Currently, if the user *does* compile with emacs support, and installs
it, we are hinting that "notmuch emacs-mua" *doesn't* exist.

Given that "notmuch emacs-mua" does exist somewhere (even if it's not in
the local installation), i prefer the error in the direction of
inclusion.

But maybe you'll find my revised version
(id:20171204154333.27505-1-...@fifthhorseman.net) mitigates the error
you're pointing out?

My thought was that even though user may compile notmuch without emacs
support (and notmuch-emacs-mua not installed) we would be hinting 
`notmuch emacs-mua` command to exist.

Tomi

(*) did not check...

(**) this is emacs-specific stull, less generic that other hints (if that
matters) ...

[PATCH] cli/help: give a hint about notmuch-emacs-mua

2017-10-26 Thread Daniel Kahn Gillmor
"notmuch help" doesn't mention "notmuch-emacs-mua" even though we
support it through the try_external_command() mechanism.

In addition, "notmuch help emacs-mua" doesn't work, even though we
ship the appropriate manpage.

This changeset fixes both of these problems.
