I just upgraded to 0.23 and tried out the Fcc handling using notmuch- insert. I think this is a significant improvement and I'm excited to use it. I have it working successfully for my use case now, but it did require one workaround that I didn't expect and that seems somewhat fragile.
The issue is that I'm synchronizing with Gmail and I'd like my sent mail to be synchronized too. Therefore I have to insert into the directory Gmail expects, which is "[Gmail]/Sent Mail". Notice the space in the directory name. I was able to make this work by setting notmuch-fcc-dirs to: "\"[Gmail]/Sent Mail\" +sent -inbox -unread" This works because the Fcc handling constructs a shell command to run by just appending the notmuch-fcc-dirs value to (in the simple case) "notmuch-insert --folder=", so the extra double quotes in my notmuch- fcc-dirs value quote things appropriately at the shell level. While this works, depending on passing through shell quoting seems very fragile. Changes in the implementation could break this solution without it being obvious why. It seems like it would be better if the notmuch-fcc-dirs value could be something like: ("[Gmail]/Sent Mail" "+sent" "-inbox" "-unread") Then the code could generate the shell command with appropriate quoting. I took a quick look at implementing this but it looked more complicated then I had time to invested right now. I thought it would be good to get the issue out for discussion ASAP since this new functionality was just released. Cheers!
