# notmuch-slurp-debbug(1)

add messages from a Debian bug to notmuch

## NAME

notmuch-slurp-debbug - add messages from a Debian bug to notmuch

## SYNOPSIS

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

## DESCRIPTION

**notmuch-slurp-debbug** adds to your notmuch database any messages from a given Debian bug that the database does not already contain.

The script adds the messages to your maildir, and then calls **notmuch** **new**.

## OPTIONS

- **--bts-server=***SERVER*

  Passed straight through to **bts**; see [**bts**(1)](/bts/1.md).

## CONFIGURATION

**notmuch-slurp-debbug** tries to read configuration from the file **$XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME/mailscripts/notmuch-slurp-debbug**, or if XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME is not set, it falls back to trying to read **~/.config/mailscripts/notmuch-slurp-debbug**.

The format is *key = value*, one per line.  The following configuration key is supported:

- **maildir**

  The full path to a maildir indexed by notmuch into which **notmuch-slurp-debbug** will insert new messages.  Defaults to the "inbox" subdirectory of the **database.path** key in your notmuch configuration.
