+     The notmuch index is currently saved in .notmuch under the user's

+
+     This is problematic with both tools that sync Maildirs and with IMAP

-     Allows to search for messages in a specific folder.
+     A better solution would be to add a configuration option for this so
+     that it can be put e.g. in ~/.notmuch

++    Add a list or pattern for subfolders to ignore
+
+     Some people are crazy enough to archive e.g. their Spam in their
+     Maildir and perhaps they'd prefer not having them indexed on notmuch.
+
+     Having a configuration option to exclude or include certain subparts of
+     the user's Maildir would be a very nice feature to have.

+  + Reply-To: allows for searches based on the return address
