[feature] afew should be able to apply tags according to arbitrary rules

[0x64746b]

iff afew is meant to be an initial tagging script for notmuch (and I feel like it is meant to be, mainly due to it handling sent mail, killed threads and spam) vs an addon project with classification magic, I think it needs to be able to do some initial tagging ;) i.e. tag new mails according to arbitrary rules. Basically is needs to wrap the functionality of 'notmuch tag'.

I guess people will want to be able to do things like

$ notmuch tag +office +inbox -new -- tag new and to:me@office.com
$ notmuch tag +private +inbox -new -- tag new and to:me@gmail.com

We probably want to read in a file of tagging rules and pipe them through notmuch - format unknown as of yet ;)

1. I love having a config file (really want to use it for my FolderNameFilter)
2. Not sure whether being able to subtype existing filters is all we need?
   How would you implement above tagging? I think generic tagging rules are basic enough to grant them their own filter?

Oh, the commit wasn't meant to close this issue, I just wanted to show where I'm heading.

Well, I just don't know where that is, yet ;)

I'm not sure I'm a big fan of the possibility to subtype (as in write code) in the config file. I'd rather make the spam filter configurable (set threshold, ...).

If someone needs a new filter: write some python. If it might actually be useful to a wider audience: push it upstream!

imho
