I am not sure: do we want an empty Fcc header to save the message to the
root folder? (At the moment the insert fails for an empty Fcc header
which isn't good either) In general though are suggesting Fcc header
lines of the form

""

or

"" +sent

save to the root folder?

Apart from the empty header case that sounds fine. I am not sure about
the documentation for it -- the variable is already a little
complicated, so I wouldn't want to clutter it further.

Incidentally, I think "/" is an alternative for the fcc line which
already works, which is "\"/\" in notmuch-fcc-dirs.

Best wishes
