I should have mentioned in my previous mail that I think this tool is
a great idea, and I plan on using it. I just hope that all of it's
functionality will be integrated directly into notmuch itself.
That said, I have vasilated just a bit on this, as to whether notmuch
should touch the mail at all, or just process it. But having thought
about it a bit, I think that notmuch really *is* an MUA, or at least
the mail processing part of a MUA (MUA minus message reader), and
should therefore do the appropriate things with the maildir.

Do you do another notmuchsync after the final notmuch new, to get any
new flags in the maildir synced with the database?
jamie.
