65 Can you use NOTMUCH_CONFIG to achieve what you want?
\r
67 On my machine all of the programs (except nottoomuch ;) ) that use
\r
68 ~/.config are gui based, and a bunch of them store binary blobs (or not
\r
69 plain text anyway) there. It might be irrational, but I don't really
\r
70 want notmuch to be associated with that crowd ;).

\r
75 Similarly the environment variable NMBGIT is available.
