There has been not much enthusiasm from the notmuch developers for this
because those are typically warnings of misconfigured mail delivery
systems. There is also the possibility of ignoring specific files (see
notmuch-config(5)).

A feature request for some improvement of those messages is
noted in the thread at id:87imvc5pvg.fsf@ra.horus-it.com. I'd have to
re-read the entire thread to be sure, but I think the idea was to change
Note to Warning, which might not be an improvement for you.
