70 They do, most of the time. But I really like to be able to stay
\r
71 independent of any servers when I am on the road with occasional and
\r

\r
81 This might actually be the perfect solution, if notmuch is fast enough
\r
82 to dump and restore the tags in a few seconds.
\r
84 Actually, I am a bit confused by why many people seem to be using tags
\r
85 for named searches. IMHO tags only make sense when set by hand for some
\r
86 non-searchable criteria. For all the rest normal searches (perhaps with
\r
87 saved search aliases) should be the better solution.

\r
92 You mean to store nm_dump? This sounds too complicated without much
\r
93 benefit. I'm using git for things where I am interested in the history
\r
94 of changes which is hardly the case for the tags.
