--enable-filters not behaving as expected about afew HOT 4 OPEN

Defining the class in a Python file like below doesn't work either.

@register_filter
class AllFilter(Filter):
    message = 'Running on all messages (allegedly)'
    tags_blacklist = "new"

Hey @xaltsc ,
welcome to the project.

the aim of using it not on new messages, but only on old messages

This can be done, by using a notmuch query (https://www.mankier.com/7/notmuch-search-terms#Date_and_Time_Search),
like:

# Select only the last year mails
$ afew --tag date:2Y..1Y

Defining the class in a Python file like below doesn't work either.

I suppose that's because it should be defined in the config file.

Please copy you config, that we can check it, try to call you filter without -R or -T but only notmuch query,
also please copy a verbose output (relevant part) of the afew call.

Old bug, but probably same root cause as I just encountered: selecting filters with -e does not seem to take the options from config into account. This is unfortunate if you want to run a newly configured filter on old e-mails.

And sure enough this is ussue #40 which I even commented on back then ... Oh well. I guess I don't need -e often, but when I do, I fall into the config trap.
