Package: notmuch
Version: 0.23.1-1
Severity: normal

Last night I got this error from my `notmuch new --quiet` cron job. The
file that the error message complains about is now in the cur directory
of the maildir at the following path.

/path/to/mail/cur/1478190211.H80553P18378.chianamo:2,

I wonder if this some kind of race condition in `notmuch new` processing.
Perhaps it should be using inotify to find out about file movements?

Unexpected error with file /path/to/mail/new/1478190211.H80553P18378.chianamo
add_file: Something went wrong trying to read or write a file
Error opening /path/to/mail/new/1478190211.H80553P18378.chianamo: No such file or directory
Note: A fatal error was encountered: Something went wrong trying to read or write a file
