51 It's the only email index that respects unix ideas, and hence the only
\r
52 usable to me. It doesn't do _everything_ but limits itself to indexing,
\r
53 while doing a great job at that. That's how software is supposed to work.
\r
54 Of course you could argue notmuch comes with notmuch.el, but i'd argue
\r
55 this is a seperate project.

\r
60 See above. All other email indexers are built into large complex gui
\r
61 crap that doesnt make any sense to me. I'm just not a Microsoft Windows fan.
\r
62 Probably that would make me a "geek".

\r
67 The same design. It would probably only differ in technical details like language.
