I don't understand the real purpose of this patch.
If the poll script runs asynchronously, won't the notmuch-search output
refresh and jump into my face when I'm busy doing something else? And,
if I'm not busy doing something else, why can't I just wait for the poll
script to complete?

Sync io sucks.
Just drop it if you do not like. I don't use notmuch anymore so i dont
care.

Antono, thanks for replying. I'll mark the patch as 'obsolete'.

Well, he might have dropped it (and notmuch), but I've been wondering
about the possibilities of this for the emacs client. What I was
imagining was some sort of modeline notifier, like what ERC offers. It
could easily alert you without jumping into your face.
Just musing -- I haven't had time to actually think it all the way
through.

It sounds useful, but that patch is not it.
