That could very well be acceptable.
A user would have to carefully configure notmuch to get this
behavior. Options for that could include the following in
~/.notmuch-config:
[maildir]
synchronize_flags=false
Or:
[new]
tags=
I think that if either of the above options are set that notmuch won't
need to change the message's filename. And in that case, I would feel
that it wouldn't be entirely unreasonable for notmuch to leave message
in the "new" directory.
This allows the user to effectively setup a mail-store that notmuch
treats as more-or-less "read only" and that seems like a useful thing.
Please experiment with that and feel free to send the patch or patches
that you generate.
Thanks again, and I hope you can find a way to make notmuch work for
you.
