Exceptionally top-posting as the rest is left just for reference
(for anyone interested and loosing the thread context)

Marking this as notmuch::fixed as

https://github.com/notmuch/notmuch

fixes this and is usually up-to-date (I use this link on one of my
notmuch installations)

Interestingly the wiki is also in github (just that it is updated
March 28 -- based on https://github.com/notmuch )
