108 Hmm, I understand. My worry about this approach is the following: Now it
\r
109 is very straightforward to start using notmuch. You only answer a few
\r
110 questions when you run notmuch for the first time and then it works. If
\r
111 we apply your patch, some additional configuration is needed and a
\r
112 novice might not know how to do it.
\r
114 So at least notmuch should tell the user what and where needs to be
\r
115 configured. Or better, provide some sane default which can be overridden
\r
116 in a way you want it.
\r
118 That's only my opinion. I personally would have no problem with
\r
119 additional configuration, but on the other side I like programs which do
\r
120 not steel my time if it is not necessary.
