2021-12-28lei q: Sort threads by date of initial messageKyle Meyer
Now that there is a command for displaying multiple threads, the order that piem-lei-query--thread returns the threads matters. When lei-q is given the --threads option, the threads don't have a clear order, and --sort and --reverse don't have an effect, so piem-lei-query--thread must handle the sorting. Teach piem-lei-query--thread to sort by the date of the root message in a thread, adding a option to control the direction of this sorting. It may be better to sort by the latest date within the entire thread. However, doing so is more expensive, so don't bother until a clear case is made that it's the better option.

2021-12-28lei q: Separate different threads with newlineKyle Meyer
For piem-lei-query-threads output with multiple threads, add a newline to make it easier to spot the start of a new thread. In terms of presentation, I think it would also be nice to distinguish search hits in the thread from other messages. For local messages, pct could be used to do this, but punt on that for now.

2021-12-28lei q: Add date placeholder for ghost messagesKyle Meyer
piem-lei-query-threads inserts only the message ID of a ghost message, using spaces for where the date and time is for other messages. The space placeholders will become visually confusing when the next commit starts inserting an empty line between threads. Switch to using a dummy date-time instead.

2021-12-28lei q: Support displaying multiple threadsKyle Meyer
piem-lei-query shows unthreaded results. From there, piem-lei-query-thread can be used to show the entire thread for that result. This design is driven largely by my use of Notmuch, where I call notmuch-search and then follow up with a custom variant of notmuch-tree to show _one_ thread. However, users familiar with notmuch-tree probably expect to be able to display _multiple_ threads. piem-lei-query--thread already returns a list of threads, so it really just needs to be exposed at the command level. Update piem-lei-query-thread to make it handle a general query, renaming it slightly to make it clearer that the command now supports displaying multiple threads. Then, add a wrapper piem-lei-mid-thread that handles the old "single thread for a given MID" behavior. Rather than adding another suffix command to the lei-q transient (piem-lei-query-threads in addition to the existing piem-lei-query), I considered adding --threads to the transient and then having piem-lei-query check whether it's in the arguments. Conceptually, I dislike that because it conflates threaded _display_ with lei's --threads behavior that's instead about whether to include other messages from a match's thread in the results. Also, it'd mean some downstream handling of piem-lei-buffer-args (e.g., by piem-lei-query-show) would be complicated by the need to filter out --threads. Note that piem-lei-query-thread no longer sets piem-lei-buffer-mid because the buffer is no longer tied to a single message ID, which is okay because, unlike in show buffers, the value isn't actually used.

2021-12-28lei q: Extract buffer names to variablesKyle Meyer
The next commit will split piem-lei-query-thread into two commands, one for general queries with threaded output and one for displaying a single thread for a given message ID. It makes sense to have different buffer names for these commands, and going forward it's likely that there will be more name tweaks (e.g., support for "locked" buffers). Add defvars that can be bound to control the names. Message-Id: <20211228022037.206597-3-kyle@kyleam.com>
2021-12-28lei q: Allow initial input for query to be customizedKyle Meyer
piem-lei-query reads with initial input of "d:20.days.ago.. ", which I find useful because this time restriction works well with what I'm most often searching for. (This is a value I've long used with Notmuch.) However, what value of "recent" is most reasonable is likely to vary across users, and some users may not want the restriction at all. Add an option so that the initial input can be easily configured. Message-Id: <20211228022037.206597-2-kyle@kyleam.com>
2021-12-26notmuch: Silence warning about "hidden" argumentKyle Meyer
Move an argument to its own line to avoid the warning from lisp-mode's lisp--match-hidden-arg. (And while touching that line, fix up the indentation of piem-notmuch--with-current-message's BODY.) Message-Id: <20211224213153.8115-1-kyle@kyleam.com>
2021-12-24Add ability to edit patches before applying themLeo
Sometimes it is necessary to edit patches before applying them. These changes allows you to do that by providing a new command `piem-edit` that shows the buffer that is prepared by `piem-am-ready-mbox` to the user. [km] Fixed let-binding in piem-edit-patch-am.

2021-12-24Add user option for specifying path to notmuch-extract-patchLeo
`notmuch-extract-patch` might not be available on PATH. This can be the case if the package wasn't installed through the distro package manager. [km] Added package-version keyword, and dropped if-let binding. Message-Id: <20211221191527.11819-1-sourcehut@relevant-information.com>
2021-12-17Support preparing am-ready mbox via notmuch-extract-patchLeo
notmuch-extract-patch is a command line tool from the elpa-mailscripts package that extracts patches from a thread. It's a useful way to extract the latest patch series from an email thread and filter out the replies and reviews. Message-Id: <20211216193234.25745-1-sourcehut@relevant-information.com>
2021-12-14README: Point to related projectsKyle Meyer
Documentation/piem.texi has a section that lists related projects, but highlight a couple in the README for visibility. Cc: Sean Whitton <spwhitton@spwhitton.name> Link: https://inbox.kyleam.com/piem/YbZOh0yEFLBwVUMp@melete.silentflame.com/ Message-Id: <20211212222119.124669-3-kyle@kyleam.com>
2021-12-14README: Mention b4 and leiKyle Meyer
piem leans on b4 heavily, so it deserves a pointer in the README. Plus, the next patch will mention b4 when it describes mailscripts, and it seems a bit odd for that to be the only mention. And lei wasn't a thing when this README was written, but it's certainly worth highlighting now. Message-Id: <20211212222119.124669-2-kyle@kyleam.com>

2021-10-25lei: Rename piem-lei-show-mid to piem-lei-buffer-midKyle Meyer
The new name aligns more closely with the piem-lei-buffer-query and piem-lei-buffer-args buffer-local variables introduced a few commits back. Message-Id: <20211025035630.297598-11-kyle@kyleam.com>
2021-10-25lei q: Offer candidates for --include and --onlyKyle Meyer
The --include option of lei-q enables searching external sources that are not already registered, whether they are local inboxes or remote URLs. --only also does this, along with restricting the results to the specified sources. As such, registered inboxes make sense as values for --only, in _addition_ to any values the make sense for --include. Message-Id: <20211025035630.297598-10-kyle@kyleam.com>
2021-10-25piem: Add function that returns public-inbox's configuration fileKyle Meyer
piem--merge-config-inboxes determines public-inbox's configuration file by using PI_CONFIG if set, falling back to the hardcoded location. piem-lei.el will need to do the same, so move the logic into a function. Message-Id: <20211025035630.297598-9-kyle@kyleam.com>
2021-10-25lei: Set piem-lei-buffer-query for mid-based query functionsKyle Meyer
piem-lei-query sets piem-lei-buffer-query to the query it's called with. Like piem-lei-query, piem-lei-query-thread produces a piem-lei-query-mode buffer, but it doesn't set this variable. Make piem-lei-query-thread do so for consistency (though I don't have a concrete use in mind). And I guess piem-lei-show might as well set this variable too. Message-Id: <20211025035630.297598-8-kyle@kyleam.com>
2021-10-25lei: Add transient wrapper for piem-lei-queryKyle Meyer
Expose (most if not all) relevant arguments of lei-q in a new transient. The only somewhat tricky part here is propagating the original arguments so that piem-lei-query-thread and piem-lei-query-show can find messages that require a non-default source (e.g., an unregistered external or a remote source when there are local externals configured). While remote operations work, the current design is still focused on a setup where externals are configured locally, as described in <20210605211402.20304-1-kyle@kyleam.com> (e.g., there's no attempt to limit the number of times the server is hit). Using the key 's' (for search) is unfortunate given the command name is `lei q', but I think that's better than using 'q', which is pretty widely used for "quit" in Emacs buffers.

2021-10-25piem-lei-insert-output: Signal an error if lei call failsKyle Meyer

2021-10-25lei: Introduce option to set "lei" executableKyle Meyer
There are -executable options for git and b4, so for consistency add one for lei. And for things like Guix that prefer to expand executables to a full path, this makes it easier because there's just one spot to patch. Message-Id: <20211025035630.297598-4-kyle@kyleam.com>

2021-10-25piem-notmuch-known-mid-p: Drop call to with-current-bufferKyle Meyer
There's no need to switch to the standard-output buffer because it can be passed as a destination for call-process. I go back and forth on whether I prefer (with-output-to-string ...) to (with-temp-buffer ... (buffer-string)), but the main thing I like about with-output-to-string is that the intention of the code is declared at the start. Message-Id: <20211025035505.297281-1-kyle@kyleam.com>
2021-10-24lei: Prefer "mid:" to "m:"Kyle Meyer
The "m:" prefix is probabilistic and can do partial matches, whereas "mid:" is boolean (see lib/PublicInbox/Search.pm). When "m:" is used in lei, the intention is to get the one and only, so switch to using "mid:". Message-Id: <20211023205712.202126-1-kyle@kyleam.com>

2021-09-23b4-am: Fill in more optionsKyle Meyer

2021-06-11Support reading inboxes from ~/.public-inbox/configKyle Meyer
A client may mirror and configure inboxes locally. Doing so enables fast local access to public-inbox-httpd and public-inbox-nntpd. And with the next pubic-inbox release (v1.7), it will be necessary to set up local externals for lei. That can lead to a good amount of information being duplicated between the piem-inboxes option and ~/.public-inbox/config. To avoid this, let users set an option to enable collecting information from public-inbox's configuration. This relies on code getting the list of inboxes with piem-merged-inboxes rather than inspecting piem-inboxes directly. That should be okay because at this point there should be very few third-party callers. An alternative would be to merge values from the configuration into the value of piem-inboxes. That'd let callers continue to inspect public-inboxes, but I'd prefer not to touch the value of a user option. Message-Id: <20210610185943.14155-5-kyle@kyleam.com>
2021-06-11piem-inboxes: Clarify that :coderepo points to a working treeKyle Meyer
The properties of piem-inboxes align with public-inbox-config names to keep things consistent, which is especially important given the upcoming support of reading inboxes from public-inbox's configuration. However, :coderepo, which needs to point to a working tree, doesn't nicely match publicinbox.$inbox.coderepo, which points to another section that in turn must point to a .git directory. I'm still undecided on whether using a different name (e.g., :code-working-tree) would be clearer, but at least document the difference to hopefully avoid some confusion.

piem-lei-query-thread uses piem-lei-query-get-mid to get the message ID for interactive calls.

2021-06-07lei query: Add next/previous line variants that update message bufferKyle Meyer
Using next-line and previous-line directly is inconvenient for viewing results because the associated message buffer needs to be manually displayed even if a piem-lei-show-mode buffer is visible. Add commands that 1) automatically call piem-lei-query-show and 2) skip over ghost messages, because in that case there's nothing to display or otherwise act on. If the command is executed quickly, unconditionally showing the buffer is wasteful and won't perform well, so something like magit-update-other-window-delay should probably be added.

2021-06-07piem-lei-query-thread: Add bug#NNN special case when eliding subjectKyle Meyer
In debbugs threads, it's not uncommon for a leading "[bug#NNN]" in the subject to be converted to "bug#NNN:" [*]. I'm not sure what the source of this is, but it prevents the suppression of an otherwise identical subject. It's probably not worth normalizing before the comparison to get full suppression, but it'd be nice to at least elide the main part of the subject so it's more obvious that it didn't change. Add a special case so that "bug#NNN:" prefix is treated the same as a bracketed prefix.

However, in some cases, I find the presentation more confusing than helpful: [PATCH 0/3] notmuch: Improve handling of attached patches ` [PATCH 1/3] piem-notmuch--with-current-message: Declare debug and indent specs ` [PATCH 2/3] piem-notmuch-am-ready-mbox: Improve handling of attachments ` <suppressed completely> ` [PATCH v2 0/3] notmuch: Improve handling of attached patches ` [PATCH v2 1/3] piem-notmuch--with-current-message: Declare debug and indent specs ` [PATCH v2 2/3] piem-notmuch-am-ready-mbox: Improve handling of attachments ` [PATCH v2 3/3] gnus, notmuch: Absorb now-shared bits into patch attachment helper ` [PATCH " It takes me a second to figure out what the omitted bits in the last line's subject are. I'm not sure, but I think the subject truncation that I find clear is where the omitted text is the main subject after a bracketed tag (i.e. "[tag] main"), not more or less. Teach piem-lei-query-thread to split the subject into a "prefix" (some number of "[tag]" items) and a "main" part (everything else), and elide a line's main part if it matches the previous line's.

It seems likely that the caller wants to start digesting the thread in the context of the seed message, and that message may be part of a large thread. Move point to help orient the caller.
