 The Emacs interface to notmuch will automatically add an `Fcc`

+## Hiding unread messages in notmuch-show
+
+I like to have an inbox saved search, but only show unread messages when they
+view a thread. This takes two steps:
+
+1. Apply
+[this patch from Mark Walters](http://notmuchmail.org/pipermail/notmuch/2012/010817.html)
+to add the `notmuch-show-filter-thread` function.
+1. Add the following hook to your emacs configuration:
+
+        (defun expand-only-unread-hook () (interactive)
+          (let ((unread nil)
+                (open (notmuch-show-get-message-ids-for-open-messages)))
+            (notmuch-show-mapc (lambda ()
+                                 (when (member "unread" (notmuch-show-get-tags))
+                                   (setq unread t))))
+            (when unread
+              (let ((notmuch-show-hook (remove 'expand-only-unread-hook notmuch-show-hook)))
+                (notmuch-show-filter-thread "tag:unread")))))
+
+        (add-hook 'notmuch-show-hook 'expand-only-unread-hook)
+
+## Changing the color of a saved search based on some other search
+
+I like to have a saved search for my inbox, but have it change color when there
+are thread with unread messages in the inbox. I accomplish this with the
+following code in my emacs config:
+
+        (defun color-inbox-if-unread () (interactive)
+          (save-excursion
+            (goto-char (point-min))
+            (let ((cnt (car (process-lines "notmuch" "count" "tag:inbox and tag:unread"))))
+              (when (> (string-to-number cnt) 0)
+                (save-excursion
+                  (when (search-forward "inbox" (point-max) t)
+                    (let* ((overlays (overlays-in (match-beginning 0) (match-end 0)))
+                           (overlay (car overlays)))
+                      (when overlay
+                        (overlay-put overlay 'face '((:inherit bold) (:foreground "green")))))))))))
+        (add-hook 'notmuch-hello-refresh-hook 'color-inbox-if-unread)

+## Linking to notmuch messages and threads from the Circe IRC client
+
+[Circe](https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/circe/wiki) is an IRC client for emacs.
+To have clickable buttons for notmuch messages and threads, add the following to 
+`lui-buttons-list` (using, e.g. M-x customize-variable)
+
+    ("\\(?:id\\|mid\\|thread\\):[0-9A-Za-z][0-9A-Za-z.@-]*" 0 notmuch-show 0)
+	
+If you have notmuch-pick installed, it works fine for this as well.
