Ok. But we can preprocess each incoming message right after 'getmail' to
convert it from html to text and to utf8 encoding. One solution is to create a
seperate script for this and make gmail pipe all messages to this script, and
then to notmuch. But It would be better if maildir contains original messages
only, so the question is: can we make nomuch indexing engine to index
preprocessed message while maildir will contain original message - as it was
obtained?
