LGTM. Things work!


One observation, though:

In search bar the following queries return one match:

id:id:"1332281811-24710-2b-git-send-email-tomi.ollila at iki.fi"
id:"id:""1332281811-24710-2b-git-send-email-tomi.ollila at iki.fi"""

but

id:"id:"1332281811-24710-2b-git-send-email-tomi.ollila at iki.fi""

return 0 matches.

It looks like the (above) search strings goes verbatim to command line

i.e. 'notmuch' 'search' '--sort=oldest-first' 'id:...'

can be used to compare... so that would be CLI issue if there
is ever need to do do anything with it.

+1

Thanks for fixing this.
