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
