I think getting a +moderately nice interface should be quite easy (see below) but there are +some corner cases on what *should* happen that I would like to resolve +before trying to implement anything. + +My broad idea for postpone is to take the partial message, use notmuch +insert to put it in the database with a "postponed" tag, and then on +resume fetch the raw message and go into notmuch-message-mode, and also +either add a deleted tag to the resumed message, or better actually +delete the resumed message. Finally, we would add postponed to the +excluded tags list, so that postponed messages only show up when +searched for. + +Now the main difficulty I see is what to do with attachments. + +If we just leave the mml #part markers in the message then the file +might have disappeared by the time we resume (or could even be a +different file). This would be a particular problem if people attach +files that are in /tmp say. + +Further the way rfc822 forwarding works (ie the default forwarding in +notmuch/emacs) is to put each attachment of the message that is being +forwarded into its own emacs buffer, and include these buffers via the +mml markers. These buffers would all disappear if the user restarts +emacs between postponing and resume. + +An alternative would be to attach the attachments with the postponed +message. This is probably doable by writing the message (as if being +fcc'd) to notmuch insert, and then using the mime-to-mml function to +reverse the process. The downside here is that now the attached file is +not the current file in the filesystem when you send -- ie its different +from the normal case. + +Any thoughts or comments very gratefully received! + +Best wishes + +Mark + + -- 2.26.2
