No, the resulting mailbox can be made to be writable: if you use the mutt-notmuch script, just change the <change-folder-readonly> below to <change-folder>: macro index <F8> \ "<enter-command>unset wait_key<enter><shell-escape>mutt-notmuch --prompt search<enter><change-folder-readonly>~/.cache/mutt_results<enter>" \ "search mail (using notmuch)" macro index <F9> \ "<enter-command>unset wait_key<enter><pipe-message>mutt-notmuch thread<enter><change-folder-readonly>~/.cache/mutt_results<enter><enter-command>set wait_key<enter>" \ "search and reconstruct owning thread (using notmuch)" -- Yubin
