I think this is actually a problem with notmuch, and something that I
have complained about in the past.  It was previously dismissed, but I
still think that it's something we should address.  Notmuch should not
irrevocably hide messages, just because they cursorily look like a
another similar but distinct message.

What are ways that we can avoid this?  Could notmuch append a string to
the message id in the database for the different messages that share an
id?  Something like "id:foo at bar.com{0}", "id:foo at bar.com{1}", etc?

jamie.
