I wanted to see if there would be any interest in adding this to notmuch in 0.4 or after. It makes composing messages with attachments much more pleasant that using raw mml-mode, and would likely be much more accomodating to new users. With the new notmuch-mua hooks, it would be easy to turn on and off as well. I've been using it for a number of months, and have not had any problems with it. One issue to note: if you start composing a message with tach-mode enabled, and then disable it, the attachments you added with tach won't get added properly (there will just be a plaintext list of them at the the bottom of the message after a separator). In other words, tach converts the attachment list on sending, just as message-mode adds headers, removes "text follows this line", etc. This doesn't seem like an issue to me (a message started by message-mode can't be sent by another MUA either) but I did want to bring it to people's attention. If there is interest, I would take the necessary steps to integrate it and prepare a patch. All best, Jesse
