+Hello\r
+\r
+Notmuch pick is an emacs view which displays a threaded view of\r
+messages: each message has its own line and the thread structure is\r
+shown with UTF-8 graphics characters (so it looks vaguely similar to\r
+mutt's threaded view): see http://kanelephant.com/screen.png for a screenshot.\r
+\r
+Pick was originally written by David Edmondon and posted on irc and I\r
+have been developing it on and off since. Now that almost all the\r
+backend changes it uses are in I would like to see about getting it\r
+into mainline.\r
+\r
+The code is not of the same standard as mainline code: in particular a\r
+lot of the code is written by me and is working but unidiomatic\r
+lisp. It has also not had widespread testing so I would expect it to\r
+have several bugs.\r
+\r
+We could try getting it into mainline using the normal review type\r
+approach, but the patch is necessarily large (it implements a new view\r
+similar in size to show or search) with the main pick.el file being\r
+nearly 900 lines.\r
+\r
+An alternative approach would be to accept it into contrib and then\r
+reviewers/users could submit fixes for the problems directly.\r
+\r
+This patch series implements the latter approach, but I am definitely\r
+happy to try for the former or some other approach.\r
+\r
+In its current form the user needs to copy (or link) the\r
+notmuch-pick.el from contrib into the emacs directory and then build\r
+notmuch as usual. There are two very small patches to "mainline" code:\r
+one to compile and load the pick file if present and one small tweak\r
+to notmuch-show.el. Then in contrib/notmuch-pick there are three\r
+files: the notmuch-pick.el file itself, a README describing\r
+documenting install and use, and a TODO which contains the main things\r
+I think need doing (and I will try to update this in light of comments\r
+received).\r
+\r
+Any comments on the code or the correct approach, patches etc\r
+gratefully received!\r
+\r
+Best wishes\r
+\r
+Mark\r
+\r
+PS If it is in contrib then I am happy to maintain it (with the aim of\r
+an eventual move to mainline).\r
