We made a new type out of go-message/mail.Address without any real reason.
This suddenly made it necessary to convert from one to the other without actually
having any benefit whatsoever.
This commit gets rid of the additional type
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
There is a command and config option. The criteria are a list of the
sort criterion and each can be individually reversed.
This only includes support for sorting in the maildir backend currently.
The other backends are not supported in this patch.
Things like FetchEntityPartReader etc can be reused by most workers
working with raw email files from disk (or any reader for that matter).
This patch extract that common functionality in a separate package.
