It would be awesome if astroid allowed us to tag a mail directly after (or shortly before) sending it.

Scenario: I write an email and I want to tag it with something like "waiting-for-reply" or "blocking" so I have a reminder for mails I have to remind people of.

Currently, this requires me to: write mail > go to sent mails > (open thread > ) tag single email.

Ideally we could tag the mail in the "New Message" window already with the known keybinding. If the mail has been sent, the tags are applied to it.

Would this be possible?

Nice idea. This would also be very helpful for my workflow.

I expect this could be done already with custom headers and a custom notmuch post new hook.

(Every email I send gets in my inbox so for me it's just easy to tag it right there).

Right.

What happens if you manually add an email header in the text editor and send it to astroid? Will astroid discard the header?

yes, i like that idea too.

as one uses an editor already a header-like entry would be nice that is retrieved by astroid (and removed) and given to notmuch instead...

Would be nice too but IMHO usability-wise it would make most sense to tag the email via l like threads and mails now.

Coming back to this issue because it would help me so much every day ;)

After a message is sent, it should be quite easy to tag it from within astroid. We have the message id and it is saved in the notmuch DB, so we could basically run notmuch tag +${tag} -- id:$mid by pressing l and tag the message from within astroid. Or do I miss something?
