+Hi All;\r
+\r
+There are some style/doc issues remaining, but because bugs in dump\r
+and restore really suck, I thought I would ask for early feedback on\r
+functionality.  I'm particularly interested in how the new dump format\r
+works for weird message-ids (spaces and so on). If you have public\r
+messages with tricky message-id's, I'd appreciate adding those\r
+messages to the test suite.\r
+\r
+Things to bikeshed now: name(s) of the formats; sup and notmuch are\r
+maybe not ideal.  The format itself? The encoding format? The latter\r
+is chosen for compatibility with nmbug, but we could discussing using\r
+a bigger character set.\r
+\r
+Things I know about\r
+      \r
+      - not enough tests\r
+      - no man page, online docs.\r
+      - no API docs for hex_encode/blah.\r
+\r
+I think the code in hex-escape.[ch] is otherwise ready for (second)\r
+review; I'll probably do another review of the code in\r
+notmuch-(dump|restore).c myself for clarity, so you might want to wait\r
+for the next round before diving in.\r
+\r
+If you prefer pull from git, you can get these patches on branch "new-dump" \r
+at git://pivot.cs.unb.ca/notmuch.git\r
