Hi Daniel,

Thanks for answering!

notmuch doesn't "skip" anything -- it just knows that they are the same e-mail due to message-id matching. it actually indexes both texts. you
can see this with:

    notmuch search --output=files id:$MESSAGEID


Indeed - with the command line tool in this form, I do see both files. Read
on :-)

I'd prefer to have both, but if I have to pick one or the other, I'd
actually prefer to have the second one, as I'd then have

[ pdp ]

as the start of the subject header for ALL mails to that list, and as an added bonus, afew (should?) then tag them with the list name making them
easily searchable.

I'd recommend doing your tagging based on something other than a
substring of the subject line -- wouldn't tagging based on the recipient
of the message (To: or Cc:) be sufficient to group your mailing list
messages under one heading, regardless of which variant notmuch chooses
to prefer?

So here’s the deal : I am tagging with afew, it has a special mailing list filter, which does the right thing - it tags the copy that was delivered from the mailing list with the list name. However (and maybe this is just the Emacs interface?) when I view the message in notmuch-emacs, it only shows one of them, and this seems to be (always? at least usually) the copy that is Fcc’d to my sent folder and tagged only
with “sent” because it doesn’t have a list-id yet.

So I’m still looking for how to do this “right”. I must not be the only one that sends
mails to mailing lists?
