+This might or might not be considered a bug, or at least it might just\r
+be wishlist severity, but in my case, I have\r
+\r
+ path=/home/rlb/notmuch\r
+\r
+and notmuch contained:\r
+\r
+ /home/rlb/notmuch/.notmuch\r
+ /home/rlb/notmuch/Maildir -> /home/Maildir\r
+\r
+I arranged things like that so I could easily drop other mail-ish trees\r
+into notmuch/ if I liked, and also so that I wouldn't have to worry\r
+about the fact that maildir++ is going to name the directory for the\r
+notmuch list's folder ".notmuch". However, I outsmarted myself because\r
+notmuch ignored both "[path]/.notmuch", and "[path]/Maildir/.notmuch".\r
+\r
+Though this isn't a critical problem for me. For now, I just rewrote my\r
+procmail rules and renamed the directory to .notmuchmail.\r
+\r
+Hope this helps\r
