I use +notmuch-emacs. + +I don't think it's possible to do this at the moment; +notmuch-show-forward-message just forwards the message where the point +is located, even if the current region covers more than one message. + +I'd be happy to have a notmuch-show-forward-thread or +notmuch-show-forward-all-expanded-messages or +notmuch-show-forward-messages-from-region capability, but my elisp-fu is +weak. I'd be happy to test if someone wanted to send me a patch though +:) + +Background: one of the reasons that people often give for the terrible +e-mail practice of top-posting-with-all-previous-messages-trailing is +that they want to be able to send a message to someone else and have +them be able to see the whole thread (never mind that these kind of +reverse-chronological forwarded messages are difficult to read). I'd +like to be able to respond to those claims with something like +"reasonable MUAs should let you easily forward all messages in a thread +if you want to catch someone up." + +I consider notmuch-emacs a reasonable MUA :) + +thanks everyone for notmuch, + + --dkg + +--=-=-= +Content-Type: application/pgp-signature + +-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- +Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) + +iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJRdrfeXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w +ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXRFQjk2OTEyODdBN0FEREUzNzU3RDkxMUVB +NTI0MDFCMTFCRkRGQTVDAAoJEKUkAbEb/fpchmMP/38dUh+Dsp+C14+E6V+ZXjFU +QoYIx92n03l7IMGDT0UM+0Ow6w1eWUSWJXH0SrgrQmqebdKUYsw3XMxumHB63XvP +cVf9pAUSNQ2tKbZ85pejV9dYLaDSrdWwfjzkCqKwa8CzGI4rNic7Rl5ZkvMZqcPM +dTJWHcwsyT/KVrX19WjFoBPrMPuULdAFPX+wHNAOI6cNjJ4s5P4hc/m7rKLsmPxA +4c2yHNObdzQ0g4ZYUTylmWxST275Dmo/wznRWGmQcgYekg1zUAmDQdu5GIObktsa +Ss0MEhs4RBJsvCRNi4Asl8KlbGkmsumc4p16h7WvqQT5OJN20sulJemHBedPObNf +5IcTJfZQljeXEXk5E9geoutTka2QpQtbSHCxi7yrOeyxDsjbsYdqcTPc15/UrWHx +eae3jU2jDjLrS8RWNRQIsTVoPXF4uorO5iro61zjcCWpKZZK8oH0JGAmrHFVc0F8 +3BxvVIgNubJGdBNcKXkUgwPWuz3TnEy4JBpWPFzebCMRrCcF9pJUAz5wTaHSrh31 +JH5VkcghB76l5Xt3E/yu/lfTwiig1Qd6r4BP/6TrOAtY67XjPxEJvveKVKfri3qG +gKnd7NgE/QpB3z7QK1qrE0VNH0Hk3jrdznBLWq7T4lRRzbKP4HqkyI1mo/DHSNOe +ZLnZmtQpRPhykNAUjcQE +=XCq3 +-----END PGP SIGNATURE----- +--=-=-=--
