+Using the read flag during notmuch new would indeed be nice. But some further\r
+testing brings some doubts that it is an overload due to to many unread\r
+messages.\r
+\r
+I executed "/usr/local/bin/notmuch search --sort=oldest-first tag:inbox" by hand\r
+and from the 21 minutes it took it stayed around 20 in a state where no new\r
+message where printed and then sudenly all the rest comes up.\r
+\r
+In my case only 80 messages were printed before the gap. All of them had a wrong\r
+year in the timestamp. 1900 and 1970. Maybe notmuch just comes into a bad state\r
+with this dates?\r
+\r
+Bdale, can you confirm this for your case?\r
+\r
+I will remove these mails and re-generate the notmuch index to test this out\r
+after dinner later today.\r
+\r
+regards\r
