What can this functionality > do that notmuch new can't? My mail is stored on a remote server running notmuch. My email client runs locally, calling notmuch on the server via ssh. After sending a message, I immediately add that message to the Maildir/Sent folder and tag it `sent'. When postponing a message, I add the message to the Maildir/Drafts folder and tag it `draft' (excluded by default). notmuch new doesn't help me get the message into the Maildir in the first place. I would also need a second step to tag the messages. Right now notmuch-deliver serves my purposes, but I would prefer it to be part of notmuch. Peter
