+No known mail client or fetch tool stores mail in dot files, because\r
+files that start with '.' are usually used to store metadata\r
+(i.e. state or configuration) as opposed to subject-matter data.\r
+\r
+Some mail fetch tools (including mbsync) and clients use dot files in\r
+maildirs to store metadata.  Notmuch should not warn that it is\r
+ignoring these files, since it *should* ignore them.  Indeed, it\r
+should ignore all dot files.\r
