Why

I wanted something simple without needing the ruby-bindings. At the same time I wanted some 'notmuch'-presets (which can be defined in the script) which I could launch with the arrow-up keys.

Remote usage

My email gets fetched and tagged on my homeserver. However, on my local laptops I use a simple remote bashwrapper for the notmuch binary, you can do this like so:

wget "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/coderofsalvation/c60a1cde22d972828d4c/raw/a04ac4e82468d024e5865444292417e4555fd3f3/remotewrapper.bash" -O notmuch
sed -i 's/cmd=asciidoc/cmd=notmuch/g' notmuch�
(open the notmuch file in an editor and change the host/ip e.g.)
cp notmuch ~/bin/notmuch

Now your local 'notmuch-bash' can run 'notmuch' on your laptop (while 'notmuch' actually executes at the homeserver).

Known Issues

• 'show' does not display message which are multipart-messages
