doc: alphabetize options in notmuch-config(1)
Originally (I think) these were in the order generated by notmuch setup. As the number of options grows, and several are not in the initial setup generated file, the original order becomes less useful for users. This commit alphabetizes the keys to help users search. There is only one content change, an added cross-reference from user.other_email to user.primary_email.

new.ignore
|
|

A list to specify files and directories that will not be searched

for messages by :any:`notmuch-new(1)`. Each entry in the list is either:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A file or a directory name, without path, that will be ignored,

regardless of the location in the mail store directory hierarchy.
|
|

|
|

Or:

||||||
|
|
||||||
A regular expression delimited with // that will be matched
|
|
||||||
against the path of the file or directory relative to the database
|
|
||||||
path. Matching files and directories will be ignored. The
|
|
||||||
beginning and end of string must be explicitly anchored. For
|
|

example, /.*/foo$/ would match "bar/foo" and "bar/baz/foo", but

|
|

exclusion.
|
|

|

`Subject`, `From`, `To`, `Cc`, `Bcc`, `Reply-To`, `Date`. This
