With Emacs, everything is possible :-)
You'd have to do two things in your Emacs configuration:
- add the notmuch elisp directory from Guix to load-path
- make sure that your Guix profile is on exec-path
You probably want the latter anyway, so the additional effort looks small.
On the other hand, packaging Emacs 26 for Guix is a nice exercise and
useful for lots of other people, so I don't want do discourage you from
trying!
A third option is to use the notmuch executable from Guix but installing
the e-lisp part via elpa into your non-Guix Emacs. Even with somewhat
different versions, this should work fine, since the notmuch command
line interface is very stable.
Konrad.
