I think the 'print0' might have been a mistake on Carl's part. I don't
think that option is actually supported by notmuch. In which case xargs
-0 isn't going to work as expected because there are no null characters
in the input stream to use as delimiters.

This is working because the input stream is newline delimited. So I
think the -print0 is confusing the issue.
