+SYNOPSIS
+========
+
+ $DATABASEDIR/.notmuch/hooks/*
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+Hooks are scripts (or arbitrary executables or symlinks to such) that
+notmuch invokes before and after certain actions. These scripts reside
+in the .notmuch/hooks directory within the database directory and must
+have executable permissions.
+
+The currently available hooks are described below.
+
+ **pre-new**
+ This hook is invoked by the **new** command before scanning or
+ importing new messages into the database. If this hook exits
+ with a non-zero status, notmuch will abort further processing of
+ the **new** command.
+
+ Typically this hook is used for fetching or delivering new mail
+ to be imported into the database.
+
+ **post-new**
+ This hook is invoked by the **new** command after new messages
+ have been imported into the database and initial tags have been
+ applied. The hook will not be run if there have been any errors
+ during the scan or import.
+
+ Typically this hook is used to perform additional query-based
+ tagging on the imported messages.
