+This directory contains email corpora for testing.
+
+default
+ The default corpus is based on about 50 messages from early in the
+ history of the notmuch mailing list, which allows for reliably
+ testing commands that need to operate on a not-totally-trivial
+ number of messages.
+
+broken
+ The broken corpus contains messages that are broken and/or RFC
+ non-compliant, ensuring we deal with them in a sane way.
