waiting tag

I would like to have emails that I am waiting on a response for to have a
special tag that is removed once I get a reply.  There are other products
that do this, but I would much rather do it all from NotMuchMail.

You can add a "post-new" hook which does this. Assuming you are use
"waiting" as the special tag and notmuch's default "new" tag this could work
for you:

  notmuch tag -waiting -- tag:waiting and 'thread:{tag:new}'

Just ensure you are clearing out the new tag to get the correct
behaviour. For example by running "notmuch tag -new -- tag:new" at the
end of your post-new hook.

Cheers,

I have the same need.

but this removes the waiting tag if there is some response
to some message in the thread, not necessary to the message
tagged waiting, isn't it?

Yes, you're right, this is not exactly the thing you were asking for.
