+Dear notmuch developers,\r
+\r
+notmuch new quits operation if it hit's a dangling symlink:\r
+\r
+\r
+Error reading file /home/grfz/notmuch2/Mail/findex/cur/123456789.684055.mairix:2,: No such file or directory\r
+Note: A fatal error was encountered: Something went wrong trying\r
+to read or write a file Processed 85 total files in 1s (47\r
+files/sec.)\r
+\r
+\r
+I consider this to be a bug.  Instead notmuch should simply\r
+ignore the symlink.\r
+\r
+This is especially problematic while indexing a huge amount of\r
+mail the first time and notmuch hits the dangling symlink at an\r
+early stage of indexing.\r
+\r
+\r
+Ciao, Gregor\r
