Configurable deleted tags in notmuch-emacs

Configurable deleted tags in notmuch-emacs

[João Pedro]

Hello everyone.

I'd like to suggest that the list of tags to applied to deleted drafts,
in notmuch-emacs, is made user configurable. To be more precise, with
notmuch-emacs version 0.34.1, under line 105 we have

(defun notmuch-draft--mark-deleted ()
  "Tag the last saved draft deleted.

Used when a new version is saved, or the message is sent."
  (when notmuch-draft-id
    (notmuch-tag notmuch-draft-id '("+deleted"))))

where the +deleted tag is hard coded. I, and I suppose a lot of other
users, use different tags for deleted emails. Currently I just override
notmuch-draft--mark-deleted, but it seems like it would be just a matter
of adding a defcustom akin to notmuch-draft-tags, though I'm not sure if
notmuch-draft.el would be the most appropriate location, or if it could
be reused in other scenarios.

Sounds plausible. "deleted" is also hardcoded in
notmuch-tag.el. notmuch-lib.el might be a reasonable place for the
defcustom. There is already a defcustom there for notmuch-archive-tags.\r

All right, I'll try to structure what I already have in my custom
configuration in the notmuch-{lib,draft}.el, with the appropriate
documentation and all, and submit a patch by the end of this week.
