Supported options for <b>tag</b> include
- <b>--remove-all</b>
- Remove all tags from each message matching the search terms
- before applying the tag changes appearing on the command
- line. This means setting the tags of each message to the
- tags to be added. If there are no tags to be added, the mes‐
- sages will have no tags.
-
- <b>--batch</b>
- Read batch tagging operations from a file (stdin by default).
- This is more efficient than repeated <b>notmuch</b> <b>tag</b> invocations.
- See <u>TAG</u> <u>FILE</u> <u>FORMAT</u> below for the input format. This option
- is not compatible with specifying tagging on the command
- line.
-
- <b>--input=<filename></b>
- Read input from given file, instead of from stdin. Implies
- <b>--batch</b>.
