What's new in notmuch 0.33
=========================

Library
-------

Correct documentatation about transactions.

Add a configurable automatic commit of transactions. See
`database.autocommit` in notmuch-config(1).

Document the algorithm used to find a database.

CLI
---

Define format version 5, which supports sorting the output of
notmuch-show.

Emacs
-----

`notmuch` no longer sets `mail-user-agent` on load. To restore the
previous behaviour of using notmuch to send mail by default, customize
`mail-user-agent` to `notmuch-user-agent`.

`notmuch-company` now works in `org-msg`.

Improve the display of messages from long threads in unthreaded mode.

Prefer email addresses over User ID when showing valid signatures.

Define a new face `notmuch-jump-key`.

New commands in notmuch-tree view: `notmuch-tree-filter` and `notmuch-tree-filter-by-tag`.

Honour `notmuch-show-text/html-blocked-images` when using `w3m` to
render html.

Support toggling sort order in notmuch-tree mode.

Ruby
----

Memory management of allocated notmuch objects (database, messages,
etc...) is now done via the Ruby GC. This removes all constraints on
the order of object destruction.  Database close and destroy are
split, following an old library API change.

Vim
---

Respect excluded tags when showing a thread.

Documentation
-------------

Fix doc build for Sphinx 4.0.

Improve the markup and linking of the documentation.

What is notmuch
===============
Notmuch is a system for indexing, searching, reading, and tagging
large collections of email messages in maildir or mh format. It uses
the Xapian library to provide fast, full-text search with a convenient
search syntax.

For more about notmuch, see https://notmuchmail.org

[bug] Invalid function: notmuch-user-agent (was: notmuch release 0.33 now available)

[Gregor Zattler]

Hi David, notmuch developers,
* David Bremner <david@tethera.net> [2021-09-03; 13:29]:
> Emacs
> -----
>
> `notmuch` no longer sets `mail-user-agent` on load. To restore the

> `mail-user-agent` to `notmuch-user-agent`.

While reading this news, I realized, that `mail-user-agent'
is set to "message-user-agent" in my emacs instance.

I therefore tried to change `mail-user-agent' via the customization
interface (clicking the radio button "Other:" and providing
"notmuch-user-agent" as value) but then I got an error
message:

custom-variable-mark-to-save: Saving mail-user-agent: Invalid function: notmuch-user-agent

This also happened from "emacs -Q"  and when calling
notmuch-emacs-mua --hello
from the command line.  Even then, `mail-user-agent' is set to
"message-user-agent".

This happens with:  notmuch version 0.33+14~g005c620   on

GNU Emacs 28.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2021-09-05


What to do?



Thanks for notmuch and your attention, Gregor

This seems like a bug in the defcustom for mail-user-agent (i.e. a bug
in emacs). 
I think you will find that

   (setq mail-user-agent 'notmuch-user-agent)

works. My reading of the documentation (and either my reading or the
docs could be wrong) is that the symbol for a mail-user-agent need not
be a function.  Quoting the docstring for define-mail-user-agent

    SYMBOL can be any Lisp symbol.  Its function definition and/or
    value as a variable do not matter for this usage; we use only certain
    properties on its property list, to encode the rest of the arguments.

Other user agents, e.g. 'gnus-user-agent, 'message-user-agent, and
'sendmail-user-agent do not seem to have function definition. On the
other hand, it is a bit surprising that no-one noticed a problem with
"Other" mail-user-agent values before now.

thanks, I will use this.

Actually this is a bit above my lisp knowledge.  Do you
think your explanation suffices for a bug report against emacs?

If no-one comes up with a counter-argument in the next few days, I will
submit one.
