[PATCH 0/6] Use notmuch insert for fcc

[Mark Walters]

This series allows the use of notmuch insert for fcc. It is rather
larger than I would like but I am fairly happy with the user
experience. A defcustom controls whether to use notmuch insert or file
fcc.

The syntax in the insert case is

Fcc: folder +tag1 -tag2

which inserts the message in folder, and +tag1 and -tag2 changes (if
present) are applied afterwards.

Since setting an fcc-header to "| notmuch insert --folder=sent"
essentially works, I will try to justify why the series ends this
big. The main reason is error handling: the pipe as above does no
error handling, so if the notmuch database is locked the fcc will be
silently lost. Unfortunately message-do-fcc which handles fcc is quite
inflexible and always passes full filename as fcc, which prevents the
syntax given above.

Thus to get this syntax we need to extract a local copy of
message-do-fcc which we simplify and rejig for our needs. The exact
rejigged form is in preparation for the postpone/resume/draft patches.

We could get rid of file fcc, but some people might still want it, and
it is used in the test suite, including by some non-emacs tests (via
emacs_fcc_message in test-lib.sh) so I am happier to keep it for now.

Best wishes

Mark
