Subject: [PATCH b4 v2 08/44] review-tui: keep post-send bookkeeping out of the send error path
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 23:58:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260731-work-b4-editor-branch-guard-v2-8-243fd19d322d@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260731-work-b4-editor-branch-guard-v2-0-243fd19d322d@kernel.org>
Sending a thank-you ran the SMTP handoff and all the bookkeeping after
it in one try whose handler says "Send failed", telling the maintainer
to resend a message that is already out. Keep only the SMTP call under
that handler. The bookkeeping gets its own, which must catch because
this runs from a screen callback.
send_mail() reports a dry run with a count of zero rather than None,
so --email-dry-run fell through and marked the series thanked and
archived it. Nothing went out, so record nothing.
Also mark the thank-you as read at send time via the shared helper.
