Subject: [PATCH v4 4/5] notmuch-emacs-mua: add --auto-daemon option to start Emacs daemon as needed
Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2015 12:05:14 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ed5cc25f2dfb978192f69c7f458771115381c359.1439629384.git.jani@nikula.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1439629384.git.jani@nikula.org>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1439629384.git.jani@nikula.org>
Automatically starting Emacs in daemon mode if the Emacs server is not
running is a matter of preference better not hard coded in
notmuch-emacs-mua. Add an option to control the behaviour.
