+After quite a bit of time (issues with offlineimap and large maildirs),\r
+I finally got the point where I could run notmuch new, and although it\r
+did finish, there were two errrors that I wanted to ask about. Are\r
+these important?\r
+\r
+$ notmuch new\r
+[...]\r
+A Xapian exception occurred adding message: Key too long: length was 370 bytes, maximum length of a key is 252 bytes.\r
+Error: A Xapian exception occurred. Halting processing.\r
