Yay! Thanks a lot.

Woo-hoo! Thanks so much!!

This has been on my I-wish-I-would-have-done-that-from-the-beginning
list for notmuch for a very long time.

I just wanted to point out that this specific request has now been added
to notmuch, thanks to David Bremner!  It will hopefully be part of the
forthcoming 0.29 release:

NEWS currently says:

Add support for indexing user specified headers (e.g. List-Id). See
notmuch-config(1) for details. This requires reindexing after changing
the set of headers to be indexed.

Bremner, i'm not sure how/when you want to clear the notmuch::wishlist
tag on the OP here, but it's nice to be able to reduce the stack listed
at https://nmbug.notmuchmail.org/status/#Wish-list

Thanks for writing this up. Similar requests have been around for a
while, but it's good to have a note in nmbug.

There are two main blockers I'm aware of (other than someone writing and
reviewing the code).

1) We need to index all copies of a message (e.g. using
   something like the series at  id:20170507124012.30188-2-da...@tethera.net)

2) we need to decide what happens when someone changes the list of
   indexed headers.

[FEATURE] indexing arbitrary headers

[Łukasz Stelmach]

Hi,

I'd like to ask for a new feature: indexing of arbitrary headers. Not
all headers but a few selected by users.

For example, I get a lot of mails from a Gerrit system. I'd like to keep
them for a while and remove them when they are old enough. Although
these messages are distinguishable in my inbox, they've got subjects
like "Change in ..." and are from "nobody". But these may happen in
other e-mails too. The only 100% sure way to distringuish those e-mails
is to look for headers Gerrit adds.

Kind regards,
