- Notmuch is an answer to Sup. Sup is a very good email program written by
- William Morgan (and others) and is the direct inspiration for Notmuch.
- Notmuch began as an effort to rewrite performance-critical pieces of Sup
- in C rather than Ruby. From there it grew into a separate project. One
- significant contribution Notmuch makes compared to Sup is the separation
- of the indexer/searcher from the user interface.
- Notmuch provides a library interface so that its indexing/
- searching/tagging features can be integrated into any email
- program. Notmuch integrates very well with the mutt client for fast and
- efficient searching in all your mails.
