From 0ca4624195cdd8c78ff614e3912af5b914458497 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Danilo M." Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 13:28:51 +0200 Subject: feat: flag what you answered, mark what was forwarded to you Item 68, which turned out to be three things once its premise was measured. The note asked to extend a "passed" subject rule to "Fw:"; there was no subject rule, and the correlation it rested on did not exist. What did exist was a gap nobody had reported. Reply and forward now flag their source. The Maildir R and P flags, which every other client sets and notmuch reads back as "replied" and "passed", had never been written here: measured on the developer's index, all 317 "replied" and all 6 "passed" came from other clients. ComposeWindow emits sourceMessageAnswered after a successful send and MainWindow routes it through sendMessageTagChange, message-scoped and off the undo stack, for the reason auto mark-read is: the flag records that the mail went, and the send cannot be undone. ComposeContext carries sourceMessageId rather than reusing inReplyTo, which is deliberately empty on a forward so the recipient's client does not file it under the thread it left. Keying on it made the "passed" half dead code that compiled and never fired. A resumed draft is excluded: its kind records how the file was opened, not what the user is doing, so flagging on it would set R from a guess. A received forward gets its own mark. Derived from the subject at paint time, storing nothing and reaching no server, because "passed" means "I forwarded this" and setting it from a guess would assert something false on 222 existing messages. subjectIsForwarded() shares forwardSubject()'s prefix table so the two cannot disagree, strips a Re: chain first, and takes extra locale spellings from [general] forward_prefixes, which extends the built-in table rather than replacing it. A mutation survived the first round and corrected a claim in the code: QRegularExpression::escape already makes a punctuation prefix inert, so the word guard is not about pattern validity. It stops a configured "-" matching "-: x". The comment and test say that now.
