This patch fixes a trivial missing-paren problem in notmuch-address.el
(and reindents the following defun accordingly).  I'm not subscribed
to this list, so please keep me CC'd on any followups.

Best,
-Karl

Dear Karl;

Thanks very much for the patch.

Since the offending commit is now reverted, it would be great if
somebody (TM) would combine your patch with  238bf4cb09

Cheers,

Oh, it's trivial.  The problem with 238bf4cb09 was simply that the
function (defun) `notmuch-bbdb/snarf-headers' was missing a closing
paren.  A visible symptom of this was that the *next* defun after it,
`notmuch-bbdb/snarf-from', was spuriously indented inward.  If anyone
had tried reindenting further, all the code below it would also have
indented inward, making the problem more obvious.

So the solution is to:

  1) Re-apply the 238bf4cb09 patch

  2) Add a parenthesis to the end of `notmuch-bbdb/snarf-headers',
     such that the line "(bbdb-update-records addrs t t))" becomes
     "(bbdb-update-records addrs t t)))"

  3) Unindent the function `notmuch-bbdb/snarf-from' immediately below
     there, which just means pulling each line leftward two spaces

  4) Commit, push, profit :-).

The above recipe is, of course, equivalent to re-applying the 238bf4cb09
patch, then applying my patch (4c74ad313f608f0834961c63c70d1f811ef103b7)
on top of it.  I'm not sure what the gitmost way to do that is, but if
you want I can simply submit a combined change whose commit message
makes clear what's going on.

The most tolerable way is to send new patch series w/ these 2 patches
that apply cleanly on top of current master (661dcf87aeb70) so that the
things that David needs to do are just to run `git am` and `make test`.

... also, proceeding this way helps getting reviewers to the changes,
which in turn makes changes more likely to be pushed to our master
repository.

I'd say just squash the two together. We already have the old reverted
commit that doesn't build, let's not add another commit that breaks
bisect (= every commit must build, work, and pass tests).

BR,
Jani.

Squashed sounds good to me too. Sorry I'm too lazy/busy at the moment to
do it myself.

I tested the attached and it's working as expected.  Sent as an

Subject: [PATCH] emacs: functions to import sender or recipient into BBDB [v2]

From a show buffer, notmuch-bbdb/snarf-from imports the sender into
bbdb.  notmuch-bbdb/snarf-to imports all recipients.  Newly imported
contacts are reported in the minibuffer / Messages buffer.

Both functions use the BBDB parser to recognize email address formats.

[v2] Fixes missing close parenthesis in original.

LGTM (this time tested, too). Also compared diffs by hand, change as announced.
comments in id:m26207wgyt.fsf@guru.guru-group.fi (amend!) apply.

There seems to be a few warnings:

In notmuch-bbdb/snarf-from:
notmuch-address.el:116:26:Warning: reference to free variable
    `bbdb-get-addresses-headers'

In notmuch-bbdb/snarf-to:
notmuch-address.el:122:29:Warning: reference to free variable
    `bbdb-get-addresses-headers'

In end of data:
notmuch-address.el:143:1:Warning: the following functions are not known to be
    defined: bbdb-get-addresses, bbdb-update-records, notmuch-show-get-header

Do we need a few defvars?

For the above set, something like:

(defvar bbdb-get-addresses-headers)

(declare-function notmuch-show-get-header "notmuch-show" (header &optional props))

(declare-function bbdb-get-addresses "bbdb-com" 
  (only-first-address
   uninteresting-senders
   get-header-content-function
   &rest get-header-content-function-args))

As I'd like to see this in notmuch I made the change. The patch is
attached. As it is my first contribution to notmuch at all: Just tell me
if I'm supposed to do it in any other way.

Subject: [PATCH] emacs: functions to import sender or recipient into BBDB [v3]

From a show buffer, notmuch-bbdb/snarf-from imports the sender into
bbdb.  notmuch-bbdb/snarf-to imports all recipients.  Newly imported
contacts are reported in the minibuffer / Messages buffer.

Both functions use the BBDB parser to recognize email address formats.

[v3] Fixes a few warnings as suggested by Tomi Ollila in
     id:87vc7vgbym.fsf@zancas.localnet
[v2] Fixes missing close parenthesis in original.
     Spotted by Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>.

I think your patch includes much more than just the above, though.

(It helps to include a log message with the patch -- then people can see
what you intended the code change to be, and compare that against the
code change the patch actually makes.)

I think it's good to include an initial value (even an invalid
placeholder one, if the real initialization has not happened yet), and a
doc string.  C-h f defvar RET will say more about how to do that.

(By the way, this isn't a user-customizeable variable, right?  If it
were, then `defcustom' would be better than `defvar'.)

At this point, your patch has accomplished what Tomi originally
suggested.  But then the patch continues with what looks like
substantive new code:

It looks like new code, but I suspect what actually happened is that
this is just the original code, somehow mis-expressed as "+" lines in
the patch.  Is that what happened?

Best,

No, it happened by intention because what is "original" to you is not
part of my freshly cloned notmuch. So I thought good practise is to
construct *one* patch that brings the already fixed feature to the
notmuch codebase to keep it clean.

If you like better, my next patch will only base Tomis and your
suggestions on top of the "original" patch.

I saved this patch with 'w' in emacs mua -- and have to remove '>' From the
first line so that 'git am' could recognize it. 

There was one whitespace error -- I reapplied with

git am --whitespace=fix ~/0001-emacs-functions-to-import-sender-or-recipient-into-B.patch

more inline (in addition to Karl's good comments)

IMO all of that can be in one patch...

Interestingly the line above was lost when I applied the patch -- 
probably '>From' somehow borke git am... -- should git am be more capable
there (or would the required heuristics pass the tolerance threshold) ?

It would be nice to have comment where bbdb-get-addresses-headers is defined.

Somehow this comment section looks a bit odd -- is it the empty line there,
or just that (at least part of) it is not docstring.

Oh, I had thought the changes were already in the notmuch tree.  Now I
understand what you're saying, and yes, it makes sense.

In general, supplying a log message with the patch with avoid such
confusion.  If there is some prose expressing what the change is
supposed to to, and giving any historical context (such as the mailing
list thread starting from last year), then it will be easy for any
reviewer to understand what the patch is intended to do, and check if it
actually does that.

Best,

I hope I got that right now. (I've got no real clue of Lisp yet because
I just recently switched to emacs partly because of notmuch. :)

How about

    (defvar bbdb-get-addresses-headers nil
      "List of Addresses to import into bbdb")

?

As far as I understand it: It's not.

Okay, next time I will provide that information inline. Thought keeping
References and In-Reply-To headers would be sufficient reference.

Well, when the patch is committed into a version control system, it's
going to need a log message (commit message) anyway.  Since that message
is considered part of the change -- anyone reading the change will start
by reading the commit message -- it's typical to just include it with
the diff.

The commit message can certainly include a reference to the email
thread; in fact, it's good if it does so.

Best,

That's interesting -- from seeing the variable's name, I would not have
guessed that it is a list.

Can the doc string describe the exact format of the list, and something
about how the list is initialized and used?

In other words, if you were a programmer seeing this variable for the
first time, and you had only a basic working knowledge of what the
notmuch Elisp code does, what would you want to see in this doc string
to give you a good understanding of what this variable is, how it gets
set, and how it's used?

One test I often use for myself is that if after I've read the doc
string, I can look at any value and say whether or not it is a valid
value that this variable might hold (when the code is running), then the
doc string has done its job.

Best,

someone(tm) could explain why or why-not this is defvar and not defcustom
(or wice versa) so that I don't have to spend time digging into it

but the bbdb-* looks a bit too generic (goes deep into bbdb "namespace"
in a file not part of bbdb -package)

Good point.  Stuff in notmuch should have a consistent prefix.  Prefixes
are Emacs' module system, after all :-).  (It could be `notmuch-bbdb-*'
or whatever, of course.)
