Hooks can be arbitrary executable programs or +scripts. For example, if you always run your mail delivery tool first and +`notmuch new` after that, you can run the tool from Notmuch `pre-new` hook, and +simply run `notmuch new` to do both. If you always do some tagging after +indexing of new messages, you may want to set up a `post-new` or `post-insert` +hook to do that automatically. + ## Backing up and Restoring the Database ## Removing Notmuch -- 2.43.0
