+The comment of _notmuch_message_set_filename says:\r
+\r
+   XXX: We should still figure out if we think it's important to store\r
+   multiple filenames for email messages with identical message IDs.\r
+\r
+I have lots of such messages in my email collection, both in my local\r
+copy of my Gmail account and also in the local copy of my company's\r
+IMAP account.\r
+\r
+My dream mail indexing tool should be able to apply tags automatically\r
+based on, among other things, the name of the directory the message is\r
+stored in. If there are multiple copies of the same message scattered\r
+across multiple directories, I would like to apply more tags.\r
+\r
+I assume that most tags will be applied (either manually or\r
+automatically) after 'notmuch-new', I currently do some of it with a\r
+simple shell script. The script does not apply tags based on directory\r
+names yet, but it would make notmuch really flexible if we could do\r
+that *and* if we could get access to all filenames of a particular\r
+message.\r
+\r
+I'd like to propose that we store all filenames for email messages in\r
+the database, not just one per message. I'd be happy to work on it and\r
+submit a patch if others think that this would be good to have.\r
