\r
78 Seems like a Catch-22 to me.
\r
80 The marker needs to remain there long enough for Notmuch to index and
\r
81 tag the message appropriately (which happens long after message-mode has
\r
82 left the building) so it's up to Notmuch itself (as opposed to a
\r
83 message-mode hook) to do the pre-/postprocessing.
\r
85 Yet it remains Notmuch's policy to *never* alter your mailstore, aside
\r
88 This would also invite outsiders to sprinkle their mails with "<#notmuch
\r
89 tag=WAITING>", messing up you workflow.
