The 'link' feature would have been pretty cool as the linking goes blazingly fast. But, the unfortunate side effect of this would be that if the file referenced by link is modified, the original file gets modified.I personally don't want this to happen after the mail is delivered unless I intentionally do it (my delivered mails filenames are generated from the md5sum of the original content, so re-comparing all content will reveal what files been modified :D) If one of the goals of notmuch is to not to change the contents of mail files and avoid this happening accidentally by other programs (referencing files in configured 'path' from other programs considered non-accidental action) then this feature should just be dropped (but not forgotten so it doesn't get re-implemented). > -alip Tomi
