I think a "tag changed hook" could solve both problems - when there would be an additional "messge
changed" hook: the "message changed" hook could be used to add the x-headers to the notmuch
database, and the "tag changed" hook could do the inverse, i.e. update the x-headers in the message.

This would be a clean approach, which could be used for many things.

Cheers,

Rainer
