2016-06-05Use https instead of http where possibleDaniel Kahn Gillmor
Many of the external links found in the notmuch source can be resolved using https instead of http. This changeset addresses as many as i could find, without touching the e-mail corpus or expected outputs found in tests.
2014-03-30emacs: instruct user to autoload notmuch instead of require'ing itTomi Ollila
When (require 'notmuch) is added to ~/.emacs notmuch is loaded to every instance of emacs although it may not be used in majority of those instances. When (autoload 'notmuch "notmuch" ...) is added to ~/.emacs notmuch is loaded (only) when user invokes the notmuch function. User may want to add other entrypoints to notmuch by adding more autoloads -- the autoload instruction given should offer them clue how to do so.
2010-06-01INSTALL/README: Clean up the description of how to run the emacs interface.Carl Worth
The INSTALL file still had old information about the "make install-emacs" command which no longer exists. README was also giving pointers on how to develop a real interface, (which is not the right thing since README should be addressed to users, not coders). So remove the stale and misplaced information, and instead add a new "Running notmuch" section to the README describing how to run the notmuch command-line interface and how to run the emacs interface.
2010-02-25README: Mention that notmuch only supports maildir or mh format.Carl Worth
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.
2010-01-23README: Tighten up the text a bit.Carl Worth
As Keith pointed out, (with a humorous citation from Mark Twain), the two uses of "very" added nothing to the description. Also, "large collection of email" was repeated uselessly.
2009-11-18README: Mention the actual mailing list address now that it exists.Carl Worth
Much better than telling people to mail me individually.

2009-11-02README: Add a simple file explaining notmuch and pointing out resources.Carl Worth
This is part of getting notmuch ready for a more public announcement.
