By default, notmuch excludes the tags - deleted and spam. This can be changed using the new config setting - search.auto_exclude_tags. + Tags can be automatically excluded from search results by adding them + to the new 'search.exclude_tags' option in the Notmuch config file. + + This behaviour can be overridden by explicitly including an excluded + tag in your query, for example: + + notmuch search $your_query and tag:$excluded_tag + + Existing users will probably want to run "notmuch setup" again to add + the new well-commented [search] section to the configuration file. + + For new configurations, accepting the default setting will cause the + tags "deleted" and "spam" to be excluded, equivalent to running: + + notmuch config set search.exclude_tags deleted spam Emacs Interface ---------------
