This adds the actual code to do the lazy insertion of hidden parts. We use a memory inefficient but simple method: when we come to insert the part if it is hidden we just store all of the arguments to the part insertion function as a button property. This means when we want to show the part we can just resume where we left off.
One thing is that we can't tell if a lazy part will produce text until we try to render it so when unhiding a part we check to see if it rendered; if not we invoke the default part handler (e.g. an external viewer). --- emacs/notmuch-show.el | 51 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 44 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/emacs/notmuch-show.el b/emacs/notmuch-show.el index 89199e8..4999b94 100644 --- a/emacs/notmuch-show.el +++ b/emacs/notmuch-show.el @@ -550,12 +550,14 @@ message at DEPTH in the current thread."
