Awesome. This looks significantly cleaner. I think this is worth pushing for the comment you added to notmuch-show-advance alone.
This definitely changes the behavior of rewind, but other than one case I point out below, I think what you have now is much closer to an inverse of advance. It would be nice to have tests for rewind (looks like we don't have any right now), but it would seem counterproductive to write tests for the current rewind only to rewrite them for this rewind.

I would expect rewind to show me the end of the previous message in this case. Other than this, I think the logic all makes sense, though I'm not positive I was able to exercise all of the branches. > + > + ((< start-of-message (window-start)) > + ;; The start of the current message is not visible - scroll > + ;; down. > (scroll-down) > - ;; If a small number of lines from the previous message are > - ;; visible, realign so that the top of the current message is at > - ;; the top of the screen. > - (if (<= (count-screen-lines (window-start) start-of-message) > - next-screen-context-lines) > - (progn > - (goto-char (notmuch-show-message-top)) > - (notmuch-show-message-adjust))) > - ;; Move to the top left of the window. > - (goto-char (window-start))) > + ;; If the start of the current message became visible, align it > + ;; with the top of the window. > + (when (> start-of-message (window-start)) > + (goto-char start-of-message) > + (notmuch-show-message-adjust))) > + > + ((>= start-of-message (window-start)) > + ;; The start of the current message is visible in the window. > + ;; > + ;; If the cursor is not at the start of the current message, > + ;; move it there, but do not adjust or scroll the display. > + (goto-char start-of-message)) > + > (t > ;; Move to the previous message. > - (notmuch-show-previous-message))))) > + (notmuch-show-previous-open-message))))) > > (defun notmuch-show-reply (&optional prompt-for-sender) > "Reply to the current message." _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org http://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
