Something like this might work:

  noreplieskthxbye() {
      thread_id=${1}
      target_dir=/tmp/${thread_id}
      test -d ${target_dir} && echo "Patch queue dirty. Remove ${target_dir}" && return 1
      mkdir -p ${target_dir}
      notmuch show --format=mbox ${thread_id} | git mailsplit -o${target_dir}
      grep -l "^diff --git" ${target_dir}/* | xargs git am -3
      rm -rf ${target_dir} # "Danger, Will Robinson!"
  }

  noreplieskthxbye thread:000000000000eb4e

But I'd be suprised beyond belief if there weren't a *sane* way to do
this. I might also need some coffee first...
