Subject: angle brackets in "m:" and "refs:" in "lei q" JSON
Date: Thu, 4 Mar 2021 18:43:48 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210304184348.GA19350@dcvr> (raw)

I'm thinking these shouldn't include angle brackets:

  "m": "<20210228122528.18552-2-e@80x24.org>",
  "refs": ["<20210228122528.18552-1-e@80x24.org>"],

Using angle brackets on the command-line requires quoting to
disambiguate against redirects, so it's a pain.  Leaving the
brackets in still works because of how Xapian's query parser
works, not because of anything we do on our end.

Since the actual headers are "Message-ID" and "References", (and
not "m" or "refs"), I think it's clear that we don't have to
match the raw mail contents exactly.  We RFC 2047 decode
"f|t|c|s" fields anyways instead of showing the raw values,
so more precedence for leaving out <>.
