Subject: [PATCH] Name thread based on matching msgs instead of first msg.
Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2010 23:09:15 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87sk7rloo4.fsf@jhu.edu> (raw)
At the moment all threads are named based on the name of the first message
in the thread. However, this can cause problems if people either start
new threads by replying-all (as unfortunately, many out there do) or
change the subject of their mails to reflect a shift in a thread on a
list.
This patch names threads based on matches for the query, and the search
order. If the search order is oldest-first (as in the default inbox) it
chooses the oldest matching message as the subject. If the search order is
newest-first it chooses the newest one.
Reply prefixes ("Re: ", "Aw: ", "Sv: ", "Vs: ") are ignored
(case-insensitively) so a Re: won't change the subject.
Note that this adds a "sort" argument to _notmuch_thread_create and
_thread_add_matched_message, so that when constructing the thread we can
be aware of the sort order.
