Well, I would like to be able to handle a higher volume of messages faster. I think that I am typically reluctant to subscribe to new lists because I know that I'm not efficient at processing the mail. People who use NNTP to read mailing lists talk about the following sorts of things which speed things up: - efficient killfiles/filters - manually killing subthreads - expiration/catching up - browsing lists without going through the process of subscription and/or downloading archives I'd be interested to hear what techniques people have for making notmuch capable of getting through mailing list mail faster. I find that notmuch is great for practising Inbox Zero on personal mail, and for searching to find old mail, but I haven't made it especially good for dealing with discussion forums yet. I've come up with a few ideas myself in the past few days but they're fairly simple. -- Sean Whitton ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch

Fwiw, I have some slrn spool to Maildir translators here which should work with notmuch: Perl: https://yhbt.net/public-inbox.git/tree/scripts/slrnspool2maildir (It still uses the Email::* namespace, which I'm slowly getting rid of in public-inbox due to performance and inactive upstream...) Ruby: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190104013522.stng6gwauwnr6wbi@starla/ (doesn't do any header rewriting) > I've not yet used NNTP to read mailing lists myself, but I think there > are limitations to the way I currently read lists, and was wondering > whether it is worth exploring the NNTP approach, or trying to come up > with notmuch-based workflow improvements. Not directly related to notmuch: I'm planning on expanding public-inbox to include a local client tool which can index, search, and optionally cache NNTP and HTTP messages from any NNTP and public-inbox HTTP instances. Maybe IMAP, too... ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch

notmuch and mailing lists
Hello, I was wondering whether anyone who previously read mailing lists via NNTP has stopped doing this after starting to use notmuch. I've not yet used NNTP to read mailing lists myself, but I think there are limitations to the way I currently read lists, and was wondering whether it is worth exploring the NNTP approach, or trying to come up with notmuch-based workflow improvements. Kindly CC me on replies. -- Sean Whitton ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
