+This seems a little awkward to me, too, though perhaps it's the best\r
+way. Other approaches to consider include accepting a list for\r
+notmuch-poll-script (e.g., ("notmuch" "new")) or leaving it as a\r
+string but treating it as a shell command so "notmuch new" would Just\r
+Work. Personally, I think the latter is the most intuitive, but it\r
+would be worth looking at how other customizable external commands are\r
+done in Emacs.\r
+\r
+A function seems powerful, but also like overkill. Can you give a use\r
+case for a function that wouldn't be more easily solved by one of the\r
+above approaches?\r
