The new "auto" decryption policy is not only good for "notmuch show" and "notmuch reindex". It's also useful for indexing messages -- there's no good reason to not try to go ahead and index the cleartext of a message that we have a stashed session key for. This change updates the defaults and tunes the test suite to make sure that they have taken effect.

SYNOPSIS
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
**notmuch** **config** **get** <*section*>.<*item*>
|
|
|
|
**notmuch** **config** **set** <*section*>.<*item*> [*value* ...]
|
|
|
|
**notmuch** **config** **list**
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
The **config** command can be used to get or set settings in the notmuch
|
|
configuration file and corresponding database.
|
|
|
|
Items marked **[STORED IN DATABASE]** are only in the database. They
|
|
should not be placed in the configuration file, and should be accessed
|
|
programmatically as described in the SYNOPSIS above.
|
|
|
|
**get**
|
|
The value of the specified configuration item is printed to
|
|
stdout. If the item has multiple values (it is a list), each
|
|
value is separated by a newline character.
|
|
|
|
**set**
|
|
The specified configuration item is set to the given value. To
|
|
specify a multiple-value item (a list), provide each value as a
|
|
separate command-line argument.
|
|
|
|
If no values are provided, the specified configuration item will
|
|
be removed from the configuration file.
|
|
|
|
**list**
|
|
Every configuration item is printed to stdout, each on a
|
|
separate line of the form:
|
|
|
|
*section*.\ *item*\ =\ *value*
|
|
|
|
No additional whitespace surrounds the dot or equals sign
|
|
characters. In a multiple-value item (a list), the values are
|
|
separated by semicolon characters.
|
|
|
|
The available configuration items are described below.
|
|
|
|
**database.path**
|
|
The top-level directory where your mail currently exists and to
|
|
where mail will be delivered in the future. Files should be
|
|
individual email messages. Notmuch will store its database
|
|
within a sub-directory of the path configured here named
|
|
``.notmuch``.
|
|
|
|
Default: ``$MAILDIR`` variable if set, otherwise ``$HOME/mail``.
|
|
|
|
**user.name**
|
|
Your full name.
|
|
|
|
Default: ``$NAME`` variable if set, otherwise read from
|
|
``/etc/passwd``.
|
|
|
|
**user.primary\_email**
|
|
Your primary email address.
|
|
|
|
Default: ``$EMAIL`` variable if set, otherwise constructed from the
|
|
username and hostname of the current machine.
|
|
|
|
**user.other\_email**
|
|
A list of other email addresses at which you receive email.
|
|
|
|
Default: not set.
|
|
|
|
**new.tags**
|
|
A list of tags that will be added to all messages incorporated
|
|
by **notmuch new**.
|
|
|
|
Default: ``unread;inbox``.
|
|
|
|
**new.ignore**
|
|
A list of file and directory names, without path, that will not
|
|
be searched for messages by **notmuch new**. All the files and
|
|
directories matching any of the names specified here will be
|
|
ignored, regardless of the location in the mail store directory
|
|
hierarchy.
|
|
|
|
Default: empty list.
|
|
|
|
**search.exclude\_tags**
|
|
A list of tags that will be excluded from search results by
|
|
default. Using an excluded tag in a query will override that
|
|
exclusion.
|
|
|
|
Default: empty list. Note that **notmuch-setup(1)** puts
|
|
``deleted;spam`` here when creating new configuration file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**maildir.synchronize\_flags**
|
|
If true, then the following maildir flags (in message filenames)
|
|
will be synchronized with the corresponding notmuch tags:
|
|
|
|
+--------+-----------------------------------------------+
|
|
| Flag | Tag |
|
|
+========+===============================================+
|
|
| D | draft |
|
|
+--------+-----------------------------------------------+
|
|
| F | flagged |
|
|
+--------+-----------------------------------------------+
|
|
| P | passed |
|
|
+--------+-----------------------------------------------+
|
|
| R | replied |
|
|
+--------+-----------------------------------------------+
|
|
| S | unread (added when 'S' flag is not present) |
|
|
+--------+-----------------------------------------------+
|
|
|
|
The **notmuch new** command will notice flag changes in
|
|
filenames and update tags, while the **notmuch tag** and
|
|
**notmuch restore** commands will notice tag changes and update
|
|
flags in filenames.
|
|
|
|
If there have been any changes in the maildir (new messages
|
|
added, old ones removed or renamed, maildir flags changed,
|
|
etc.), it is advisable to run **notmuch new** before **notmuch
|
|
tag** or **notmuch restore** commands to ensure the tag changes
|
|
are properly synchronized to the maildir flags, as the commands
|
|
expect the database and maildir to be in sync.
|
|
|
|
Default: ``true``.
|
|
|
|
**crypto.gpg_path**
|
|
|
|
Name (or full path) of gpg binary to use in verification and
|
|
decryption of PGP/MIME messages. NOTE: This configuration
|
|
item is deprecated, and will be ignored if notmuch is built
|
|
against GMime 3.0 or later.
|
|
|
|
Default: ``gpg``.
|
|
|
|
**index.decrypt**
|
|
|
|
**[STORED IN DATABASE]**
|
|
When indexing an encrypted e-mail message, if this variable is
|
|
set to ``true``, notmuch will try to decrypt the message and
|
|
index the cleartext. If ``auto``, it will try to index the
|
|
cleartext if a stashed session key is already known for the message,
|
|
but will not try to access your secret keys. Use ``false`` to
|
|
avoid decrypting even when a session key is already known.
|
|
|
|
Be aware that the notmuch 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 ``index.decrypt=true`` without considering the
|
|
security of your index.
|
|
|
|
Default: ``auto``.
|
|
|
|
**built_with.<name>**
|
|
|
|
Compile time feature <name>. Current possibilities include
|
|
"compact" (see **notmuch-compact(1)**)
|
|
and "field_processor" (see **notmuch-search-terms(7)**).
|
|
|
|
**query.<name>**
|
|
|
|
**[STORED IN DATABASE]**
|
|
Expansion for named query called <name>. See
|
|
**notmuch-search-terms(7)** for more information about named
|
|
queries.
|
|
|
|
