Since I've been following, I've seen several threads on how to handle message addition and initial tagging[1][2]. I recall that some time ago Carl had the idea of applying only a 'new' tag during notmuch new. I strongly supported this proposal yet it seems that nothing ever became of it. Is there a reason for this? Would a patch be accepted? Secondly, there was at one point talk of allowing notmuch new to be called with an explicit list of messages to be added. Is there support for such an idea? It seems like this might help mail fetching performance, if only slightly. Thanks! - Ben [1] p87hbp5j9dv.fsf@hackervisions.or [2] 20100114084713.GA22273@harikalardiyar
