So if this a > feature you're interested in, what specifically are you looking for? I actually have a patch in my queue that implements a form of this, in two ways. By allowing the "field" to be a function that gets called with the message property and returns a string, and by allowing the format string to be a function that takes the value of the field and further formats it. This is the relevant patch with simple examples in the documentation: https://jao.io/cgit/notmuch/commit/?h=tree-result-format&id=0d7d909aa8bc4fb8e5ab80f93bc397fbed666761 and this is an example of how i use it to have a marker in my result lists that tells me if i'm the recipient of the displayed email and to trunctate the subject to a maximum length: (setq notmuch-tree-result-format '(("date" . "%12s ") ("authors" . "%-35s") (jao-notmuch-msg-ticks) ("subject" . jao-notmuch-truncate) ("tags" . " (%s)"))) (defun jao-notmuch-msg-ticks (msg) (let ((headers (plist-get msg :headers))) (cond ((string-match-p jao-mails-regexp (or (plist-get headers :To) "")) (propertize " »" 'face 'notmuch-tree-match-tree-face)) ((string-match-p jao-mails-regexp (or (plist-get headers :Cc) "")) (propertize " ¬" 'face 'notmuch-tree-match-tree-face)) (t " ")))) (defun jao-notmuch-truncate (x) (truncate-string-to-width (format "%-102s" x) 102 nil nil t)) what do you think? cheers, jao -- I never lose sight of the fact that just being is fun. -Katharine Hepburn, actress (1907-2003) _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list -- notmuch@notmuchmail.org To unsubscribe send an email to notmuch-leave@notmuchmail.org
