I don't mean to reduce Notmuch usability to get rid of a few unwanted messages on stderr. What I suggest is to consider all files outside of "cur" and "new" to be legitimate non-mail files by default. If Notmuch chooses to inspect them and detects valid messages, then fine, but the default assumption should be non-mail. Think about how the files get there. You manually dumping some *.eml files in a directory is not exactly typical, IMO. ;-) I expect that in the majority of cases there is some MTA or fetchmail-like process storing mail files in a Maildir structure (flat, tree, or mixed like Dovecot does). I think that altering Notmuch's expectations about files outside of well-known subdirectories should be possible without sacrificing its flexibility. -Ralph _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
