Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Control notmuch show output
Date: Sat,  7 Jul 2012 16:12:55 +0100
Message-Id: <1341673978-6094-1-git-send-email-markwalters1009@gmail.com>
Precedence: list

This is a first draft of a patch set allowing the caller to control
the output of notmuch show. This option should subsume the
--headers-only option (see
id:"1341041595-5858-1-git-send-email-markwalters1009@gmail.com") and
the reply-to patch
(id:"1340508470-16606-2-git-send-email-novalazy@gmail.com") as well as
being extensible.

It follows the suggestions made in
id:"20120704182459.GI2342@hili.localdomain" and
id:"CAB+hUn_sxy=QP1+OzGwKOcSYGi13Q61m4-bq+PGnYxCMPd0fvg@mail.gmail.com"

and modifies the cli parser to allow keyword lists of the form --output=from,cc,body

The first patch adds this functionality to the option parser. It uses
a bitfield to pass the flags specified so we are limited to 32 (or
perhaps 31) possible options.

The second patch implements this for the selection of which headers to
return. Since notmuch-reply.c wanted exactly this functionality (since
it wants in-reply-to headers and reference headers but not the date
header) it is converted to use this style.

The third patch uses this functionality to implement the
--headers-only functionality by adding a "body" option to the list of
things the user can choose to output or not. 

Currently, I have not written any tests for the new functionality,
updated the man page, or implemented for any format except JSON.

Do people have any comments in the current form?

Best wishes

Mark
