[If enabled,] such messages should get only the +new tag, not the +unread
tag.  Or whatever the user configured, of course.

Oh, I meant as an option of course, with a default to keep the current
behaviour.

Just to be clear, I wasn't commenting on whether it was the right thing
to do or not, just whether it would be hard. It seems likely to be
annoying to at least some people to have messages show up as unread
again (or whatever the tags are) when new copies arrive.

It doesn't look especially hard, assuming the obvious small change to
add_file() in notmuch-insert.c works. I didn't look at the equivalent
code path in notmuch-new.c. Presumably you'd want them both to behave
the same way.

It might however be desired to apply the new tags even when the message
is a duplicate.  How complicated would it be to implement this?
