+##Write a wrapper shell script##
+
+/!\ From reading about `notmuch show --format=raw` in the 0.5 (2010-11-11)
+release's *New command-line features* section of the `NEWS` file, it appears to
+me that step *2.* is no longer needed, and this whole procedure can be
+simplified a lot. But I haven't tested / confirmed this yet.

+Now we will need to write a simple shell script that does two things:
+
+1. replaces the call to the notmuch binary with a call to notmuch
+over ssh.
+2. offers, via the "--get" option, a utility for downloading raw
+message text over scp (this is necessary for attachments) and
+caching for future use.
