From 3ab18d1c22c4b18b9ca8d73094b3bf10b95f35fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Carl Worth Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2010 11:03:56 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] README: Mention that notmuch only supports maildir or mh format. Justin B Rye pointed out (in Debian bug #566282) that a user with mail in mbox format can spend a lot of time investigating notmuch before realizing that mbox is not supported. Head that off with a more detailed mention in the README blurb. --- README | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/README b/README index 2c570e1d..5f029c82 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -1,8 +1,9 @@ Notmuch - thread-based email index, search and tagging.
