The backstory is as follows: First there was sup.  sup is a thread-based email
indexer and client.  It's very fast (which I like), but it's written in Ruby
(which I don't, and I'm not the only one).  So, in response to this came
notmuch.  notmuch imitates the back-end part of sup, but makes no effort to
provide a front-end.  I want to fill that place.

But, I don't want to read the many RFCs about email and MIME and such.  I want
this front-end to be PGP capable, but I don't to figure out how to do that.
Thankfully, there's a program that already does all of these things, and it is
mutt.

The concept of evenless, then, is that evenless provides a very slim front-end
to notmuch: You can search for threads, and do tagging operations on them.
But, if you want to do anything involving individual messages (like composing
or reading them), evenless hands that job off to mutt.

notmuch, to be sure, doesn't do much, given that xapian and offlineimap handle
most of what it does.  But I'm pretty sure this program does even less than
that. And thus was born 'evenless.'

-------------------

Autotools should be functional, so ./configure; make; make install.  For
compilation you'll need 'libnotmuch' and 'libncurses'.

You'll need the 'notmuch' program.  You'll also need mutt, and a way to send
email from mutt.  I recommend msmtp, but some people have had problems with it
working with less-than-RFC-compliant SMTP servers.  For notmuch to work,
you'll need offlineimap.  The configuration will be spread all over the place.

Have fun!
