Thanks for the review.

Agreed. Especially the Received: header matching should be scrutinized,
as *all* the Received: headers in a message are merged into one by
notmuch_message_file_get_header(). But that should be another patch,
another time.

Ooops, you're right. The two series do *merge* on top of each other in
either order, but as patches they apply only on master. I wanted to keep
the series separate. Once either gets pushed, I'll rebase the other.

BR,
