Subject: [PATCH v4 2/3] cli: add support for pre and post notmuch new hooks
Date: Fri,  9 Dec 2011 00:48:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <dcad231e374d410c95ccdbdf072dfe4da96f1d4f.1323384304.git.jani@nikula.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1323384304.git.jani@nikula.org>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1323384304.git.jani@nikula.org>

Run notmuch new pre and post hooks, named "pre-new" and "post-new", if
present in the notmuch hooks directory. The hooks will be run before and
after incorporating new messages to the database.

Typical use cases for pre-new and post-new hooks are fetching or delivering
new mail to the maildir, and custom tagging of the mail incorporated to the
database.

Also add command line option --no-hooks to notmuch new to bypass the hooks.

+Hooks
+
+  Hooks have been introduced to notmuch. Hooks are scripts that notmuch
+  invokes before and after certain actions. Initially, "notmuch new"
+  supports "pre-new" and "post-new" hooks that are run before and after
+  importing new messages into the database.
