Hi,

I'm thinking of how to realize the mail snoozing feature with notmuch,
so that certain emails won't become visible (in the search) until a
certain day/time (e.g., 10 days from now).

Using the tag as an absolute date when the mail should become visible
again, tags should be searchable and interpretable as dates. The search
would then be something like: notmuch search tag-as-date < now and
tag:inbox

Using the receive date as base and encoding the delay as relative time
from that, would still need the ability to interpret tag values as
numbers:

notmuch search date:01012011..15days and tag-as-number < 10 and tag:inbox

Any ideas how the snoozing feature can be implemented with what is
already present in notmuch?

Thanks,
  Sebastian
