+\r
+Thanks, Ben!\r
+\r
+I finally broke down and decided I needed this feature.\r
+\r
+Previously I've done all of my automatic tagging as global searches,\r
+(and it's those tags that I want to switch to just search macros as I've\r
+talked about many times in the past).\r
+\r
+But I'm now doing things like a "merge window" tag where I want it\r
+applied to new messages as they come in, but I also want to be able to\r
+manually remove the tag from messages where it doesn't make sense. So a\r
+global search doesn't do what I want here at all.\r
+\r
+For me, I'll probably go the route of having "notmuch new" add a "new"\r
+tag in addition to "inbox" and "unread" and then I'll have my\r
+notmuch-poll script act on that, then remove the "new" tag from all\r
+tagged messages. I wouldn't want to impose a "new" tag on everyone since\r
+most people won't have a notmuch-poll removing "new" by default so that\r
+tag would just build up.\r
+\r
+Meanwhile, I know that Keith Packard and Eric Anholt are already having\r
+their notmuch-poll scripts remove the "unread" tag from all message,\r
+since they don't find that tag useful at all. This new configuration\r
+will help them as well.\r
+\r
+So I've now merged this patch, and as usual, I followed up with some\r
+changes as well. Here's what I did in addition:\r
+\r
+  * Fixed the compiler warning.\r
+\r
+  * Fixed "notmuch setup" to add the documentation block to the\r
+    configuration file when adding new options there.\r
+\r
+  * Renamed the new configuration option from:\r
+\r
+       [messages]\r
+       new_tags=inbox;unread;\r
+\r
+    to instead be:\r
+\r
+       [new]\r
+       tags=inbox;unread;\r
+\r
+  * Fixed "notmuch setup" to prompt for this new setting.\r
+\r
+Thanks again,\r
+\r
