10 I saw the LWN article and decided to take a look at notmuch. I'm
11 currently using mutt and mairix to index and read a collection of
12 Maildir mail folders (around 40,000 messages total).
14 notmuch indexed the messages without complaint, but my attempt at
15 searching bombed out. Running, for example:
17 notmuch search storage

22 /home/lars/Mail/read-messages.2008/cur/1246413773.24928_27334.hostname,U=3026:2,S:
25 I'm curious if this is expected behavior (i.e., notmuch does not work
26 with Maildir) or if something else is going on.

144 I've also pushed a slightly more complicated (and complete) fix to my
145 private notmuch repository

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

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

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

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

213 Notmuch works just fine with maildir---it's one of the things that it
