Hi David, thanks for the tip.

Dear notmuch list, please find attached a proposed patch that add a new
contrib utility called mutt-notmuch for integration with Mutt. Its full
rationale can be found in the contained README. Background for this
submission, including previous discussions to ship mutt-notmuch as part
of notmuch, can be found at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=628018

I welcome your comments on how to adapt the patch to your preferences
for contrib/, err, contributions.

I'll be pleased to do so when/if mutt-notmuch is accepted in contrib/,
just out of general laziness for potentially useless work :-)

Thanks,
Cheers.
