+Subject: [notmuch] Introducing myself
+Message-ID: <20091118002059.067214ed@hikari>
+
+
+Hello to all,
+
+I have just heard about Not Much today in some random Linux-related news
+site (LWN?), my name is Adrian Perez and I work as systems administrator
+(although I can do some code as well :P). I have always thought that the
+ideas behind Sup were great, but after some time using it, I got tired of
+the oddities that it has. I also do not like doing things like having to
+install Ruby just for reading and sorting mails. Some time ago I thought
+about doing something like Not Much and in fact I played a bit with the
+Python+Xapian and the Python+Whoosh combinations, because I find relaxing
+to code things in Python when I am not working and also it is installed
+by default on most distribution. I got to have some mailboxes indexed and
+basic searching working a couple of months ago. Lately I have been very
+busy and had no time for coding, and them... boom! Not Much appears -- and
+it is almost exactly what I was trying to do, but faster. I have been
+playing a bit with Not Much today, and I think it has potential.
+
+Also, I would like to share one idea I had in mind, that you might find
+interesting: One thing I have found very annoying is having to re-tag my
+mail when the indexes get b0rked (it happened a couple of times to me while
+using Sup), so I was planning to mails as read/unread and adding the tags
+not just to the index, but to the mail text itself, e.g. by adding a
+"X-Tags" header field or by reusing the "Keywords" one. This way, the index
+could be totally recreated by re-reading the mail directories, and this
+would also allow to a tools like OfflineIMAP [1] to get the mails into a
+local maildir, tagging and indexing the mails with the e-mail reader and
+then syncing back the messages with the "X-Tags" header to the IMAP server.
+This would allow to use the mail reader from a different computer and still
+have everything tagged finely.
+
+Best regards,
+
