Hello,
Sometimes it is necessary to edit patches before applying them. These changes
allows you to do that for notmuch only by grabbing the mbox string from an
*notmuch-mbox-<thread-id>* buffer if it exists, where <thread-id> is the thread
ID of the current notmuch message.
I've additionally included `piem-notmuch-show-view-mbox-message' which is a fork
of `notmuch-show-view-raw-message' that uses "--format=mbox" instead. It also
supports opening the entire thread via a prefix argument so that you can apply
the entire thread.

Interesting, thanks for the patch.
There are definitely times when I dump a message (or sometimes the
b4-am-processed thread) to a file to edit before applying, so I could
see myself using something like this. (I tend to do that if something
like a filename in the patch needs to be tweaked. For most edits, I
just touch up with git commands _after_ applying.)

The above will lead to Git repeating the email as the author name:

Are you okay with filling in a name here? (It of course doesn't have to
be a real one.)
Also, I think it'd be good to have some of the motivation you gave in
your initial message here in the commit message.

I know this buffer name is following notmuch-show-view-raw-message
(s/raw/mbox/), but, given the buffer's created by piem, I'd prefer to
tack on a "piem-" in front of "notmuch-mbox".

Even if this is a copy from the notmuch codebase, let's convert these
tabs to spaces for consistency.

Please reflow this line to be under 80 chars. (Same comment applies to
a line in piem-notmuch-am-ready-mbox.)

Hmm, the goal is to tweak the patch, so I understand setting
buffer-read-only to nil, but does that play well with View mode? I
think using View pretty much assumes read-only operation, and, testing
out a call to piem-notmuch-show-view-mbox-message, it looks like
view-buffer will end up resetting buffer-read-only to t anyway.

Okay, so stepping back, I believe the proposed workflow is
* from a notmuch message, invoke piem-notmuch-show-view-mbox-message
* make changes to that new buffer
* switch back to the notmuch message buffer
* call piem-am, and underneath piem-notmuch-am-ready-mbox will grab
the intended mbox based on the message-ID-matched buffer name
(Note: If the piem-notmuch-show-view-mbox-message caller used a
prefix argument to dump the entire thread, they need to make sure
to prune any non-patch messages in the second step above because
piem-notmuch-am-ready-mbox will use the mbox as is, and it should
return an am-ready mbox.)
I wonder if we can redesign this a bit to more closely and transparently
connect the "edit" and "am" parts. Something like:
* from a notmuch message, invoke piem-notmuch-edit-message [*] (or
whatever name)
This commands puts the message (or perhaps thread) into a dedicated
piem mode for editing, setting up any buffer-local variables piem
needs for record-keeping/linking (e.g., what piem-inbox-coderepo
returns in the notmuch message) and then ...
* once the user is done editing, they can hit, say, 'C-c C-c' to call
a wrapper command that feeds the mbox to piem-am
(Perhaps there could also be a b4 variant.)
What do you think?
[*] And it might make sense to write the command in a way that it could
eventually work with integration libraries too (e.g., Gnus), but
tailoring things to notmuch initially is fine by me.

I actually thought something similar a while after I sent the patch.
Instead of editing the buffer generated by notmuch we could use the
buffer returned by `piem-am-ready-mbox'. That way we get all the
libraries for free. Perhaps a new command `piem-am-edit' could be added
that calls `piem-am-ready-mbox' with your suggested dedicated piem mode
for editing. Would it be a good idea to filter out email headers that
`git am' doesn't care about here? Otherwise it can be a bit overwhelming.

Here is a sketch based on the sketch you sent. The workflow being: 1)
call `piem-edit' 2) edit the mbox buffer 3) call `piem-edit-patch-am'.

Yeah, filtering headers (and perhaps positioning point) sounds like a
good idea. Note sure if any built-in Emacs libraries have something to
use or at least follow here.

Nice, seems like we're looking in the same general direction. (I
unfortunately don't have time tonight to give a more substantial reply
to this or your other thread.)
Is this topic something you'd like to flesh out and polish? (No worries
if not.)

I think the patch I sent should work well, at least it did with my
limited testing. I don't have much time to work on this either, but I
also don't think it's much work left to do:
1) The naming of identifiers could probably be improved
2) The keybinding is currently not bound, but executing the command via
M-x works
3) Filtering is not implemented. This doesn't seem urgent to me and could
be implemented later.
Cheers,

All right, then, I'll look forward to your patch. Thanks.

Sometimes it is necessary to edit patches before applying them. These changes
allows you to do that by providing a new command `piem-edit` that
shows the buffer that is prepared by `piem-am-ready-mbox` to the user.

Thanks, I don't have time tonight to play around with this, but this is
looking good. Here are some comments from a quick read.

The ignored return value above should be passed as the format argument
to piem-am.
> + (or (piem-am-ready-mbox)
I like the idea of using piem-am-ready-mbox, but it generates a hidden
buffer name (due to the leading space), which is inconvenient/confusing
for a user-facing buffer. Perhaps piem-am-ready-mbox should gain an
optional argument to allow the buffer name to be specified and a
dedicated name should be used for this buffer ("*piem-edit-patch*"?).

I'd prefer pop-to-buffer unless there's a specific reason to go with
switch-to-buffer.

piem-edit-patch-am should probably take care of killing the buffer
(piem-am only does that for interactive calls).

Hmm, I don't see a reason for after-hook here versus the more standard
call in BODY.
And very much a nitpick, but I'd like if this code came after piem-am.

I wasn't sure if there were cases when `(kill-current-buffer)` could kill
the wrong buffer so I let-bound it to be safe.
I chose `generate-new-buffer` for the buffer name in
`piem-am-ready-mbox` because I thought sometimes the user could want to
open two edited patches side by side. That is one of my annoyances with
mu4e anyways, not sure if it would actually be an issue in piem though.

This last 'buf' is outside of the let-binding:
$ make compile
emacs --batch -Q -L . -L tests -f batch-byte-compile piem-maildir.el
emacs --batch -Q -L . -L tests -f batch-byte-compile piem.el
In piem-edit-patch-am:
piem.el:1012:16:Warning: reference to free variable ‘buf’
[...]
I've moved it inside (diff below).
Tested this out a bit, and it seems to work as advertised. Pushed
(a996e8d4). Thanks for proposing and implementing this feature.

I must thank you for your patience with my sloppy elisp mistakes. I
feel like I've learned a lot from submitting these patches thanks to
you.
By the way, is there any reason why this package hasn't been submitted
to elpa or melpa? It's currently pretty difficult to find this package
despite its usefulness which seems like a shame to me.

Thanks for the kind words, and no worries about mistakes. I appreciate
the interest and contributions.

Yeah, that's a valid complaint.
I've come around to the view that in general software maintainers
shouldn't distribute their source code [1]. That feels natural to
someone like me that pulls in most of their packages from Guix (and
nearly everything else from Debian), but it's of course not the norm for
a lot of repositories, particularly language-specific ones.
So, while I don't plan to distribute piem myself, I'd be glad to see
others do so at some point. Of course that depends on some critical
mass of users gaining interest even though, as you say, piem is pretty
difficult to discover. I suppose there are other ways I could try to
increase its visibility (e.g., posting demos or info in places that get
more traffic), but that's not something I've done much of---just a few
mentions on Guix lists [2] and a pointer in public-inbox's
Documentation/clients.txt [3].
If you or someone else is interested in submitting piem to an *ELPA
repository, NonGNU ELPA [4] or MELPA would be the primary options, I
think. ELPA proper is off the table because I don't want to require
copyright assignments from contributors.
[1] I think this post from Drew Default lays out the position well,
though I can't say whether it's likely to be convincing to someone
that doesn't already share a similar view:
