56 > What's your favorite thing about notmuch?
\r
58 The simple, functional emacs interface (rmail is too simple and Gnus too complex). Especially, I like the
\r
59 idea that many commands create new bufferes, that get deleted with "q", so that access to buffers is
\r
60 done like in a stack.
\r
62 > What about notmuch makes it distinctive compared to other email
\r
65 The idea of not having to sort mails manually, but rather be able to find them later thanks to fast searching.

70 I would encourage him to contribute to notmuch instead! I think notmuch only need some
\r
71 minor improvement of the UI interface. Maybe interaction with org-mode/calendar would also be nice.
\r
73 But if I were to reimplement notmuch, I would definitely have an emacs interface coupled with a command-line tool.
