Hi,<div><br></div><div>thanks for your response. I am evaluating notmuch / xapian for building an application for analyzing in various ways a fairly large number of emails accumulated over several years. I am afraid the number of headers that would ultimately need to be indexed is therefore quite a lot larger than what notmuch currently indexes.</div>

</div></div>notmuch doesn't currently implement this, though it is an<br>
oft-requested feature. One (not insurmountable) difficulty is that<br>
the database would have to be rebuilt if a user-configured list of<br>
headers changed and there are technical limitations that prevent us<br>
from simply indexing all headers. Out of curiosity, what headers are<br>
you interested in indexing?<br>
<br>
The currently indexed headers are described in man<br>
notmuch-search-terms.<br>
