This is great, thank you (And your message was hilarious!).

Works a treat. One question though.

I already run emacs as a server, so I obviously removed the --auto-daemon
switch.

But how do I pass custom emacsclient parameters when calling via
notmuch-emacs-mua? Adding them after the --client switch doesn't work.

Specifically, I run emacs with this command:

emacsclient -nc -s instance1

So the question is, how do I pass the "-nc -s instance1" parameters via
the notmuch-emacs-mua command, so that it loads up my running custom
emacs environment rather than just stock emacs?

e.g. This does not work:

notmuch-emacs-mua --client -nc -s instance1 --create-frame %u

Since the notmuch-emacs-mua knows nothing of the -nc and -s switches.

Thanks

Aren.
