From ed720f4e6d18c80381e0e84ff3b5571474c92512 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Austin Clements Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2014 13:10:54 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] emacs: Simplify and fix `notmuch-mua-prompt-for-sender' `notmuch-mua-prompt-for-sender' is over-engineered and often wrong. It attempts to detect when all identities have the same name and specialize the prompt to just the email address part. However, to do this it uses `mail-extract-address-components', which is meant for displaying email addresses, not general-purpose parsing, and hence performs many canonicalizations that can interfere with this use. For example, configuring notmuch-identities to ("Austin "), will cause `notmuch-mua-prompt-for-sender' to lose the name part entirely and return " ". This patch rewrites `notmuch-mua-prompt-for-sender' to simply prompt for a full identity when notmuch-identities is configured, or to prompt for a sender address when it isn't. The original code also did several strange things, like using `eval' and specifying that this function was interactive. As a side-effect, this patch fixes these problems. And it adds a docstring. --- emacs/notmuch-mua.el | 37 +++++++++++++------------------------ 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 24 deletions(-) diff --git a/emacs/notmuch-mua.el b/emacs/notmuch-mua.el index f2df770e..b16a10ec 100644 --- a/emacs/notmuch-mua.el +++ b/emacs/notmuch-mua.el @@ -286,30 +286,19 @@ the From: header is already filled in by notmuch."
