I don't care if notmuch would somehow manipulate mail, but at least,
there has to be an option to avoid that.  I use it only as indexer and
search utility, and wrote some custom code to jump from notmuch buffers
to the right message in Gnus.  Notmuch indexes the mails directly in the
mail storage of my local IMAP server, which is not maildir, and I'm
pretty sure, my IMAP server wouldn't like someone modifying files in its
guts.

Bye,
Tassilo
