noobie trying to find a good poll script and other things

[Daniel Goldin]

Love notmuch and its integration with emacs. However, I am a
non-programmer trying to figure out how to do a few simple things that
would improve my experience.

1) How to add to a the poll script to skip inbox and add particular tag for
certain emails -- in particular listserv emails. Any example poll
scripts would be greatly appreciated.

2) Is it possible to create a keybinding that would remove all tags and
add a "delete" tag?

3) Any good links on how to integrate notmuch with org-mode.

Thanks so much.

The wiki is becoming a good place to look for all kinds of useful info.
see:

Now I'm embarrassed. Don't know why I didn't get to those links from the
notmuch page. Thanks again, and sorry for the noise.

This is very helpful, but is there a way to create functions and
keybindings that operate on tags in the index?

Hi, Daniel.  Can you explain what you mean by "the index"?  All tag
operations are on the database itself.  The emacs interface is really
just a fancy way of interacting with the notmuch CLI, so it's not like
there's a separate tag store or anything, if that's what you mean.

Again, I'm not a programmer, so bear with me. When I open a "folder"
after the "hello page," I see a list of mesaages with subjects, authors,
dates, etc. It seems I am unable to operate on items in this list using
functions such as the following:

(defun notmuch-show-tag-spam()
  "mark message as spam"
  (interactive)
  (notmuch-show-add-tag "spam")
  (notmuch-show-remove-tag "new"))

I get a "buffer is read only" error. However, I can operate on the
messages themselves, when I move into a message buffer. 

Hope this clarifies.

Best,

d.

The "notmuch-show-" functions only work in notmuch-show-mode, i.e. when
a message is being displayed.  The list of messages with subject,
authors, etc. are notmuch search results, that are being displayed in a
notmuch-search-mode buffer.  "notmuch-show-" functions only work in
notmuch-show-mode, and "notmuch-search-" functions only work in
notmuch-search-mode.
