+Workflow\r
+========\r
+1a) start out with notmuchsync -r in order to initialize the notmuch tag\r
+database based on maildir 'S' flags. This is probably what everyone but\r
+Carl Worth wants. :-) If the "--all" command works for you, even better,\r
+but I doubt it as it would store all your mails in RAM. I'll need to\r
+work on some chunking for this.\r
+1b) start out with nnotmuchsync -s if your notmuch tags are\r
+authoritative and it will modify your Maildir flags accordingly.\r
+\r
+After that a periodic:\r
+2) "notmuchsync -s" syncs tags to flags (Currently 'S' only)\r
+3) "notmuchsync -p" purges mail files with "delete" flags\r
