My mail is stored on a remote server running notmuch.
My email client runs locally, calling notmuch on the server via ssh.

After sending a message, I immediately add that message to the
Maildir/Sent folder and tag it `sent'.  When postponing a message,
I add the message to the Maildir/Drafts folder and tag it `draft'
(excluded by default).

notmuch new doesn't help me get the message into the Maildir in the
first place.  I would also need a second step to tag the messages.
Right now notmuch-deliver serves my purposes, but I would prefer it to
be part of notmuch.
