+\r
+I would opt for including two mechanisms for ignoring dirs:\r
+- explicit mention in the config file (e.g. under new.ignore);\r
+- check for presence of a file in the dir (e.g. .notmuchignore), much\r
+  like mu [1].\r
+\r
+The second mechanism is useful in case of a large number of folders to\r
+be ignored, as one can simply copy .notmuchignore in all those folders\r
+with a for cycle; listing all of them in the config file would be\r
+cumbersome - and make the config file itself horribly bloated.\r
+\r
+Cheers,\r
