmuch-fcc-header-setup'), there is some prompting
	about creating the directory. But I don't get this when I just
	send a message (hoping that the Fcc stuff will kick in and do
	it's job).

	But even if I just point to a directory, (without cur, new, and
	tmp), it complains about "not a regular file" or something. I'd
	rather just have it create the directories it needs.

	I found by trial-and-error that if I do create the directory,
	*and* create the cur, new, and tmp sub-directories then the Fcc
	actually works.

  * Fix to not depend on message-directory variable

	I think a relative directory specification should be interpreted
	with respect to the notmuch mail directory. It's currently a
	little "tricky" for emacs code to get at that since we don't
	have a command-line interface for querying configuration. [Does
	emacs have a parser for this style of configuration file?]

	The quick fix is probably to accept only an absolute path and
	fixup the documentation. Then if someone wants to do the
	additional work to support a directory relative to the notmuch
	mail directory, then that could be done in the future.

With the above in place, I'd be happy to have this all enabled by
default. (But I guess we can't do that until we *do* have support for a
relative path since notmuch won't be able to construct an absolute path
without configuration.)

Then, we can remove the Bcc from the "notmuch reply" output. And we can
add an option for people who would prefer Bcc (or even Cc as keithp
wants) instead of Fcc.

That will all be later than 0.3 though.

[PATCH] emacs: fcc should fail at the right time if it doesn't point to a maildir

[Jesse Rosenthal]

Throw an error after the maildir is generated but before the message
is sent. This change allows the user to edit the maildir if it fails,
so that it will point to a correct place.

Note that this changes the previous behavior which always overwrote
the existing Fcc line. Now, an Fcc line is only auto-generated if
there isn't one already there.

The ideal change would be to prompt to create a maildir. This should
enable a place for doing that in a future patch.

[PATCH] emacs: add prompt to create maildir for fcc if it does not exist.

[Jesse Rosenthal]

If the user specifies a maildir that does not exist, prompt the user to
see whether a maildir should be created. This will fail, with the
relevant explanation, if the location is not writable, or if a file
already exists in that location. If the location is a dir, but not a
maildir, this will add /tmp/cur/new to it.
