-Subject: [PATCH] emacs/show: force notmuch-show-buttonise-links to act on
- lines
-
-This seems to fix a problem with emacs 25 creating partial buttons by
-calling n-s-b-l with a region that does not include the whole button.
-I'm not 100% sure it's legit to act outside the region passed by
-jit-lock, but goto-address-fontify-region (where I borrowed the code
-from) already does this, so this patch to not make things worse.
