The config syntax changed recently, when I switched from configparser to co= nfigobj. To clarify: * the new config syntax is explained in the user docs at http://alot.rtfd.o= rg. These are auto-generated at each commit and correspond to the `testing` b= ranch, which is where the bleeding edge lives. * both old and new config formats are (based on) INI: That means the *do* accept leading spaces, everything after a `#` is a co= mment. The new syntax makes use of nested sections, something configobj can parse and configparser cannot. * both master and testing have switched to the new syntax, but only in test= ing is this actually documented in README/INSTALL. https://github.com/pazz/alot/blob/testing/INSTALL.md = This is due to me being lazy and that I'm planning to merge testing and mas= ter to make a next release soon anyway, so I did not bother cherry picking that commit. But I'm happy to see that there = are enough potential users to be confused by this and will fix this inconsistency in the docs. By the way: If you want to be on the safe side regarding the bindings, go f= or notmuch and its python bindings from git master instead of potentially outdated versions provided by your d= istri.
