From e59eaa5ddd2c23742c95e2acd34673b58ea34d2d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastian Spaeth Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2011 08:44:06 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] python: Do not implicitely call maildir_flags_to_tags etc In order to remain consistent with the underlying C API, we do not automatically synchronize notmuch tags and maildir flags anymore. The underlying functions Message.maildir_flags_to_tags and Message.tags_to_maildir_flags still exist and are available to the user.
