+\r
+Notmuch deals with the "replied" tag in two ways.\r
+\r
+First, the tag is synchronized with the maildir flag R, both ways. This\r
+is the "R" in the filename after ":2,". See [1] for details.\r
+\r
+Second, the notmuch-emacs interface adds the "replied" tag upon sending\r
+the reply. You can customize this tag, but note that only "replied" gets\r
+synchronized to maildir flags.\r
+\r
+If you use a MUA that doesn't either add the R flag or call notmuch to\r
+add the "replied" tag, you'll lose this bit of information.\r
+\r
+You might also find [2] relevant.\r
