Right. Notmuch does already automatically detect files that are obviously not email and ignore them. I just wondered if perhaps there was a performance problem from notmuch having to keep looking at these non-mail files over and over again. Though, even if that were the only problem, we could just teach notmuch to remember that particular files were detected as not-email to fix the performance problem without requiring any user configuration. -Carl -- carl.d.worth at intel.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
