Hi Ben, thanks for sharing your setup. It seems really interesting and probably useful for many people. I'd propose to put it to wiki at http://notmuchmail.org/initial_tagging/. When compared to shell scripts for initial tagging, this seems to be much faster because of freezing all new messages and thawing them after all tagging is done. Also the handling of watch and unseen tag is interesting. The only thing I missed in your email is the definition of tag_search(). You probably define it in notmuch_utils similarly to this: def tag_search(db, query, *tags): logging.debug('tagging %s %s' % (query, tags)) q = notmuch.Query(db, query) for msg in q.search_messages(): for tagop in tags: if tagop[0] == '+': msg.add_tag(tagop[1:]) elif tagop[0] == '-': msg.remove_tag(tagop[1:]) else: msg.add_tag(tagop) > # Tag things > for filter, tags in _tags: > tag_search(db, '%s and tag:new' % filter, *tags) Here I would suggest to add parentheses around %s like: tag_search(db, '( %s ) and tag:new' % filter, *tags) I use the 'or' operator in a few of my filters and without the parentheses the query would be interpreted incorrectly. -Michal
