ble with the format of files produced by sup-dump. So if
you've previously been using sup for mail, then the <b>notmuch</b>
<b>restore</b> command provides you a way to import all of your tags
Tags are hex-encoded by replacing every byte not matching the
regex <b>[A-Za-z0-9@=.,</b>_<b>+-]</b> with <b>%nn</b> where nn is the two digit hex

- space or a close paren or starts with a double quote, it must
- be enclosed in double quotes and double quotes inside the ID
- must be doubled. The astute reader will notice this is a spe-
- cial case of the batch input format for <a href='../notmuch-tag-1/'>notmuch-tag</a>(1); note
- that the single message-id query is mandatory for <a href='../notmuch-restore-1/'>notmuch-</a>
