Subject: [PATCH 1/3] doc/notmuch: merge two sections on external commands.
Date: Sat, 30 Jul 2022 20:45:49 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220730234551.2623885-1-david@tethera.net> (raw)

When adding the description of the propagation of NOTMUCH_CONFIG, I
missed that there was already a section on external commands, with a
different title.
