Hi Vagrant, thank you for this bug report and patch! I'm not myself a notmuch-emacs user, but I've stumbled upon the exact problem you're trying to solve here myself (having to ping pong between F8-search and F9-reconstruction of threads), I just didn't know what the Emacs interface was doing about this :-) About your patch: > I've implemented a proof-of-concept patch that seems to do what I > want. It could probably be implemented a little cleaner as options to > search or thread I've no substantial objections to your patch (only minor nitpicking here and there, which I could fix myself). What I wonder about is what would be the best Mutt user interface for this feature, and I could use some real user (= you :-), or Emacs users explaining how they do that in their world) feedback about that. In particular: - do you want to have both thread-full and thread-less searches available from Mutt? (my answer here is yes, because I can easily imagine cases in which doing thread-full searches only will degenerate in bloated answers - would you like to have only one search keybinding + the ability to set a default about whether THE search is thread-less/full + the ability to override it at invocation-time? (implementing it won't be entirely trivial because Mutt's macro language is kinda limited in this respect, but I can think about something) TIA, Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli . . . . . . . z...@upsilon.cc . . . . o . . . o . o Maître de conférences . . . . . http://upsilon.cc/zack . . . o . . . o o Former Debian Project Leader . . @zack on identi.ca . . o o o . . . o . « the first rule of tautology club is the first rule of tautology club »
