I could not find it in the docs (looked wiki mainly) but one of the 
principles notmuch currently operates that the *contents* of the email
files it reads are not ever modified. i.e. the email files are read-only
from notmuch (cli) point of view.

I don't think this is going to change in pure notmuch cli...

I personally find this feature specially handy as I store my emails
to files named by the md5sum of the file content -- I can check integrity
by the files easily if those are never modified. 

Example poll "log" at the end of this mail to show my usage
in action...
