 To use the Notmuch emacs mode, first add the following line to your
 `.emacs` rc file:

-        (autoload 'notmuch "notmuch" "notmuch mail" t)

 Then, either run "emacs -f notmuch", or execute the command `M-x

 # Advanced tips and tweaks
 
-## Use separate emacs lisp file for notmuch configuration
-
-Instead of adding notmuch configuration code to `.emacs`, there
-is an option to collect those to a separate file (which is only
-loaded when `notmuch` is invoked). To do this, write, for example
-a file called `~/.emacs.d/my-notmuch.el`:
-
-        ;;; my-notmuch.el -- my notmuch mail configuration
-        ;;;
-
-        ;;; add here stuff required to be configured *before*
-        ;;; notmuch is loaded;
-
-        ;; uncomment and modify in case some elisp files are not found in load-path
-        ;; (add-to-list 'load-path "~/vc/ext/notmuch/emacs")
-
-        ;;; load notmuch
-        (require 'notmuch)
-
-        ;;; add here stuff required to be configured *after*
-        ;;; notmuch is loaded;
-
-        ;; uncomment & modify if you want to use external smtp server to send mail
-        ;; (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.server.tld"
-        ;;       message-send-mail-function 'message-smtpmail-send-it)
-        ;; uncomment to debug smtp sending problems
-        ;; (setq smtpmail-debug-info t)

-Then, add to `.emacs`:

-        (autoload 'notmuch "~/.emacs.d/my-notmuch" "notmuch mail" t)
