  78 Would "notmuch cat" be any different to "notmuch show" in this case?\r
  79 What happens if you say "notmuch cat something" and multiple messages\r
  80 match (eg, an id: for a mail that you both sent (Mail/.sent/cur/12345)\r
  81 and received (Mail/.Lists.notmuch/cur/12346))?\r
  82 \r
  83 Maybe notmuch show should be able to deal with all these things, and\r
  84 notmuch cat could be an alias for something like:\r
  85 \r
  86     notmuch show --format=3Dmbox --show-duplicate-files $SPEC\r
  87 \r
  88 ?\r
  89 \r
  90 > should we extend this to something generic that allows remote\r
  91 > specifications?\r
  92 > URI:file/path/to/local/file\r
  93 > URI:ssh/user@host/path/to/file\r
  94 > URI:git/user@host/path/to/file\r
  95 \r
  96 You could already do that by using FUSE filesystems to mount your\r
  97 remote mail dirs under those paths, without having to teach notmuch\r
  98 about those protocols, as long as you still have the Xapian database\r
  99 local.\r
 100 \r
 101 If the Xapian database is remote, you need to invoke "ssh $USER@$HOST\r
 102 notmuch" (or similar) instead of "notmuch", but the "cat" patch should\r
 103 be enough to make that work right.\r
 104 \r
 105 Otherwise, wouldn't you be better off just having this be something\r
 106 for the database::path setting in .notmuch-config? So you say:\r
 107 \r
 108    [database]\r
 109    path=3D/home/aj/Mail\r
 110 \r
 111 or\r
 112 \r
 113    [database]\r
 114    path=3D/home/aj/Mail/.git\r
 115    format=3Dgit\r
 116 \r
 117 or\r
 118 \r
 119    [database]\r
 120    # multiple backends\r
 121    path=3D/home/aj/Mail\r
 122    path=3Dgit:///home/aj/OldMail.git\r
 123 \r
 124 and have filename: just serve as a unique id that the database knows\r
 125 how to convert to the contents of the file?\r
 126 \r
 127 At most (afaics) maybe you'd want to say something like:\r
 128 \r
 129     [database]\r
 130     path=3D/home/aj/Mail\r
 131     path.old=3Dgit:///home/aj/OldMail.git\r
 132 \r
 133 so that any filename starting with "old/" has the "old/" trimmed and\r
 134 gets passed to the git backend, while the rest go to the default file\r
 135 backend.\r
 136 \r
 137 Cheers,\r
