Ahem, I may have led you astray with `async-shell-command', which is
mostly meant to be called interactively -- in which case you usually
want to see the output. In lisp code that runs in the background, you're
better off using `start-process', where you can tell it not to keep the
output:

(start-process "unnecessary label" nil "/path/to/notmuch" '("new"))

This returns a process object that you're supposed to continue
interacting with, but in your case you can just disregard it.

Sorry about that! Wasn't thinking clearly.
