25 ;; This is an emacs-based interface to the notmuch mail system.
27 ;; You will first need to have the notmuch program installed and have a
28 ;; notmuch database built in order to use this. See
29 ;; https://notmuchmail.org for details.
31 ;; To install this software, copy it to a directory that is on the
32 ;; `load-path' variable within emacs (a good candidate is
33 ;; /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp). If you are viewing this from the
34 ;; notmuch source distribution then you can simply run:
36 ;; sudo make install-emacs
40 ;; Then, to actually run it, add:
42 ;; (autoload 'notmuch "notmuch" "Notmuch mail" t)
44 ;; to your ~/.emacs file, and then run "M-x notmuch" from within emacs,
49 ;; Have fun, and let us know if you have any comment, questions, or
