Some of the flags used in the notmuch-mutt script included in the contrib directory are not supported by the OpenBSD implementation of ln and xargs. Please consider this patch which rearranges the arguments to use flags compatible with both Linux and BSD implementations of ln/xargs. Do note that I do not have the ability to test this under Linux right now, but I am relatively confident everything should still work fine as long as the man pages are correct. xargs: use -r flag instead of --no-run-if-empty ln: use -I flag/3rd form of ln command instead of -t flag/4th form Thanks, Jack
