+
+I saw the LWN article and decided to take a look at notmuch. I'm
+currently using mutt and mairix to index and read a collection of
+Maildir mail folders (around 40,000 messages total).
+
+notmuch indexed the messages without complaint, but my attempt at
+searching bombed out. Running, for example:
+
+ notmuch search storage
+
+Resulted in 4604 lines of errors along the lines of:
+
+ Error opening
+ /home/lars/Mail/read-messages.2008/cur/1246413773.24928_27334.hostname,U=3026:2,S:
+ Too many open files
+
+I'm curious if this is expected behavior (i.e., notmuch does not work
+with Maildir) or if something else is going on.
+
+Cheers,

+ Oops. Looks like Carl's mail server is broken. He's traveling to
+ Barcelona today and so it won't get fixed for a while.
+
+ Thanks to everyone for trying out notmuch!

+
+ The version of lib/messages.cc in your repo doesn't build because it's
+ missing "#include <stdint.h>" (for the uint32_t on line 466).

+
+ Welcome, Lars!
+
+ I hadn't even seen that Keith's blog post had been picked up by lwn.net.
+ That's very interesting. So, thanks for coming and trying out notmuch.

+
+ Sadly, the lwn article coincided with me having just introduced this
+ bug, and then getting on a Trans-Atlantic flight. So I fixed the bug
+ fairly quickly, but there was quite a bit of latency before I could push
+ the fix out. It should be fixed now.

+
+ Notmuch works just fine with maildir---it's one of the things that it
+ likes the best.
+
+ Happy hacking,
