Neomutt: named-mailboxes broken between 20200626…20200807

[flokli]

Expected Behaviour

I use the named-mailboxes feature to give some notmuch queries nicer names:

named-mailboxes \
       " 💩 flokli 💩"            "notmuch://?query=tag:flokli and (tag:inbox or tag:new)" \
       "  - FollowUp"              "notmuch://?type=messages&query=tag:flokli and tag:followup" \
       "  - Hold"                  "notmuch://?type=messages&query=tag:flokli and tag:hold" \
…

This worked for quite some time

Actual Behaviour

Upgrading from 20200626 to 20200807 seems to have broken this. Instead of the descriptions, I now see the query with notmuch://? stripped as descriptions.

Steps to Reproduce

See config snippt from above

How often does this happen?

In sidebar_format, change %B to %D. There was a patch that fixed a bug where named-mailboxes didn't respect %B which is for mailbox paths.

This worked for me, thanks!

Is there any chance things requiring config change could be added to the changelogs?

Also ran into pgp_replysign suddenly habing disappeared.

There's a "Changed Config" section in the recent Release Notes / Changelogs.
I try to remember everything.

Also ran into pgp_replysign suddenly having disappeared.

Interesting. You've discovered a bug in some recent changes to the send code (I've just pushed a fix).

However... pgp_replysign was deprecated in 2002 by mutt (in favour of crypt_replysign).

[flokli]

Heh, maybe we should show warnings during startup when deprecated options are used, thus nagging users more in keeping their configs up2date.

Yes, we had a plan for that (not yet implemented).
Over the course of many months / releases:

The first stage would be a warning, giving the new config name (and continue to neomutt).
The second stage would be an error, giving the new config name (and fail to start).
The final stage would be a complete removal of the config name.

I've made myself a note to revisit the idea.
