Basically, run an arbitrary command when a key is pressed. It would
be fairly easy to add, but I wonder if it would be easy to stop adding
more :-) You could bind a shortcut key to your window manager or
desktop environment that runs the command instead.

The asynchronous tagging will retry after 5 seconds. The notmuch error
message will show and mess up your screen (press ^L), which I would like
to fix somehow. Ultimately, I think notmuch should handle this more
gracefully.

I haven't needed such a feature so I don't have a clear idea how it
should work. There are some patches/ideas about muting threads using
notmuch generally around here. I guess the simplest thing to do is hide
a thread if it has a certain tag, e.g. "muted" as suggested by notmuch
TODO file, unless you search for it explicitly.

The postponed message should be in Maildir/Drafts. Can you see it with
`notmuch search tag:draft'?

Sure.

I'm not sure that's a great solution. Maybe have a key that popups up
an info box, which would have enough room to show the whole subject
line, the list of authors and the tags?

Maybe :-)
