Hi all,

I'd heard of sup and more recently notmuch a couple times, and they
sounded cool.

When I saw notmuch-vim enter debian unstable recently, I gave it a
shot.

I'm pretty excited, and plan to use this as my main mail client;
though I'm still using mutt to compose/send mail.

Thanks for the great work!


The vim front-end has lots of little bugs that I'll probably fix
and send patches for pretty soon. I did a couple before joining
this list and put them on the debian bug tracker. Looks like
they've been forwarded to the list already.

Next thing I'm planning to do is review the signature and citation
auto-folder and see if I can fix the thing where it often misses
the final line of the signature/citation.

Then teach it to auto-fold the signature spam on sf.net e-mail
lists.


The huge glaring problem I have with notmuch-vim is that it unbinds
all the keybindings set in my .vimrc. This isn't so bad in the
folder and search views, but is totally unacceptable to me in the
compose view. The keybindings that notmuch-vim sets for the compose
view seem to be designed not to conflict with common keys, so I
assume that this fix is planned. Anybody working on this [soon]?


I have a "folder" in my list that's just "tag:misc and tag:recent"
and it's kinda slow with 600 messages in it. My system monitor
applet indicates that it's mostly i/o. Is it opening every e-mail
to read the subject or something? Is there some way I can speed
this up? (like in mutt when I properly configured header caching)


For my future patches, I'm planning on pushing them to a public
repo, and mailing the patches to this list with git-send-email. Is
that a good system for you all?


That's all folks!
