A problem and a suggestion

So, the webpage says I can post to the list without subscribing, but the
mailing list software seems to have other ideas.

Anyway.  I installed notmuch a few days ago (0.1), ran the setup, ran
notmuch new and i said it found 30000+ files, but no new mail?  No searches
return any results.  What am I doing wrong?

How does notmuch determine which mail is "new" anyway?  I gather by other
threads on the list archives that editing a message does not make it "new"?
So notmuch just gets whatever the first version of the message contents it
sees is?  And if the file gets renamed (by mutt for example, when marked as
read) the filename stored by notmuch would then be wrong?

I'd also like to suggest that notmuch index the Keywords header, since that
is a header meant exactly for being indexed by search engines and for
searching on.  I use it quite a bit.  This would be especially useful if
notmuch re-indexed a message when I edit this header.

Actually, how hard would it be to allow notmuch to be configured to index
any custom header?
