path. Matching files and directories will be ignored. The

-**crypto.gpg_path**
- Name (or full path) of gpg binary to use in verification and

+ example ``index.header.List=List-Id`` will add a probabilistic
+ prefix ``List:`` that searches the ``List-Id`` field. User
+ defined prefixes must not start with 'a'...'z'; in particular
+ adding a prefix with same name as a predefined prefix is not
+ supported. See **notmuch-search-terms(7)** for a list of existing
+ prefixes, and an explanation of probabilistic prefixes.
