I have been researching SugarCRM and other applications +looking for tag-based mailing without success and when I heard of Mutt +and NotMuch I became hopeful again. + +Please tell me if this would be possible with NotMuch + Mutt or +something else: + +1. I tag incoming messages with any number of arbitrary tags, and these +get assigned not just to that specific e-mail message, but also to the +contact (i.e. email address) behind it. +2. I decide I have a message to send to every person that has tag A, B, +D, F, and Z, and I select those and the e-mail client allows me to +e-mail my message to every contact that has all of those tags. + +I assume there is no e-mail client that is able to do this today, is +this correct? + +Could NotMuch do this in combination with Mutt on Gnome Terminal or +Thunderbird on Gnome? + +I am not a developer but I might be able to get volunteer help if I know +what are the pieces that are most likely to work out into a nice looking +puzzle. By that I mean, that I need to know if I should ask for help +from someone that knows C, Python, PHP, or something else, or if that +someone has to be a big Mutt fan, or SugarCRM, or Thunderbird, etc. + +I am also trying to find a solution that would run on Gnome or the Gnome +Terminal as KDE is not accessible to the Orca screen reader right now. + +Thanks, + +Fernando
