notmuch complains about absolute paths if / is used as the folder. Look
at function `notmuch-maildir-add-notmuch-insert-style-fcc-header' in
notmuch-maildir-fcc.el.

Setting notmuch-fcc-dirs to "\"\"" fails, if that's what you are asking.

I also tried "." as the folder. This works, but if I search using
`notmuch search --output=files ...', the filename is of the form
"database.path/./cur/some.mail.file". This is not so clean.

I can contribute this patch. Shall I make it such that if the folder
part of `notmuch-fcc-dirs' is an empty string, then `notmuch insert' is
called without a `--folder=' argument?
