+\r
+Hello list,\r
+\r
+I'd like to report a bug against notmuch 0.21, packaged for Debian =\r
+\r
+jessie-backports as 0.21-3~bpo8+1.\r
+\r
+# Steps to reproduce:\r
+  1. start a notmuch new mail w/ lots of stuff to process (e.g. a =\r
+\r
+     migration)\r
+  2. try notmuch insert --keep\r
+\r
+# Expected result:\r
+Given the current text in the manpage, I'd expect notmuch insert --keep =\r
+\r
+to save the message to the Maildir even if no db interaction is possible:\r
+\r
+"--keep Keep the message file if indexing fails, and keep the message =\r
+\r
+       indexed if applying tags or maildir flag synchronization fails.  =\r
+\r
+       Ignore these  errors and return exit status 0 to indicate =\r
+\r
+        succesful mail delivery."\r
+\r
+That way, I can cron notmuch new to pick up the occasional message that =\r
+\r
+can't get indexed right away.\r
+\r
+# Actual result:\r
+notmuch insert --keep fails with exit code 1 due to the inability to get =\r
+\r
+db access.\r
+\r
+# Context:\r
+I've switched to a setup with postfix, where notmuch insert --keep is =\r
+\r
+called by /local/, postfix's local delivery daemon, via a pipe in =\r
+\r
+.forward. Local treats a non-zero exit code as a 5.3.x status code and =\r
+\r
+sends a bounce to the sender.\r
+\r
+I had a short chat with j4ni on #notmuch, where he said:\r
+< j4ni> Sagi: oh bummer, we try to open the db first, and bail out =\r
+\r
+early. we should change the order of that (at least with --keep).\r
+\r
+Thanks for developing notmuch.\r
+\r
+best regards, Maarten Aertsen\r
