I think I agree: this is very closely copied from notmuch-show
(notmuch-show-mapc and notmuch-show-get-messages-id) so it is probably
worth staying the same.

I think this is just stupidity on my part: it should be a defun rather
than a defmacro. Would you be able to test that (or I can send a new
version if you prefer)?

Also, how are you loading notmuch-pick? In my set up the macro and
function work interchangeably.

Best wishes
