I agree as well! + +But while it's trivial to make notmuch-mutt itself support +$XDG_CACHE_HOME, it is less so for the Mutt configuration snippet +(i.e. the notmuch-mutt.rc file which is part of my submission). AFAICT +the function does not support variable +expansions, not to mention default values while doing so. As a result, I +can easily support $XDG_CACHE_HOME for, say, the history file, but I +don't know how to make mutt look in some $XDG_CACHE_HOME derived +directory. (Yes, I'm excluding hackish solutions like have mutt look +always in the same dir, and make that dir a "moving" symlink that will +be changed by notmuch-mutt upon execution. That seems to defeat the +benefits of the XDG specification, at least partly.) + +Bottom line: I'll be happy to properly support $XDG_CACHE_HOME, but I'm +in need on suggestions of how to do so for the Mutt configuration part. + +> If notmuch-mutt is accepted into notmuch upstream then it really becomes +> a part of notmuch and isn't really "public" anymore (at least in the +> sense that you're using).
