Would a more sophisticated notmuch-fcc-dirs be acceptable?

Wouldn't it be nicest if that config variable were able to take a function that returns one or multiple FCC paths? This way people could become really creative in their .emacs. Personally, I would love if we could keep the default configuration (1 FCC dir that never changes) as simple as a string value. I have no problems with the second patch that you sent (ability to use absolute paths). That having said, if you have nice patches that cworth is willing to accept, any solution is good to me.

I'd like to be able to archive to a destination based on the year, i.e.: (concat "sent-" (format-time-string "%Y")) and I'd like for that string to be recomputed for each outgoing message. I'd also like to fcc to a directory outside of message-directory, and I imagine that sometimes it might be useful to fcc to more than one location. If I have time to work on it, would patches for this sort of thing be interesting?
