💖 notmuch-slurp-debbug(1) 💖

okay bestie so this is a User Commands manual page, it lives in section 1, and it's literally called notmuch-slurp-debbug. yes the name is a whole mouthful, no we are not renaming it, it's iconic actually 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

notmuch-slurp-debbug — add messages from a Debian bug to notmuch 🐛💌

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

notmuch-slurp-debbug [--bts-server=SERVER] BUGNUMBER

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: notmuch-slurp-debbug goes and grabs every message from a given Debian bug and drops them into your notmuch database — but only the ones your database doesn't already have. no duplicates, no chaos, we're organized in this house 💅

how does it do it? the script adds the messages to your maildir, and then it calls notmuch new. that's the whole pipeline. slurp, drop, index, slay. ✨

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --bts-server=SERVER — this one gets passed straight through to bts; go peek at bts(1) if you wanna know what it does, because that's on them, not us 🫶

---

🎀 CONFIGURATION 🎀

okay so notmuch-slurp-debbug wants to read its config from this file:

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mailscripts/notmuch-slurp-debbug

and if XDG_CONFIG_HOME isn't set? no worries, it falls back to trying:

~/.config/mailscripts/notmuch-slurp-debbug

the format is key = value, one per line, very demure, very mindful 🌸

here's the config key it supports:

• maildir — the full path to a maildir that's indexed by notmuch, and it's the one notmuch-slurp-debbug will insert new messages into. it defaults to the "inbox" subdirectory of the database.path key in your notmuch configuration. so like, if you don't say anything, that's where things land 💖
