Cannot use gnus-based view with old view loaded; restart emacs about mu4e-views

[lordpretzel]

Hi,

there are some bugs with using it with 1.5.x currently that I need to fix since I have not move to 1.5.x yet.

[lordpretzel]

I've just updated my docker test environment to include the new 1.6.0 release of mu which is a start. That will enable me to work on fixing the bugs with the new release.

[lordpretzel]

ok, with a running 1.6 version I was able to debug and fix this. Hopefully there are no breaking changes from 1.5.14 to 1.6.0. Please let me know whether this works with the newest mu4e-views.el from the master branch (typically takes a few hours to show up in melpa).

[zw963]

I tested it use master f3f454c.

because this is my first time use this package, following is some question.(not sure if issue)

It's seem like works when i select to use html method. but

1. After i read one email, it can't be marked as read automatically as default way.
2. I often use SPACE key to read email, and when i reach the end of current email, it will skip to next email automatically, but it not works.

[lordpretzel]

• about 2), this functionality is currently not implemented for the html view. Can you put in an issue for an enhancement. This is probably not too hard (wrapping whatever SPACE is bound too) as long is there is a way in xwidgets to detect that we are at the bottom of the buffer

• about 1), I need some more information: what is your environment and how are you opening the emails / moving between emails. Opening an email should mark it as read.

... also may be good to update the mu4e 1.6.1 release

[zw963]

Yes, i use 1.6.1

* about 1), I need some more information: what is your environment and how are you opening the emails / moving between emails. Opening an email should mark it as read.

I use Arch linux, self-compiled emacs 27.2,

This is my config about mu4e and plugins.

I use RET(return) to view email, and then q to quit to email list menu.

I thought mu4e-views have some bug

after i (require 'mu4e-view), which cause when i press RET on a email, the cursor can't skip to the email body automatially.
if not require it, works as expected.

[lordpretzel]

you mean (require 'mu4e-views)?

Note that mu4e-views has a settings that controls which buffer get focused you end up when opening an email:

• mu4e-views-next-previous-message-behaviour - per default mu4e switches from the headers window to the view window once an email is opened, e.g., by pressing n. This option customizes this behavior:
  • always-switch-to-headers - always switch back the headers window
  • always-switch-to-view - always switch back the view window (default behavior of mu4e)
  • stick-to-current-window - stay in the current window (headers or views)

Note also the xwidgets windows do not have a cursor (or did you just mean that the xwidgets window showing the message does not get focus?)

[zw963]

after i set mu4e-views-next-previous-message-behaviour to always-switch-to-view, it works as before.

but, as i describe before, after read done email, and press q to quit to headers view, the opened email not
be marked as read.

[zw963]

Note also the xwidgets windows do not have a cursor (or did you just mean that the xwidgets window showing the message does not get focus?)

In fact, it focused, but no cursor, anyway, the issue is, i read done email, it should be mark as read.
