it is loaded. Most emacs lisp based configuration not suitable via

## Navigating & reading mails
not close it. If you type several mails in an emacs session they will
accumulate and make switching between buffers more annoying. You can
avoid that behavior by adding `(setq message-kill-buffer-on-exit t)`
-in your `.emacs` file (or doing `M-x
-customize-variable<RET>message-kill-buffer-on-exit<RET>`) which will
-really close the mail window after sending it.

attach_cmds=""
- while [ "$1" ]; do
+ while [ $# -gt 0 ]; do
fullpath=$(readlink --canonicalize "$1")
attach_cmds="$attach_cmds (mml-attach-file \"$fullpath\")"

+## Controlling external handlers for attachements
+
+You can choose e.g. which pdf viewer to invoke from notmuch-show mode by
+adding a .mailcap file in your home directory. Here is an example:
+
+ application/pdf; /usr/bin/mupdf %s; test=test "$DISPLAY" != ""; description=Portable Document Format; nametemplate=%s.pdf
+ application/x-pdf; /usr/bin/mupdf %s; test=test "$DISPLAY" != ""; description=Portable Document Format; nametemplate=%s.pdf

## Issues with Emacs 24
If notmuch-show-mode behaves badly for you in emacs 24.x try adding one of
changed as notmuch has evolved but the following should work on all
versions of notmuch from 0.13 on. These functions take a list of
tag changes as argument. For example, an argument of (list "+spam"
-"-inbox) adds the tag spam and deletes the tag inbox. Note the
+"-inbox") adds the tag spam and deletes the tag inbox. Note the
argument must be a list even if there is only a single tag change
e.g., use (list "+deleted") to add the deleted tag.

You can perform tab-completion using any of these programs.

+### Completion selection with helm
+
+An address query might return multiple possible matches from which you
+will have to select one. To ease this task, several different
+frameworks in emacs support completion selection. One of them is
+[helm](https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm). The following snippet
+improves the out-of-the-box support for helm in notmuch as it enables
+the required-match option and also does not ignore the first returned
+address.
+
+ (setq notmuch-address-selection-function
+ (lambda (prompt collection initial-input)
+ (completing-read prompt (cons initial-input collection) nil t nil 'notmuch-address-history)))
## How to sign/encrypt messages with gpg

emacs.

+Encrypted and signed mime messages can be read and verified with:

Mailman mailing list software rewrites and rewraps long message subjects in

In general it is nice to have a key for org-links (not just for notmuch). For example
