Hi, Im sorting my mailing lists with generic maildrop rules like this one: if (/^List-Id:.*/) to Maildir/.debian.$MATCH1/ However, I'm subscribed to a *lot* of mailing lists and in order to keep my folder view sane I use symlinks to conflate some of them, e.g. .debian.devel-announce -> .debian.devel This works well since mutt simply ignores the symlink(s) so I don't even need to exclude them in the config, but it seems that notmuch does index each of the symlinks as a separate folder[1]. Does it make sense to have this configurable or even completely exclude the symlinks? On a somewhat related note, unless I'm missing something, notmuch is currently indexing only a few header fields, not including List-Id, and there is no way to add custom fields. Am I correct? The reason I'm asking is that in theory one could completely drop any sorting (just drop all mail in one folder) and use something like 'list-id: debian-devel' instead. Yes, I'm aware that one could work around it by using To:/Cc:, but I'd like to distinguish between messages received via the mailing list or directly to my private address, otherwise I'd be using Gmail for everything anyway :) [1] this also causes mutt-notmuch to generate a lot of errors when it tries to symlink the same message twice to the cache maildir.
