NAME
notmuch-insert - add a message to the maildir and notmuch database
SYNOPSIS
notmuch insert [option ...] [+<tag>|-<tag> ...]
DESCRIPTION
notmuch insert reads a message from standard input and delivers it into the maildir direc‐
tory given by configuration option database.path, then incorporates the message into the
notmuch database. It is an alternative to using a separate tool to deliver the message
then running notmuch new afterwards.
The new message will be tagged with the tags specified by the new.tags configuration
option, then by operations specified on the command-line: tags prefixed by '+' are added
while those prefixed by '-' are removed.
If the new message is a duplicate of an existing message in the database (it has same Mes‐
sage-ID), it will be added to the maildir folder and notmuch database, but the tags will
not be changed.
Option arguments must appear before any tag operation arguments. Supported options for
insert include
--folder=<folder>
Deliver the message to the specified folder, relative to the top-level directory
given by the value of database.path. The default is to deliver to the top-level
directory.
--create-folder
Try to create the folder named by the --folder option, if it does not exist.
Otherwise the folder must already exist for mail delivery to succeed.
EXIT STATUS
This command returns exit status 0 if the message was successfully added to the mail
directory, even if the message could not be indexed and added to the notmuch database. In
the latter case, a warning will be printed to standard error but the message file will be
left on disk.
If the message could not be written to disk then a non-zero exit status is returned.
