Under my guise as "normal user" I hardly ever use the CLI (I'm not counting the emacs UI use of the CLI under the hood). In my developer hat I use it more frequently. But maybe (likely?) all of our users are also developers. Even as a developer, though, most of my CLI usage is scripted at this point. But don't get me wrong, the CLI is one of the things that makes notmuch so incredibly awesome. It's an email swiss army knife that's there when you need it. But given that even I often need to look at the man page during my occasional CLI usage, I just don't want to see it get to overcrowded. In any event, I've certainly said more than my peace on this issue. Jani's series looks good to me (although, ironically, it's missing documentation updates!). jamie. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJRGnPUAAoJEO00zqvie6q8bbAQAI5fvk92ZLAfGBtkrFlKeeUI ZC084x6Y7kh5ABP++9/XOVZcUxIXJtnCURR6Lt8Um8IphJ1krrBNljI/VpphoI8t ubJtb5l0JO6jQ6JPFKIP1b76D+U/tIoUt1y/7Ct8CWCz1t9Dqk5OYC2CeV2xqSw5 fJpRhBU6jK2zVTv1AeCG41Lg8rjaPRn2GOdFysbAo2UL/THXZLyVytE60WI4V948 +WRugOp8fngvo35NXaQDW2yH6ra9tpSZoNGPVDRvwBlYdIWujXOSOUHix9SRm63N ObBIFsClUeDY2x+M0ckEDHENjNGk5OFFrkN8B11CuDplbt+pXyRamZxEzzPEQQX1 ed7zkb7LtxNrrQFwRVAJ6KeCO39ZsspdYwzsa6mwkK3nsLI4hnMULrB9wRlfqfzH fV997bwdM3kYUHHPgmPPgB+nZTDjqCVH1EVDbvRJwKDtlD7ADYApZq6jpu41aCrm S0urxcpiTNeEVFirXB0a5gOYGidn0FkMbx1vpdkrsodJDben2y9bU5rSZUd1rpWC 6DgzNCczPNDeChi0RWPf6qcHQGXc5tQJNwcXfBE29JH8gjeu8ZEjTRIJJqUY8KnE v9iUneN8IpILfrTJCnxpaPwTp6HgLPev/adsg/QDP/7ErCIltT/qJdsowRuMnF33 Fe4SSCV9hR8Xx7mFYWUW =1SDP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
