This change handles message parse errors by printing the error when the
user tries to view the message. Specifically only handling unknown
charset errors in this patch, but there are many types of invalid
messages that can be handled in this way.
aerc currently leaves certain messages in the msglist in the pending
(spinner) state, and I'm unable to view or modify the message. aerc also
only prints parse errors with message when they are initially loaded.
This UX is a little better, because you can still see the header info
about the message, and if you try to view it, you will see the specific
error.
This allows us to hook into the std libs implementation of parsing related stuff.
For this, we need to get rid of the distinction between a mailbox and a host
to just a single "address" field.
However this is already the common case. All but one users immediately
concatenated the mbox/domain to a single address.
So this in effects makes it simpler for most cases and we simply do the
transformation in the special case.
The `:rmdir` command removes the current directory (`-f` is required if
the directory is not empty).
This is not supported on the notmuch backend.
An issue with the maildir backend is that some sync programs (e.g.
offlineimap) may recover the directory after it is deleted. They need
to specifically be configured to accept deletions, or special commands
need to be executed (e.g. `offlineimap --delete-folder`) to properly
delete folders.
A danger of using this on the IMAP backend is that it is possible for a
new message to be added to the directory and for aerc to not show it
immediately (due to a slow connection) - using `:rmdir` at this moment
(with `-f` if the directory already contains messages) would delete the
directory and the new message that just arrived (and all other
contents). This is documented in aerc(1) so that users are aware of
possible risks.
If a message date would fail to parse, the worker would never receive
the MessageInfo it asked for, and so it wouldn't display the message.
The problem is the spec for date formats is too lax, so trying to ensure
we can parse every weird date format out there is not a strategy we want
to pursue. On the other hand, preventing the user from reading and
working with a message due to the error format is also not a solution.
The maildir and notmuch workers will now fallback to the internal date, which
is based on the received header if we can't parse the format of the Date header.
The UI will also fallback to the received header whenever the date header can't
be parsed.
This patch is based on the work done by Lyudmil Angelov <lyudmilangelov@gmail.com>
But tries to handle a parsing error a bit more gracefully instead of just returning
the zero date.
If accounts.conf contains an invalid maildir url, return a nice
error instead of panicking.
Log a couple of different error cases to provide extra
information about the error to the user.
Aerc usually used the path []int{1} if it didn't know what the proper path is.
However this only works for multipart messages and breaks if it isn't one.
This patch removes all the hard coding and extracts the necessary helpers to lib.
Provide search and filter with the option to specify more flag based
conditions.
Use '-x <flag>' to search for messages with a flag (seen, answered,
flagged) and '-X <flag>' to search for messages without a flag.
When message dates failed to parse, the error displayed would try to
include the time object it failed to obtain, which would display as
something like 0001-01-01 00:00:00 UTC, which isn't of much help.
Instead, display the text we were trying to parse into a date, which
makes the problem easier to debug.
More mail flags can now be set, unset, and toggled, not just the
read/seen flag.
This functionality is implemented with a new `:flag` and `:unflag`
command, which are extensions to the matching `:read` and `:unread`
commands, adding support for different flags. In fact, the
`read`/`unread` commands are now recognized aliases to `flag`/`unflag`.
The new commands are also well documented in aerc(1).
The change mostly extends the previous read/unread setting functionality
by adding a selection for the flag to change.
- Add maildir flags to complement a messages imap flags
- Set the "seen" flag on sent messages when using the maildir backend
- Cleanup AppendMessage interface to use models.Flag for both IMAP and
maildir
There was an unused error value as well as unnecessary usage of the sort
interface. There should now be less copying so a bit better performance
in some cases.
This ensures that the directory info is up to date on events in the
maildir worker. This also sets up the initial dirinfo for other
directories and updates them when using built-in commands.
FS events are still only watched for the selected directory. This should
be changed in a future patch to watch other directories too in order to
cover UI updates for folders when an event occurs in a non-selected
folder.
Apparently sending an event for every incoming messageInfo slows down
the application significantly.
Therefore this slows down the emmision rate, on the cost of being out of date
in some cases.
Actions such as read / unread or the addition of new messages do change
the read/unread/recent count. Hence we request an update from the workers.
Workers going over the network should probably cache the information and invalidate
it only if necessary
The idle restart code is at the end of handleMessage in the worker.
However if an unsupported msg comes in, we returned early, skipping the re-init.
That lead to a crash due to double closing idleStop in the next iteration.
Opening a notmuch DB gives you a snapshot of the stage at that specific time.
Prior to this, we only reopened the DB upon writing.
However, if say a mail sync program like offlineimap is fetching new mail,
we would never pick it up.
This commit caches a db for a while, so that we don't generate too much overhead
and does a reconnect cycle after that.
I hardcoded a value as I don't think that having an option would be beneficial.
Any write operation (meaning reading mail) anyhow flushes the DB by necessity.
(we need to close to commit tag changes, which changing the read state is)
Previously the workers returned a mixture of decoded / encoded parts.
This lead to a whole bunch of issues.
This commit changes the msgviewer and the commands to assume parts to already
be decoded
