This can be configured with the variable notmuch-fcc-dirs,
eg. disable it with:  (setq notmuch-fcc-dirs nil)

For this to be possible, "notmuch new" needs the ability to selectively
index individual files/folders, which it currently does not.

See this (non-)discussion:

No idea how this works since I don't follow Jameson's crypto branch,
but it's probably not a good idea for this use case since (I presume)
the indicator will become permanently lodged in the content of the
mail, which isn't where highly volatile metadata belongs.
