- Update to 1.12.7:
  * many documentation fixes
  * mu4e: fix some mu4e-compose-captured-message corner case (#2745)
  * mu4e: fix 'user-agent' field (#2750)
  * few tiny tweaks
  * However biggest change is regarding mu's "threadiness" with respect to
    Xapian. For a while, some people, ran into Xapian database
    corruptions (I've seen it very occasionally, some people more often);
    issue #2706.
    I don't know the precise cause, but it seems to be related to using
    threads with Xapian; the mu code in this area hasn't changed much, so
    perhaps newer Xapian versions are less forgiving? Anyway, this is all
    speculation. Database corruption with mu is not catastrophic, since you
    can always rebuild it without data-loss; however, it's still annoying
    and we'd obviously want to avoid that.
    1.12.7 includes a change to make the database access single-threaded
    again, which seems to help for this problem. We're really returning to
    the behavior some older versions of mu, with the difference that now
    you'll get a message in mu4e
    Cannot handle command while indexing, please retry later.
    Hope that doesn't inconvenience people too much. Might have a deeper
    look into when I have some more time and not in the 1.12.x series.
