using gpg with notmuch

[Austin Guest]

Thank you David!

Using `setq` cleared things up. Should have caught that. Is there any way
to contribute a patch to the docs (which omit `setq`) to help other n00bs
along the way avoid the same pitfall?

Also: I'd like to get version parity between my version of notmuch and my
version of notmuch-emacs, but am not quite sure how to build form source as
you suggest. (Tried poking around the docs and couldn't turn anything up.)
Any pointers?

When you say the frontend "ships with the C source" what does that mean? Or
perhaps more to the point: how can I find and use the C source to build the
binary? Once built, how can I make sure the new version is what I run from
Emacs since I'm currently running the version from Melpa, etc...?

Thank you in advance for your patience. I really appreciate the help! Not
to mention the fantastic program! :)

Will try building from source. Any pointers

Is there a way to contribute a patch to the docs?
