+## tagging based on content
+
+Since notmuch currently does not index arbitrary headers, it can be
+useful to tag based on content.  Here is a snippet that would fit with
+the 'new' tag approach discussed above.
+
+    for mid in $(notmuch search --output=messages tag:new); do
+        if notmuch show --format=raw "$mid" | awk '!NF{exit 1} /^X-Spam_bar: ++++++++/ {exit 0}'; then
+        notmuch tag +spam "$mid"
+        fi
+    done
