The shell pipeline used to symlink files based in search results to "cache" directory for mutt(1) to use was prone to portability problems (due to /bin/sh differences). The replacement executes `notmuch search` without intermediate shell (so shell_quote was removed in this case), reads the filenames from piped output and symlinks files internally. |

notmuch-mutt: Notmuch (of a) helper for Mutt ============================================ notmuch-mutt provide integration among the [Mutt] [1] mail user agent and the [Notmuch] [2] mail indexer. notmuch-mutt offer two main integration features. The first one is the ability of stating a **search query interactively** and then jump to a fresh Maildir containing its search results only. The second one is the ability to **reconstruct threads on the fly** starting from the currently highlighted mail, which comes handy when a thread has been split across different maildirs, archived, or the like. notmuch-mutt enables to trigger mail searches via a Mutt macro (usually F8) and reconstruct threads via another (usually F9). Check the manpage for the 2-liner configuration snippet for your Mutt configuration files (~/.muttrc, /etc/Muttrc, or a /etc/Muttrc.d snippet). A [blog style introduction] [3] to notmuch-mutt is available and includes some more rationale for its existence. Arguably, some of the logics of notmuch-mutt could disappear by adding support for a --output=symlinks flag to notmuch.
