I don't think this is the right approach for two reasons:

The exit code you have chosen is still a failure so I will still get
notified for a minor issue. I use chronic to detect fail scenarios.

This is a pretty normal scenario when you have a mail program open and
are auto-running `notmuch new` on a scheduled basis or when new mail
arrives. notmuch should just ignore the error and continue as normal.
