My fault! Sorry about that.

Indeed that was the problem. And your original code *did* pass the tests
I wrote. There are still a couple of cleanups I'd like to make, (like
assigning the subject only in _add_matched_message and not uselessly in
_add_message as well). But I can do those now without breaking the test
suite!

For now, since the test suite is just a single file, it's easy enough to
do:

	cp test/notmuch-test latest-notmuch-test
        git checkout HEAD~5	# or whatever
	make
	./latest-notmuch-test

Though that doesn't answer the question of how to do this with
git. Probably something like:

	git checkout HEAD~5
	git checkout master -- test
	make test

I did this. And before doing it I added a new test to show the
regression, (which the reverts then make pass).

So in my defense, it wasn't my fault[*] I didn't notice the
regression. It was the test suite's fault for not testing "notmuch show"
at all.

[*] Except that I'm the one that wrote the test suite and didn't put any
"notmuch show" tests into it. Oops!
