silence mu4e 'indexing' message in minibuffer ONLY when not directly called

[Benjamin Slade]

Re: https://github.com/djcb/mu/issues/206 and `mu4e-hide-index-messages`, is there a way to still display the indexing message when I execute the indexing manually (but not when it's just running automatically)?

Sure, this is emacs after all.

You could add a keybinding 'U' that toggles the variable, does the
update, and then switch it back either after <n> seconds or in
`mu4e-index-updated-hook`.

Kind regards,
Dirk.

What if we use the modeline to report these kind of things?

Just my 2 Zimbabwean cents... ;)

Right. I did try something along those lines quickly a few months ago
without much luck, and thought I'd check to see if something of the sort
was already implemented (I recently spent too much time implementing an
auto-trim pdf mode for pdf-tools only to discover it already had one).

Ok, the following appears to work. I imagine the issue I had before was
probably not having some sort of `wait for <n>' piece.

(defun bms/mu4e-sometimes-silent-update-force ()
"Only show minibuffer information when explicitly called."
(interactive)
(setq mu4e-hide-index-messages nil)
(mu4e-maildirs-extension-force-update)
(sleep-for 5)
(setq mu4e-hide-index-messages t))

(defun bms/mu4e-front-keys ()
"For use on mu4e main menu screen."
(local-set-key (kbd "u") 'bms/mu4e-sometimes-silent-update-force))

(add-hook 'mu4e-main-mode-hook 'bms/mu4e-front-keys)

I tried adding a hook to `mu4e-index-updated-hook` since that seemed
cleaner, but couldn't get anything which worked.
