Subject: Provide an option to make thread summaries keep initial subject
Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2012 18:03:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zk4eqech.fsf@inf-8657.int-evry.fr> (raw)
Hi.
Whenever a participant changes the subject in the middle of a thread,
the summary reported by notmuch search will change.
However, the result is that some mails tend to "disappear" from search
results, when (bad) participants reply instead of composing a new mail,
and change a subject (see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=688699 for more details
on that problem, and a discussion). Of course, they're still there, but
their subject being masked, one may then grep or C-s for a particular
subject and miss them.
I think it would be interesting to allow notmuch to potentially keep the
original subject and not the most recent one for the thread summaries.
What do you think ?
Best regards,
--
