It can also be used to purge mail files from disk:
- $ notmuch search --format=text0 --output=files tag:deleted | xargs -0 rm
+ $ notmuch search --format=text0 --output=files tag:deleted | xargs -0 --no-run-if-empty rm
Make sure you run "notmuch new" after the last command so the database
becomes aware that the files have been removed and can remove the
$ notmuch config set search.exclude_tags deleted
-* Add a key binding to your favorite ui to add a "deleted" tag to
- messages that you want to delete. In [[emacs|emacstips]] that might
- be:
-
- (define-key notmuch-show-mode-map "d"
- (lambda ()
- (interactive)
- (notmuch-show-tag "+deleted")))
+* In emacs MUA use keybinding `k d` to add a "deleted" tag to messages
+ that you want to delete.
* And, finally, if you _really_ want the messages purged from disk,
you can delete them manually with:
## <span id="exclude">**killing threads**</span>
