I understand what a region is in emacs land, but I don't understand
how it translates to mail land.  Notmuch is not to my knowledge
capable of tagging a sub-region of a message, so in that sense it
might not work.  If you goal is to tag only a subset of messages in a
thread, then regions don't seem like the most natural way to do that,
since regions are non-disjoint.  Would it be better to use some sort
of tag/apply system ala mutt instead?

jamie.
