The list of tags to be applied by 'notmuch new' can be configured in
the configuration file. This command line option can be used to
override the list of tags from the coonfiguration file on the command
line. You may repeat the option several times if you want to apply
more than one tag:
notmuch new --tag=apple --tag=orange
This is useful, for example, if you have an archive of messages you
would like to add to the database with a special tag so that they can
be easily identified later. To do that, you could simply copy the files
from the archive to the database directory and then index them all with:
notmuch new --tag=prehistory
Tags to be applied every time 'notmuch new' is run can be specified in
the configuration file. One-time tags for individual runs can be
specified on the command line with this new option.
