Why not just delete the duplicate e-mails?

That would seem to be a more efficient way of "always hiding them".

The problem arises when using notmuch to find emails across all
mailboxes and create a new mailbox with the results. This mailbox is
read-only.

When I search for email I look for it using my notmuch wrapper notmuch-search:

 https://bitbucket.org/cameron_simpson/css/src/tip/bin/notmuch-search

Once the result mailbox has been made it pulls up mutt on it like this:

 mutt -e 'unset header_cache' -e 'push ",D$"' -f "$mdir"

i.e. it disables the header cache (pointless for a transient folder) and runs my ,D macro, which deletes all duplicates.

Of course such a script name is painful to type, so since I have "+" aliased to opening mutt, I have ++ aliased to "notmuch-search -S". So less pain. I've got a "++" macro inside mutt too for the same thing.

Hoping this is helpful,
