Hello all,

I heard about notmuch some weeks ago and I'm already liking it
a lot. At first I was a little disapointed by the slow tagging, 
but that was fixed by Kan-Ru's great patch for Xapian. I have
started using it daily, so many thanks for this mail reader !

One of the things I find counter-intuitive is that on closed messages
of zero depth, the toggle body button is hidden by the email address
button, so when working with the keyboard, it seems one cannot open
the message, without moving further on the header button.

I propose above fix because it is very simple, but I do not like that
we lose one level of indentation on all the threads (screen space
is precious). Another solution would be to change the name-email 
order in the header... Or maybe we should deactivate somehow, the
Goto-Address mode on headers ? What do you think ?

Regards,

Pablo.
