I could not find it in the docs (looked wiki mainly) but one of the principles notmuch currently operates that the *contents* of the email files it reads are not ever modified. i.e. the email files are read-only from notmuch (cli) point of view. I don't think this is going to change in pure notmuch cli... I personally find this feature specially handy as I store my emails to files named by the md5sum of the file content -- I can check integrity by the files easily if those are never modified. Example poll "log" at the end of this mail to show my usage in action...
