Installation was not a problem for me although the files »notmuch.vim« and 
»notmuch.txt« were not found by »make install« for some reason. So I linked
them into the notmuch-vim directory. After that »make install« succeeded.
But the main obstacle is that new users must find by trial and error that
they must type »s« to search, »t« to tag files and so on. It would be very
useful to list all the key bindings and configuration options.
I still don't know how to compose a new message.

I think »elinks --dump«

Okay, thank you so far.
