Sup certainly started a lot of people thinking...

Easier than that, notmuch (and sup too), provide a 'dump' command which
|
||
|
|
just lists all of the message IDs and their associated tags. Makes
|
||
|
|
saving tags easy and doesn't involve rewriting messages. I do this once
|
||
|
|
a day just before my computer is backed up to an external drive.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the index is destroyed, you can reindex the messages and then reapply
|
||
|
|
all of the tags with 'notmuch restore'.
