+I had forgotten I could make a maildir without initial . just as well - \r

+\r
+That makes sense since, from what I read in notmuch-insert.c, the \r
+messages are identified by message-id and therefore counted only once \r
+however many times they are encountered during notmuch new.\r

+\r
+Yes, though --duplicate=N is only supported with --output=files and \r
+--output=messages, and it is not even appear the default there since { \r
+NOTMUCH_OPT_INT, &ctx->dupe, "duplicate", 'D', 0 } in notmuch-search.c\r
+\r
+Otherwise it does behaves as implicitly removing duplicates, which was \r
+somewhat confusing me until I understood notmuch's conceptual \r
+distinction between files and messages.\r
+\r

+\r
+Indeed they do - both with notmuch and notmuch-mutt... I just had to \r
+struggle a bit until I realized that my notmuch-mutt --output-dir is \r
+inside the maildir indexed by notmuch... So the number of result and \r
+duplicates varied according to what state the symlink results maildir \r
+was in when I last indexed the whole thing...\r
+\r
+Yes, I do need the --output-dir to be inside the maildir because the \r
+IMAP server lets me have my search results in any MUA I happen to be \r
+using (Thunderbird, K-9 or Outlook for example). And by the way, maybe \r
+notmuch-mutt should be named notmuch-maildir or notmuch-symlinks : the \r
+mutt part is just about setting the macros in ~/.muttrc - everything \r
+else is generic to anything that can read a maildir.\r
+\r
+So my indexing command is now :\r
+\r
+notmuch tag +nmsearchresult 'path:.=Search/**' && notmuch new\r
+\r
+With ~/.notmuch-config now containing:\r
+\r
+[search]\r
+exclude_tags=deleted;spam;nmsearchresult\r
+\r
+And it works.\r
+\r
+I would have prefered explicit folder inclusion/exclusion at query time \r
+and path inclusion/exclusion at indexing time... But I guess I'll get \r
+used to notmuch's logic of tagging everything and then using the tags.\r
+\r
+Thank you for your kind guidance !\r
