I've been using them for a while as well and love the feature, but I
keep running into situations where notmuch seems to get out of sync
regarding file names on disk. I haven't done a lot of searching on what
exactly causes this - but the symptom is that you'll open a message,
read it and then try to do something on it (like, save an attachment)
and suddenly are told that the message file on disk can't be found.
Or that you reply to a message and just as you are trying to send the
reply things fail for the same reason.

Next time this happens I'll take a closer look at the filenames
displayed to see what's going on.
