DESCRIPTION
===========
Hooks are scripts (or arbitrary executables or symlinks to such) that
notmuch invokes before and after certain actions. These scripts reside
-in the .notmuch/hooks directory within the database directory and must
-have executable permissions.
+in a directory defined as described in **notmuch-config(1)**. They
+must have executable permissions.
The currently available hooks are described below.
- **pre-new**
- This hook is invoked by the **new** command before scanning or
- importing new messages into the database. If this hook exits
- with a non-zero status, notmuch will abort further processing of
- the **new** command.
-
- Typically this hook is used for fetching or delivering new mail
- to be imported into the database.
-
- **post-new**
- This hook is invoked by the **new** command after new messages
- have been imported into the database and initial tags have been
- applied. The hook will not be run if there have been any errors
- during the scan or import.
-
- Typically this hook is used to perform additional query-based
- tagging on the imported messages.
-
- **post-insert**
-
- This hook is invoked by the **insert** command after the
- message has been delivered, added to the database, and initial
- tags have been applied. The hook will not be run if there have
- been any errors during the message delivery; what is regarded
- as successful delivery depends on the ``--keep`` option.
-
- Typically this hook is used to perform additional query-based
- tagging on the delivered messages.
