It would have been nice to copy the survey on the email.

Personally I use mbsync + notmuch + notmuch-vim + vim + msmtp. You can
watch an example session in asciinema.org [1].

This deals with the filtering issue that you talked about in your blog
post, for example one of the latest queries I ran is
"from:felipe subject:mergetool", plus there's tags so I can mark
messages with "inbox", "git", or "to-do".

Of course you can use emacs instead of vim, but I use vim.

Haveing all the feedback readily available helps me address it easily.

For me notmuch is like git for mail.

Cheers.
