The (require 'notmuch) is unnecessary to be added to ~/.emacs for M-x notmuch or emacs -f notmuch to start it. If (require 'notmuch) is added to ~/.emacs it is loaded to every instance of emacs although it may not be used in majority of those instances (but if needed M-x notmuch will load it). Preloading notmuch would speed up M-x notmuch a bit -- for emacs -f notmuch it doesn't bring any startup speed increase (if that would have mattered). --- emacs/notmuch.el | 7 +------ 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/emacs/notmuch.el b/emacs/notmuch.el index e58c51d..ae9becd 100644 --- a/emacs/notmuch.el +++ b/emacs/notmuch.el @@ -34,12 +34,7 @@ ;; ;; to install it. ;; -;; Then, to actually run it, add: -;; -;; (require 'notmuch) -;; -;; to your ~/.emacs file, and then run "M-x notmuch" from within emacs, -;; or run: +;; Then, to actually run it, run "M-x notmuch" from within emacs, or run: ;; ;; emacs -f notmuch ;; -- 1.8.1.2
