The following message (146 kB) breaks the emacs interface:
http://rtime.felk.cvut.cz/~sojka/notmuch/notmuch-wash-tidy-citations-stack-overflow.txt
An attempt to view the message produced message
"notmuch-wash-tidy-citations: Stack overflow in regexp matcherq" and
it was not possible to work with the message.
I tracked the problem down to the regexp search, which probably
attempts to match a very big piece of text (several lines). I changed
the regexp to only match a single line. The result is probably slower,
but doesn't produce the error.
