[PATCH 2/6] cli: sanitize tabs to spaces in notmuch search

[Mark Walters]

Hi

I have looked at the whole series and broadly it looks good. However, I
don't know this code so this is not a full review. I do have a few
comments: some of these may be plain wrong in which case my apologies!

I think it would be worth saying in the commit message that this is only
for text summary output.

Also why only tabs to spaces but \n to a '?'

Best wishes
