bug report: xapian error for message id with '..'

[Jameson Rollins]

I have a followup on this report.  Olly suggested quoting the quoting of
the id, so that the quoting gets properly passed to Xapian, and that
seems to work:

0 servo:~ $ notmuch search id:'"4bd73e8cb3d79_1a3c..fb637ff610e at skinner.tmail"'
thread:000000000000c4cf  Yest. 15:44 [1/1] XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
0 servo:~ $ 

So I think this means that the problem probably lies mostly in the emacs
UI not properly quoting the id string.  What originally got me on this
problem is that I was not able to manipulate the tag of this email from
within emacs.

I also note here that notmuch is not returning an error, even though a
Xapian exception occurred and the search failed.  This is another
important issue.  I'm not sure if I should bring it up in a separate
message or not.  This goes back to the bug tracking issue.
