Hi,
because it seems that notmuch does not index all headers, I've written a
simple, but quite usable tool, which goes through a maildir and generate
an output for notmuch-tag --batch according a simple rules. I've
borrowed the syntax from notmuch-tag --batch format, so it should be
very easy for any notmuch user to configure.
You can query the content of a paricular header
# tags will be applied when string is in header
+notmuch -inbox -- 'notmuch.notmuchmail.org' in 'List-Id'
or in more than one header
+notmuch -inbox -- 'notmuch.notmuchmail.org' in ('List-Id',
'X-Mailinglist')
Or use the procmail-like grep, where a whole email will be searched for
a pattern.
# procmail-like rule, the whole email is searched for a pattern
+notmuch -inbox -- 'List-Id.*notmuch.notmuchmail.org'
Note the matchin rule is a normal Python expression, so everything
Python interpreted can evaluate, should be used. I've ever wanted to
learn about those parts of a Python, so this was a nice opportunity to
learn.

Could this be integrated into "afew" as a custom filter?

Probably yes, however I have no plans neither knowledge to do that atm.

Hi, Michal. You might consider using a format that might be actually
adopted by notmuch down the line. This is sure to set off a protracted
bike-shedding debate, but let me get the ball rolling.
Imagine down the line we are able to index arbitrary user-specified
headers. Maybe we could adopt a new search prefix of the form:
x:<header>:<value>
e.g.
x:list-id:notmuch.notmuchmail.org
I think this would work with the Xapian term prefixing, but I'll let the
Xapian experts comment.
Bike shed away!
jamie.
