I would find it more intuitive if it was formatted like: [database] path=/home/mh/.mail [user] # User configuration # # Here is where you can let notmuch know how you would like to be # addressed. Valid settings are # # name Your full name. # primary_email Your primary email address. # other_email A list (separated by ';') of other email addresses # at which you receive email. # # Notmuch will use the various email addresses configured here when # formatting replies. It will avoid including your own addresses in the # recipient list of replies, and will set the From address based on the # address to which the original email was addressed. # primary_email=--- [new] # Configuration for "notmuch new" # # The following options are supported here: # # tags A list (separated by ';') of the tags that will be # added to all messages incorporated by "notmuch new". # # ignore A list (separated by ';') of file and directory names # that will not be searched for messages by "notmuch new". # # NOTE: *Every* file/directory that goes by one of those # names will be ignored, independent of its depth/location # in the mail store. ignore=lost+found [search] # Search configuration # # The following option is supported here: But I might be the person with the skewed expectations.
