Filtering on arbitrary headers #6

Open romanofski opened 7 years ago

romanofski commented 7 years ago

This might be not something for a client, but rather for notmuch as a patch itself. But I thought we better track it.

The corresponding notmuch feature request is here: https://www.mail-archive.com/notmuch@notmuchmail.org/msg44527.html

Nice to have. Remember that notmuch tagging hooks can tag messages according to such properties.

Oh really? Maybe this is not an issue at all? So you can match on X- headers and tag accordingly?

Yeah. But it's an extra thing the user must configure, up front. I still think it would be nice to have the option to filter on arbitrary headers post-facto, even if it means nm has to build a custom index. But we depend on nm implementing that.

Given the existing workaround I don't think we need to make this a baseline feature.
