+Is it practical (and has anyone documented) using a procmail setup to\r
+set initial tags for messages using notmuch?\r
+\r
+I've just started using emacs-notmuch to read mail, and I'm using a\r
+system where I have procmail filters to bin mail by category into\r
+folders. I can continue this using folder:value for searching, but one\r
+reason notmuch interests me is the potential to do more.\r
+\r
+It's practical for me to assign potentially overlapping tags with a more\r
+sophisticated procmail setup. Notmuch tags enable having multiple tags\r
+on one email.\r
+\r
+I don't know enough about the procmail/notmuch process to see just how\r
+to make this happen. I'm hoping that someone has already done something\r
+similar.\r
