[PATCH 0/2] Make elide messages use cli side

[Mark Walters]

Currently the elide messages option in notmuch-show.el fetches all
messages in the thread (via notmuch-show.c) parses the JSON and throws 
away all the non-matching messages.

This patch removes the entire-thread assumption for format=json from 
notmuch-show.c. This allows the emacs code to call notmuch-show with 
out the --entire-thread flag and just receive the matching messages 
(but with the full thread structure) in return. 

This makes notmuch-show.c much faster (but in practice this is small
anyway) but more importantly substantially improves the speed of the
JSON parsing. Rough wall clock timing on my system shows (best case) a
4 second time for showing a large thread (170 messages) reduced to an
almost instant time for a single matching message from that thread.

For the existing show view the gain is nice but not critical. However,
notmuch-pick shows a single message at a time and the speed increase
will be needed there.

Best wishes

Mark
