This way, - server-side filtering can be directly used by notmuch to tag all - incoming mail. - -+ Make message store code modular - - Notmuch is built on the assumption that the message store is a - collection of message files in directories (roughly Maildir - format). This performs suboptimally for a wide range of systems, - especially with large numbers of messages. Modularising the - message store code to move this assumption into the implementation - rather than the interface would allow adding support for different - message stores like the traditional [mbox - formats](http://homepage.ntlworld.com./jonathan.deboynepollard/FGA/mail-mbox-formats.html) - as well as more experimental approaches like using git as an object - storage (similar to how [[nmbug]] operates). - -+ Put content of all non-multipart content-types in results of `notmuch show --format=json ...` - - In the JSON-format output of the `show` command, only text/plain - parts' content is included. Including the content of parts having any - non-multipart content-type would assist with those who wished to access - their mail through notmuch's `show` command (because of having written - their MUA in a language with no library bindings or access to them - [e.g. Perl, Lua or shell]) and also had a mailcap or similar MIME-type - mapping system with which to actually view HTML files, images and the like. - -## 3rd party apps - -### notmuchsync - -NOTE: most of notmuchsync's functionality has been integrated in - notmuch 0.5.
