hi notmuch folks--
i'd like to be able to forward several messages from a given thread (up
to and including the whole thread) to someone else. I use
notmuch-emacs.
I don't think it's possible to do this at the moment;
notmuch-show-forward-message just forwards the message where the point
is located, even if the current region covers more than one message.
I'd be happy to have a notmuch-show-forward-thread or
notmuch-show-forward-all-expanded-messages or
notmuch-show-forward-messages-from-region capability, but my elisp-fu is
weak. I'd be happy to test if someone wanted to send me a patch though
:)
Background: one of the reasons that people often give for the terrible
e-mail practice of top-posting-with-all-previous-messages-trailing is
that they want to be able to send a message to someone else and have
them be able to see the whole thread (never mind that these kind of
reverse-chronological forwarded messages are difficult to read). I'd
like to be able to respond to those claims with something like
"reasonable MUAs should let you easily forward all messages in a thread
if you want to catch someone up."
I consider notmuch-emacs a reasonable MUA :)
thanks everyone for notmuch,
--dkg

Sigh. Premature posting...
Adam Wolfe Gordon on here gave me a tip for this. It's not perfect, but it
works:
Start forwarding each of the emails, and just cut-and-paste the
<#mml>..</#mml> sections out of the buffers into a new email. That'll have
the effect of forwarding all the emails.

I believe that this is fixed in commit
a982773dfb6e8efe1bcee90e888f2560ad006fb5. Could you test and confirm,
please?

Many years later, i follow up on this message -- yes, it does work! in
particular, 'F' invokes notmuch-show-forward-open-messages, which is
exactly what i want it to do. Thank you, dme!
sorry for the lag in following up.
