ok. I thought using the post-new hook would have saved some i/o
resources over my current setup:
 offlineimap.postsynchook = ~/emacs/notmuch-lib/notmuch-tag.sh

where notmuch-tag.sh is (in pseudo-code):
##
/usr/bin/notmuch new

for tag,query in tag-queries:
  tag_new $tag $query

##

is there any advantage of using post-new compared to this setup ?
