You can disable it by setting `post_sendmail' to empty.  I don't notice
duplicated emails because both gmail and notmuch suppress them, and it's
more important that I see what I've sent out immediately.

The manual command works!

So I think I understand my problem. The reason is that in put in my
.config/bower/bower.conf:

notmuch_deliver=/bin/true

To solve the problem of "duplicated sent email" with Gmail:
http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en=78892

But I didn't realize that notmuch_deliver was also used for postponed messages.

What is the good config? (I see that you're using gmail too :-) ...)?

thanks,

Thanks, this script looks very cool and I think I will replace mine with it (I 
should have
visited (http://notmuchmail.org/initial_tagging/ ...).  You're right, the 
filter I'm
interessed is in in aftew/filters/KillThreadsFilter.py, and do this:

for all email M that does not have tag 'killed':
I = thread Id of the email M
if there are emails that have thread id I and the 'killed' tag:
apply 'killed' tag on email E

Thanks again for all the help.

This is the command to save drafts:

notmuch-deliver Drafts --tag=draft \
  --remove-tag=inbox --remove-tag=unread < message_file

Does it work if you run it manually?  Just make a dummy message_file
with Date:, From:, To:, Subject: headers and a body.

Basically, run an arbitrary command when a key is pressed.  It would
be fairly easy to add, but I wonder if it would be easy to stop adding
more :-)  You could bind a shortcut key to your window manager or
desktop environment that runs the command instead.

The asynchronous tagging will retry after 5 seconds.  The notmuch error
message will show and mess up your screen (press ^L), which I would like
to fix somehow.  Ultimately, I think notmuch should handle this more
gracefully.

I haven't needed such a feature so I don't have a clear idea how it
should work.  There are some patches/ideas about muting threads using
notmuch generally around here.  I guess the simplest thing to do is hide
a thread if it has a certain tag, e.g. "muted" as suggested by notmuch
TODO file, unless you search for it explicitly.

The postponed message should be in Maildir/Drafts.  Can you see it with
`notmuch search tag:draft'?

Sure.

I'm not sure that's a great solution.  Maybe have a key that popups up
an info box, which would have enough room to show the whole subject
line, the list of authors and the tags?

Maybe :-)

 No, `notmuch search tag:draft` returns 0.

This is the command to save drafts:

notmuch-deliver Drafts --tag=draft \
  --remove-tag=inbox --remove-tag=unread  message_file

Does it work if you run it manually?  Just make a dummy message_file

 To make this work, you need to set up your tagging script (that you run after 
 'notmuch new')
 so that it updates those new messages accordingly. If a msg belongs to a 
 thread that has 
 muted messages, also tag the new one muted.
 I can pretty much recommend Justus' tagging script afew: 
 https://github.com/teythoon/afew
 One of the filters that it supports out of the box is exactly the kill

 you want.

I'm not sure if this actually solves your problem, because
notmuch's search is message, not thread based:
If you search for threads that match "is:inbox and not is:muted", you will see 
threads
that contain messages which are tagged with "inbox" and not with "muted".
This means if you just tag one (or all) msg in a thread "muted" and there is a 
new response,
this thread will contain such a matching message again and show up in your 
result list.

To make this work, you need to set up your tagging script (that you run after 
'notmuch new')
so that it updates those new messages accordingly. If a msg belongs to a thread 
that has 
muted messages, also tag the new one muted.

Ok! Two times, this had made notmuch bug for me: notmuch displayed a message 
like "welcome to a new
version of notmuch", and then retagged all my emails, deleting old tags.
(now, I dump my tags every day, and I avoid to use bower while notmuch is 
running).
