+\r
+I'm not sure if it's a bad idea or not, but it's materially different\r
+from the tags in the config.  The tags in the config persist and any\r
+call to notmuch new from any source (cron, 'G' in Emacs, etc.) will\r
+pick them up.  Tags specified on the command line don't persist in\r
+this way.\r
