+If a message in new has a trailing ":2," in the filename, notmuch will\r
+move it to cur whenever tags are modified, even if nothing has changed\r
+with tags that are supposed to be synchronized. While it's true that\r
+having messages in new with extra info attached violates the maildir\r
+spec, it does happen with some clients (I ran into it with offlineimap,\r
+and filed a bug https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap/issues/80\r
+here, but not sure if or when it will be addressed).\r
+\r
+On IRC, it was suggested that it wouldn't really harm anything to\r
+consider messages with a trailing ":2," (with no other flags) in new as\r
+being equivalent to the info not existing at all. Would this be\r
+a possible solution?\r
