Out of curiosity, has anyone considered using inotify to monitor maildirs for new mail to hand to notmuch?  For systems supporting inotify (or equivalents), this would have the advantage of being compatible with any delivery mechanism, be it a mail server, procmail, or emacs fcc'ing a maildir.

Thanks for sharing this, Ali.

What's the best way to advertise this to potential users?

Should we include a separate utils directory in the notmuch repository
with auxiliary programs like this?

Or should we implement this functionality within the notmuch binary
itself?

I'm open to suggestions.

If nothing else, the notmuchmail.org web page should grow a section to
point to auxiliary programs like this that users might find helpful.

Thanks again,

-Carl
