By default, mu4e-header-key-face inherits from message-header-name; this
leads to warnings when we later remap the latter to the former in
mu4e-compose.el.
We don't want to change the definition of mu4e-header-key-face (it's
used widely in mu4e); so we add a new face mu4e-header-field-face
for *just* mu4e-compose and which does not inherit.
Fixes#2321.
All these changes to avoid:
,----
| mu4e/meson.build:92: WARNING: Source item '/home/djcb/Sources/mu/build/mu4e/mu4e-meta.el' cannot be converted to File object, because it is a generated file. This will become a hard error in the future
`----
This is because we want to byte-compile a file we just before generated using
configure_file. This does not seem like a crazy thing, but meson threatens with
breaking the build at some point in the future.
So instead, we decide _not_ to compile this (very boring) file. But, users may
still have an older mu4e-meta.elc lying around, leading to confusion.
So, let's rename that file and we're golden.
Usurp more of the utils code than can be re-used without further dependencies in
helpers.
Split off specific parts in their own file.
After the helper/utils changes, update the rest of mu4e to take the changes into
account.
Make mu4e-view-use-gnus obsolete (it's the default now), and add a
variable mu4e-view-use-old (which must be set before starting mu4e).
Update documentation / mentions.
Load the correct view when starting mu4e, so people can customize
e.g. the keymap.
Add some sanity checking.
re-enable the gnus/old split (the key was re-implementing
mu4e-view-message-text for gnus)
split helpers into mu4e-view-common
as a bonus 'go to url' now also works with gnus
mu4e-contact-rewrite-function was obsoleted in 1.4, but the entry in
NEWS.org entry, and the make-obsolete-variable call, referred to it as
mu4e-contacts-rewrite-function. (Should be "contact", not "contacts".)
Instead of a multi-step process to display an unread message (ie. get
the original, notice it's unread, then update it, replace the message
with update one etc.), we now handle that in the (view /./..) command on
the server side.
Simplifies things, and is faster (which could be noticeable, esp. if
e.g. signature verification is part of the process)
The text:
Optionally, you can add the following:
`:hide' - if t, maildir is hdden from the main-view and speedbar.
`:hide-unread' - do not show the counts of unread/total number
of messages for the maildir in the main-view.
is not true for the current version, so let's remove it.
