66 If procmail is delivering one mail at a time (without parallerism) and
\r
67 notmuch new is executed after each email delivered one could try
\r
69 * put desired tags into environment (export NEW_TAGS='+foo +bar')
\r
70 * execute notmuch new
\r
71 * use the environment variables in post-new hook
\r
72 (notmuch tags $NEW_TAGS -new tag:new)
\r
74 The risk with this approach (when not recording message-id) is that there
\r
75 ie not just one new mail (with 'new' tag) delivered...
\r
77 Then I sidedtacked to... wouldn't something like
\r
78 notmuch new +<tags> -<tags> [path/to/filename]
\r
79 be so cool... ;) (yes, so non-trivial...)
