+Hello\r
+\r
+On irc recently dme posted a patch notmuch-pick.el which provided a\r
+threaded message view in the emacs interface. I have added substantially\r
+to it and made some cli changes to support it better. See\r
+http://kanelephant.com/screen.png for a screenshot.\r
+\r
+It seems to be working well (although doubtless has bugs and lots of\r
+room for improvement).\r
+\r
+One important caveat is that it does call notmuch-show rather than\r
+notmuch-search so it can be slow. Viewing 10000 notmuch messages takes\r
+me 20 seconds with a warm cache and about a minute with a cold\r
+cache. Viewing million message searches in this fashion is not\r
+recommended! \r
+\r
+Note since I modify the notmuch-show.c backend this applies on top of\r
+Jani's show parsing patches id:"cover.1328558175.git.jani@nikula.org"\r
+\r
+The most important key bindings are as follows:\r
+\r
+'z' enter a search to display in pick view (analogous to s; works in\r
+hello, search, show and pick mode).\r
+\r
+'Z' displays the current search in pick mode (works in search and show\r
+mode)\r
+\r
+In pick mode: RET displays a message (splitting the current window),\r
+SPACE scrolls the message window and goes to next message when it\r
+reaches the end, 'b' scrolls the message window back, 'p', 'n' move to\r
+the next matching message, 'q' closes the message window (if open) or\r
+quits the pick view.\r
+\r
+'t' toggles whether to show the messages as a thread-tree structure or\r
+just as single messages, 'o' toggles the sort order. \r
+\r
+Most of the other commands I could think of work as I would expect (eg\r
+tagging, piping, help etc)\r
+\r
+Questions/thoughts and known bugs:\r
+\r
+Do people like the rough idea? \r
+\r
+At the moment there is some shared code with notmuch-show.el. This could\r
+be factored out: however, while this pick mode is WIP I don't think it\r
+is worth it. I have tried to keep the impact on the current parts of the\r
+emacs code and the command line interface fairly small.\r
+\r
+I will send the patches as 3 bits: one is the command-line support\r
+needed (i.e. changes to notmuch-show.c) one is the changes to the other\r
+emacs files and the final one is the notmuch-pick.el file itself.\r
+\r
+There are some things that need fixing: some of which are marked in the\r
+code. For example the highlighting (lowlighting?) of non-matching\r
+messages is hard-wired gray and should be a defcustom. The tags are not\r
+in a nice tag face and do not update automatically. There should be an\r
+option not to use the split-screen mode.\r
+\r
+Anyway I am already finding it useful: show a long thread, press 'Z' to\r
+see the thread structure nicely and then ...\r
+\r
+Best wishes\r
+\r
+Mark\r
