Subject: [PATCH 00/11] v2: implement message editing
Date: Sun, 9 Jun 2019 02:51:36 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190609025147.24966-1-e@80x24.org> (raw)
Some organizations are legally responsible for removing certain
content but prefer to edit out sensitive parts of a message
instead of purging it completely from history.
We can build off existing purge functionality. Instead of
replacing a message with an empty file; we instead replace
it with the desired content.
This ->replace method reindexes the modified message and
updates the corresponding git commit in case the subject
or authorship ident changes.
A new tool, public-inbox-edit(1) wraps the new ->replace
functionality by providing an editable mboxrd (suitable
for publicinbox.mailEditor "mutt -f").
GIT_EDITOR/VISUAL/EDITOR can be used if publicinbox.mailEditor
is not configured, but those are generally not ideal
for editing base64 or QP-encoded messages.
Eric Wong (Contractor, The Linux Foundation) (11):
v2writable: consolidate overview and indexing call
import: extract_author_info becomes extract_commit_info
import: switch to "replace_oids" interface for purge
v2writable: implement ->replace call
admin: remove warning arg for unconfigured inboxes
purge: start moving common options to AdminEdit module
admin: beef up resolve_inboxes to handle purge options
AdminEdit: move editability checks from -purge
admin: expose ->config
doc: document the --prune option for -index
edit: new tool to perform edits
