more details on hooks.
Option arguments must appear before any tag operation arguments.
Supported options for **insert** include
- ``--folder=<``\ folder\ **>**
- Deliver the message to the specified folder, relative to the
- top-level directory given by the value of **database.path**. The
- default is the empty string, which means delivering to the
- top-level directory.
-
- ``--create-folder``
- Try to create the folder named by the ``--folder`` option, if it
- does not exist. Otherwise the folder must already exist for mail
- delivery to succeed.
-
- ``--keep``
- Keep the message file if indexing fails, and keep the message
- indexed if applying tags or maildir flag synchronization
- fails. Ignore these errors and return exit status 0 to
- indicate successful mail delivery.
-
- ``--no-hooks``
- Prevent hooks from being run.
-
- ``--decrypt=(true|auto|false)``
-
- If ``true`` and the message is encrypted, try to decrypt the
- message while indexing, storing any session keys discovered.
- If ``auto``, and notmuch already knows about a session key for
- the message, it will try decrypting using that session key but
- will not try to access the user's secret keys. If decryption
- is successful, index the cleartext itself. Either way, the
- message is always stored to disk in its original form
- (ciphertext).
-
- Be aware that the index is likely sufficient to reconstruct
- the cleartext of the message itself, so please ensure that the
- notmuch message index is adequately protected. DO NOT USE
- ``--decrypt=true`` without considering the security of
- your index.
