+[notmuch][] is a clean mail indexer.  You know you got an email from
+someone with their current phone number, but can't remember where you
+put it?  Notmuch to the rescue:
+
+    $ notmuch show from:jdoe@example.com home phone
+    message{ id:DF741236-…@example.com … filename:/home/you/mail/…
+
+    header{
+    John Doe <jdoe@example.com> (October 04) (inbox)
+    Subject: new contact info
+    From: John Doe <jdoe@example.com>
+    To: You <you@big.edu>

+[[Gentoo]] installation is simple:
+
+    $ emerge -av notmuch
+    $ notmuch setup
+    (interactive creation of ~/.notmuch-config)
+    $ notmuch new
+    (initial indexing)
+
+When you want to update the index, just run `notmuch new` again.  You
+can get fancy with [[offlineimap]] hooks:
+
+    [Account Upsilon]
+    postsynchook = notmuch new
+
+but I just have a Bash alias in my [[dotfiles]] along the lines of
+
+    alias offlineimap-in='offlineimap && rm -f ~/mail/Junk/* && notmuch new'
+
+You can also get fancy with [mutt integration][mutt], but I just
+`grep` the search results on the command line to get what I want.
+
+P.S.  I'm cleaning out my backlog of half-completed blog posts today,
+can you tell?
