[Sorry if I'm double reporting this. I've tried my best to search for previous discussions.] I've tried to manually edit my `~/.notmuch-config`, and I've seen that the field `tags` was written as `tags=unread;inbox;`. In order to increase readability I've decided to update my configuration file by adding spaces around `=` and `;` as in `tags = unread ; inbox ;`. Everything worked without a warning, until it didn't... :) What happened: all my emails are now tagged with `unread ` and ` inbox `; (i.e. whitespace in tags). Given that the `~/.notmuch-config` resembles an INI file, and given how lax the actual syntax is in general, I would suggest the following: * allow white-spaces around `[ section ]`, and `field = value`; * strip white-spaces (left and right) from values like `tags = unread ; inbox ;`; (but not infix like `tag = some tag ; some other tag;`;) * allow skipping the last `;` separator from `tags` and similar; Failing that, perhaps add a warning when parsing the configuration file. Hope it helps, Ciprian. _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
