Gmime 2.4.x -- what is the value if 'x' :D ?

Putting cursor /here (use monospace font ;) and entering C-x C-e parses ......

           V
(json-read)[[[{"id": "5qt490ipfnbu1z.fsf at 78ca391a1b82.ant.amazon.com", "match": true, "filename": "/Users/edwint/mail/INBOX/sent/cur/1337734168.4985_755109_1.78ca391a1b82.ant.amazon.com:2,S", "timestamp": 1337734168, "date_relative": "Yest. 17:49", "tags": ["inbox"], "headers": {"Subject": "hi", "From": "Ed Tellman <edwint at amazon.com>", "To": "edwint at amazon.com", "Cc": "", "Bcc": "", "Date": "Tue, 22 May 2012 17:49:28 -0700"}, "body": [{"id": 1, "content-type": "text/plain", "content": "hi\n"}]}, []]]]

...... the message OK... You could next try to enter

id:"5qt490ipfnbu1z.fsf at 78ca391a1b82.ant.amazon.com"

into your notmuch-hello search bar and see if that message shows ok.

If that does then just some threads makes the parsing fail.

I have had similar experience: when using gmime 2.4.21 some threads
(note: not all) make notmuch segfault. Updating to 2.4.25 fixed that
problem. You may have the same problem or not.
