Hi, this will probably eventually make it to the list, but until then,
here is a forwarded version. Please keep Stefano in CC, I don't think he's
subscribed.

Hi David, thanks for the tip.

Dear notmuch list, please find attached a proposed patch that add a new
contrib utility called mutt-notmuch for integration with Mutt. Its full
rationale can be found in the contained README. Background for this
submission, including previous discussions to ship mutt-notmuch as part
of notmuch, can be found at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=628018

I welcome your comments on how to adapt the patch to your preferences
for contrib/, err, contributions.

I'll be pleased to do so when/if mutt-notmuch is accepted in contrib/,
just out of general laziness for potentially useless work :-)

Thanks,
Cheers.

+mutt-notmuch: Notmuch (of a) helper for Mutt
+============================================
+
+mutt-notmuch provide integration among the [Mutt] [1] mail user agent and the
+[Notmuch] [2] mail indexer.
+
+mutt-notmuch offer two basic integration features. The first one is the ability
+of stating a **search query interactively** and then jump to a fresh Maildir
+containing its search results only. The second one is the ability to
+**reconstruct threads on the fly** starting from the currently highlighted
+mail, which comes handy when a thread has been split across different maildirs,
+archived, or the like.
+
+mutt-notmuch enables to trigger mail searches via a Mutt macro (F8 being my
+choice) and reconstruct threads via another (F9). Check the manpage for the
+2-liner configuration snippet for your ~/.muttrc.
+
+A [blog style introduction] [3] to mutt-notmuch is available and includes some
+more rationale for its existence.
+
+Arguably, some of the logics of mutt-notmuch could disappear by adding support
+for a --output=symlinks flag to notmuch.

+[2]: http://notmuchmail.org/
+[3]: http://upsilon.cc/~zack/blog/posts/2011/01/how_to_use_Notmuch_with_Mutt/
+
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+To *run* mutt-notmuch you will need Perl with the following libraries:
+
+- Mail::Box <http://search.cpan.org/~markov/Mail-Box/>
+  (Debian package: libmail-box-perl)
+- Mail::Internet <http://search.cpan.org/~markov/MailTools/>
+  (Debian package: libmailtools-perl)
+- String::ShellQuote <http://search.cpan.org/~rosch/String-ShellQuote/ShellQuote.pm>
+  (Debian package: libstring-shellquote-perl)
+- Term::ReadLine <http://search.cpan.org/~hayashi/Term-ReadLine-Gnu/>
+  (Debian package: libterm-readline-gnu-perl)
+
+To *build* mutt-notmuch documentation you will need:
+
+- pod2man (coming with Perl) to generate the manpage
+- markdown to generate README.html out of this file

+
+=head1 INTEGRATION WITH MUTT
+
+mutt-notmuch can be used to integrate notmuch with the Mutt mail user agent
+(unsurprisingly, given the name). To that end, you should define the following
+macros in your F<~/.muttrc> (replacing F<~/bin/mutt-notmuch> for the actual
+location of mutt-notmuch on your system):
+
+    macro index <F8> \
+          "<enter-command>unset wait_key<enter><shell-escape>~/bin/mutt-notmuch --prompt search<enter><change-folder-readonly>~/.cache/mutt_results<enter>" \
+          "search mail (using notmuch)"
+    macro index <F9> \
+          "<enter-command>unset wait_key<enter><pipe-message>~/bin/mutt-notmuch thread<enter><change-folder-readonly>~/.cache/mutt_results<enter><enter-command>set wait_key<enter>" \
+          "search and reconstruct owning thread (using notmuch)"
+    macro index <F6> \
+          "<enter-command>unset wait_key<enter><pipe-message>~/bin/mutt-notmuch tag -inbox<enter>" \
+          "remove message from inbox (using notmuch)"
+
+The first macro (activated by <F8>) will prompt the user for notmuch search
+terms and then jump to a temporary maildir showing search results. The second
+macro (activated by <F9>) will reconstruct the thread corresponding to the
+current mail and show it as search results. The third macro (activated by <F6>)
+removes the tag C<inbox> from the current message; by changing C<-inbox> this
+macro may be customised to add or remove tags appropriate to the users notmuch
+work-flow.
+
+To keep notmuch index current you should then periodically run C<notmuch
+new>. Depending on your local mail setup, you might want to do that via cron,
+as a hook triggered by mail retrieval, etc.

+.PP
+The first macro (activated by <F8>) will prompt the user for notmuch search
+terms and then jump to a temporary maildir showing search results. The second
+macro (activated by <F9>) will reconstruct the thread corresponding to the
+current mail and show it as search results. The third macro (activated by <F6>)
+removes the tag \f(CW\*(C`inbox\*(C'\fR from the current message; by changing \f(CW\*(C`\-inbox\*(C'\fR this
+macro may be customised to add or remove tags appropriate to the users notmuch
+work-flow.
+.PP
+To keep notmuch index current you should then periodically run \f(CW\*(C`notmuch
+new\*(C'\fR. Depending on your local mail setup, you might want to do that via cron,
+as a hook triggered by mail retrieval, etc.
