DESCRIPTION

        The  config  command  can be used to get or set settings in the notmuch
-       configuration file.
+       configuration file and corresponding database.
 
-           get The value of the specified configuration  item  is  printed  to
-               stdout.  If  the  item has multiple values (it is a list), each
-               value is separated by a newline character.
+       Items marked [STORED IN DATABASE]  are  only  in  the  database.   They
+       should  not be placed in the configuration file, and should be accessed
+       programmatically as described in the SYNOPSIS above.
 
-           set The specified configuration item is set to the given value.  To
-               specify a multiple-value item (a list), provide each value as a
-               separate command-line argument.
+       get    The value of the specified configuration item is printed to std‐
+              out.  If the item has multiple values (it is a list), each value
+              is separated by a newline character.
 
-               If no values are provided,  the  specified  configuration  item
-               will be removed from the configuration file.

-           list
-               Every  configuration item is printed to stdout, each on a sepa-
-               rate line of the form:
+              If no values are provided, the specified configuration item will
+              be removed from the configuration file.
 
-               section.item=value
+       list   Every  configuration  item is printed to stdout, each on a sepa‐
+              rate line of the form:
 
-               No additional whitespace surrounds the dot or equals sign char-
-               acters. In a multiple-value item (a list), the values are sepa-
-               rated by semicolon characters.
+                 *section*.\ *item*\ =\ *value*
+
+              No additional whitespace surrounds the dot or equals sign  char‐
+              acters.  In a multiple-value item (a list), the values are sepa‐
+              rated by semicolon characters.
 
        The available configuration items are described below.
 
-           database.path
-               The top-level directory where your mail currently exists and to
-               where  mail  will  be  delivered in the future. Files should be
-               individual email messages.  Notmuch  will  store  its  database
-               within  a sub-directory of the path configured here named .not-
-               much.
-
-           user.name
-               Your full name.
-
-           user.primary_email
-               Your primary email address.
-
-           user.other_email
-               A list of other email addresses at which you receive email.
-
-           new.tags
-               A list of tags that will be added to all messages  incorporated
-               by notmuch new.
-
-           new.ignore
-               A list of file and directory names, without path, that will not
-               be searched for messages by notmuch new.   All  the  files  and
-               directories  matching  any  of the names specified here will be
-               ignored, regardless of the location in the mail store directory
-               hierarchy.
-
-           search.exclude_tags
-               A  list  of  tags  that will be excluded from search results by
-               default. Using an excluded tag in a query  will  override  that
-               exclusion.
-
-           maildir.synchronize_flags
-               If  true,  then  the  following maildir flags (in message file-
-               names) will be  synchronized  with  the  corresponding  notmuch
-               tags:
-
-                 Flag    Tag
-                 ----    -------
-                 D       draft
-                 F       flagged
-                 P       passed
-                 R       replied
-                 S       unread (added when 'S' flag is not present)
-
-               The  notmuch  new command will notice flag changes in filenames
-               and update tags, while the notmuch tag and notmuch restore com-
-               mands will notice tag changes and update flags in filenames.
-
-               If  there  have  been  any changes in the maildir (new messages
-               added, old ones removed  or  renamed,  maildir  flags  changed,
-               etc.), it is advisable to run notmuch new before notmuch tag or
-               notmuch restore commands to ensure the tag changes are properly
-               synchronized  to  the maildir flags, as the commands expect the
-               database and maildir to be in sync.
+       database.path
+              The top-level directory where your mail currently exists and  to
+              where  mail  will  be  delivered  in the future. Files should be
+              individual email  messages.  Notmuch  will  store  its  database

+              Default: $MAILDIR variable if set, otherwise $HOME/mail.
+
+       user.name
+              Your full name.
+
+              Default: $NAME variable if set, otherwise read from /etc/passwd.
+
+       user.primary_email
+              Your primary email address.
+
+              Default: $EMAIL variable if set, otherwise constructed from  the
+              username and hostname of the current machine.
+
+       user.other_email
+              A list of other email addresses at which you receive email.
+
+              Default: not set.
+
+       new.tags
+              A  list  of tags that will be added to all messages incorporated
+              by notmuch new.
+
+              Default: unread;inbox.
+
+       new.ignore
+              A list to  specify  files  and  directories  that  will  not  be
+              searched  for messages by notmuch new. Each entry in the list is
+              either:
+
+              A file or a directory name, without path, that will be  ignored,
+              regardless  of  the location in the mail store directory hierar‐
+              chy.
+
+              Or:
+
+              A regular expression delimited with  //  that  will  be  matched
+              against  the path of the file or directory relative to the data‐
+              base path. Matching files and directories will be  ignored.  The
+              beginning  and  end  of  string must be explicitly anchored. For
+              example, /.*/foo$/ would match "bar/foo" and "bar/baz/foo",  but
+              not "foo" or "bar/foobar".
+
+              Default: empty list.
+
+       search.exclude_tags
+              A  list  of  tags  that  will be excluded from search results by
+              default. Using an excluded tag in a  query  will  override  that
+              exclusion.
+
+              Default:   empty   list.   Note   that   notmuch-setup(1)   puts
+              deleted;spam here when creating new configuration file.
+
+       maildir.synchronize_flags
+              If true, then the following maildir flags (in message filenames)
+              will be synchronized with the corresponding notmuch tags:

+
+              The notmuch new command will notice flag  changes  in  filenames
+              and  update tags, while the notmuch tag and notmuch restore com‐
+              mands will notice tag changes and update flags in filenames.
+
+              If there have been any changes  in  the  maildir  (new  messages
+              added,  old  ones  removed  or  renamed,  maildir flags changed,
+              etc.), it is advisable to run notmuch new before notmuch tag  or

+              database and maildir to be in sync.
+
+              Default: true.
+
+       crypto.gpg_path
+              Name  (or  full  path)  of gpg binary to use in verification and
+              decryption of PGP/MIME messages.  NOTE: This configuration  item
+              is  deprecated,  and will be ignored if notmuch is built against
+              GMime 3.0 or later.
+
+              Default: gpg.
+
+       index.decrypt [STORED IN DATABASE]
+              Policy for decrypting encrypted messages during indexing.   Must
+              be one of: false, auto, nostash, or true.
+
+              When  indexing  an encrypted e-mail message, if this variable is
+              set to true, notmuch will try to decrypt the message  and  index
+              the  cleartext,  stashing  a copy of any discovered session keys
+              for the message.  If auto, it will try to index the cleartext if
+              a  stashed  session  key  is already known for the message (e.g.
+              from a previous copy), but will not try to  access  your  secret
+              keys.  Use false to avoid decrypting even when a stashed session
+              key is already present.
+
+              nostash is the same as  true  except  that  it  will  not  stash
+              newly-discovered session keys in the database.
+
+              From   the   command  line  (i.e.  during  notmuch-new(1),  not‐
+              much-insert(1), or notmuch-reindex(1)), the  user  can  override
+              the  database's  stored  decryption  policy  with the --decrypt=
+              option.
+
+              Here is a table that summarizes the  functionality  of  each  of
