It sounds like a lot of people are wanting to do that. So it probably
wouldn't hurt for someone who's done it to write up instructions for
that, (or post a link to existing instructions).

I'd say that it might make sense to put these up in a wiki, (and I'll
probably eventually setup an ikiwiki instance for notmuchmail.org just
like I do for cworth.org and cairographics.org). But then again, we're
*already* using email, and I've got this half-baked idea about being
able to just tag useful posts and have them appear on the webpage.

I haven't lost that. Sorry it's taking me a bit to get to it, though!

I think there were two different patches from two people for this
feature. So I've got those both tagged and will review them soon.
