2014-03-30emacs: instruct user to autoload notmuch instead of require'ing itTomi Ollila
When (require 'notmuch) is added to ~/.emacs notmuch is loaded to every instance of emacs although it may not be used in majority of those instances. When (autoload 'notmuch "notmuch" ...) is added to ~/.emacs notmuch is loaded (only) when user invokes the notmuch function. User may want to add other entrypoints to notmuch by adding more autoloads -- the autoload instruction given should offer them clue how to do so.
2010-06-01INSTALL/README: Clean up the description of how to run the emacs interface.Carl Worth
The INSTALL file still had old information about the "make install-emacs" command which no longer exists. README was also giving pointers on how to develop a real interface, (which is not the right thing since README should be addressed to users, not coders). So remove the stale and misplaced information, and instead add a new "Running notmuch" section to the README describing how to run the notmuch command-line interface and how to run the emacs interface.
2010-02-25README: Mention that notmuch only supports maildir or mh format.Carl Worth
Justin B Rye pointed out (in Debian bug #566282) that a user with mail in mbox format can spend a lot of time investigating notmuch before realizing that mbox is not supported. Head that off with a more detailed mention in the README blurb.
2010-01-23README: Tighten up the text a bit.Carl Worth
As Keith pointed out, (with a humorous citation from Mark Twain), the two uses of "very" added nothing to the description. Also, "large collection of email" was repeated uselessly.
2009-11-18README: Mention the actual mailing list address now that it exists.Carl Worth
Much better than telling people to mail me individually.

2009-11-02README: Add a simple file explaining notmuch and pointing out resources.Carl Worth
This is part of getting notmuch ready for a more public announcement.
