This is a big effort, and not one that all notmuch users are really interested in, so I would like to not see it specifically guide notmuch development. There are lots of features that would be nice to have soon. In any event, I wasn't suggesting we drop everything to do this. I was just curious what people thought of this approach. > The problem I see with this approach is, that all notmuch searches are > build around Xapian.

This would be, of course, very expensive. This does sound like a potential issue. I definitely don't understand how new messages are added to the database. I was mostly suggesting a syntax for adding tag as new messages are added, though, not that an actual xapian search term. I don't know if they can be decoupled, though. jamie. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJLw0KLAAoJEO00zqvie6q8XRMP/2iTMPoZSUeLzdREjgcd6VpW DBRvnEObEps0i93Kw3eldtcjL/Mt9PMlIP74Pl/GTkKjPbiQcxkOy4WmzwsODCVh i3AiughJoUEVuLuf5+12o5i0lpfwNNYw5dlGC4ZmLNeiupNqJlB8jbcO50wC39Q7 7dlb0sumkZYF0kplWVheF9o/S3c9cLnqeOM4M4btt88HwBo/5A87J4LESUCw73is GChSQrt0XH8Iaab0yf9nwa//2T5zWR6LuJnU1zPlouJw1Yl/OqCqyWoNMJqFT1iB MHPXdmIFVuAktwXMB+ki0wlIjZh1YKzj7zIZWgeZQj/ANIypxfvb4jo4Ui7TfVUX kM6TpcSBVJpLg9dxsYeMhBD2ijQdFYw39tr5XSwAsePEOeMoEFOZgh+G+baR6ZsD o9eOnx0yQ15iEF+wnCUfpWzDBCfNqj+6OVXShfC2+NscpYD7q3zCt1teAWc4yBdc 8iw7bVg9BtswaVdrmDfSRWlYEr+pbn5mhJfy3mfiHtx4aPE3sZaFSlwhhDpPkCyN RBeMUuGrOBMDbeWtMeaJSY1NrfDxQJIIZQt3H6zuQ5AECPglyEEneoRkzYRDQW+3 zugmcUrlPCNx2DEURu1uMJbDlP53pgJJ+XtCL0LwtZOqI3iGsUxOn8RY4FmJlpOe MoxN1mivip1N1sMnQWzl =X0Z2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
