the Github issue list, i.e. without any clear plan for adding in the near
future.
** mu
- Support indexing PDF (and other) attachments. This can be done extending
process_message_part in mu-message.cc; instead of using something
PDF-specific, we could pipe a PDF through some tool to extract text; and we'd
need some way for users to specify a MIME-type => tool mapping (in Config).
https://github.com/djcb/mu/issues/2117
- Include "message summary" in message information, for display in the headers
buffer: https://github.com/djcb/mu/issues/1821 It's not so easy to get a
useful one line description... perhaps the first line after the "Dear x,"?
Moreover, this requires new functionality on the headers-view side as well.
- Try to guess the encodings; sometimes people send messages that e.g., claim
they are ISO-8859-1 but actually use windows-1252, resulting in some
characters being shown incorrectly. Perhaps best solved by GMime, but maybe mu
can do something. https://github.com/djcb/mu/issues/2700
- More sorting options: in mu4e, display the messages from old-to-new (still get
the newest though) https://github.com/djcb/mu/issues/2759. Or, from
new-to-old, reversed in thread: https://github.com/djcb/mu/issues/2807
- perhaps use =--personal-addres= instead of =--my-address= for consistency

- Support automatic handling for List-Unsubscribe headers and more in general,
handle mailing-list commands https://github.com/djcb/mu/issues/2623 and

Shouldn't be _too_ hard, for someone that uses the functionality.

- Support "aggregate actions" apply to a set of messages, e.g. apply patch-set
in a set of messages. That'll require some advanced scripting, maybe using
Guile.

- Revamp the Guile support; mu has support Guile scripting for a long time, but
it's gone a bit stale, and the API is not very nice. It'd be nice to revamp
this support, so it becomes more widely useful.

_could_ do this by adding some random millisecs to each messasge's timestamp; _or_
