One thing that notmuch has in its favor already is that there's a command-line interface that provides all of the interesting functionality. So it's already a fairly trivial matter to "hook" things like "notmuch new" by writing a script in whatever language you prefer to invoke things like "notmuch search" and "notmuch tag". And that's what I'm doing already, (with a shell script), to tag newly-arrived messages. The only part that's really missing here is a directory where scripts could be dropped in and get automatically invoked. What do you think, Ali? Would an approach like that satisfy the things you had in mind for hooks? -Carl --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFLUNPp6JDdNq8qSWgRAhpYAJwLYVAATuItGWTlCtEzStMzj2xWqQCaA+2a 8NXuz3sh9y1zBxBfGqPkrlg= =f0kH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
