When one wants to customize the format of reply message, there is nothing to tell the user how to do it. Without knowing that construction of reply buffer is actually implemented in the message package, it seems that replying cannot be customized. Because I was getting annoyed by the empty line the between the citation line and the quoted message, I figured out that changing this is fairly easy when one knows what to customize. This patch adds notmuch-reply customization group that contains references to the relevant customization options. The new group is easy to find as it is shown as a result of running "M-x customize-group RET notmuch RET". --- emacs/notmuch-lib.el | 10 ++++++++++ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+) diff --git a/emacs/notmuch-lib.el b/emacs/notmuch-lib.el index 900235b..c045a32 100644 --- a/emacs/notmuch-lib.el +++ b/emacs/notmuch-lib.el @@ -45,6 +45,16 @@ "Showing messages and threads." :group 'notmuch) +(defgroup notmuch-reply + '((message-insertion custom-group) + (notmuch-message-replied-tags custom-variable)) + "Replying to messages. + +Most of the reply customization settings can be found in `Message +insertion' group.
