+\r
+Well, I chose the relative-path assumptions intentionally. The idea is\r
+that if I move my mail from ~/Mail to ~/mail then the .notmuch directory\r
+moves with it and everything continues to work just fine.\r
+\r

+\r
+So I might need more convincing to move the database away from the mail.\r
