+\r
+I have a hacky and now ancient patch series that you're welcome to try\r
+porting to a recent notmuch on the inheritable-tags-hack branch at\r
+ http://awakening.csail.mit.edu/git/notmuch.git\r
+One general problem with this approach is dealing with threads whose\r
+messages arrive or are ingested out of order. I don't think this is\r
+an insurmountable problem, but my patch certainly doesn't handle it\r
+correctly.\r
+\r
+There are also several other solutions to "mute" tags around. For\r
+example, some people use a post-new hook to search for threads that\r
+contain at least one mute tag and then feed these thread IDs back in\r
+to notmuch tag to add the mute tag to everything in the thread. I\r
+believe this is also the approach used by the afew tagging system for\r
+"killed" threads.\r
