+notmuch new uses directory (and may, or may not (did not check) file) times\r

+\r
+https://github.com/domo141/nottoomuch/blob/master/mboxviewfs.c is a FUSE \r

+the Date: header for the times of individual files and last per month\r
+for a directory times (files are shown in .../yyyy-mm/ directory hierarchy).\r
