  73 Ah, it's slightly more subtle.  Notmuch correctly uses stat() instead of\r
  74 lstat() to check whether the link target changed.  However, mtime for\r
  75 your mail root directory (containing the symlinks) does not get updated\r
  76 when the target of the symlinks is updated.  I think the only way to fix\r
  77 this is to replace the current search (which skips a directory as soon\r
  78 as it's mtime is older than the database) with one that enters all\r
  79 directories so that symlinks are actually followed.\r
