[PATCH v2 0/4] Add refresh all buffers functionality

[Ioan-Adrian Ratiu]

Argh, so right after I posted this I found a bug: for every new window
in which you open the same notmuch-show buffer it creates a new buffer.

For example if from notmuch-search you open a thread "hello" in multiple
windows, each window will show a different "hello<1>" "hello<2>" etc
buffer instead of showing a single "hello" buffer for all windows.

I'm aware of this issue and I'll fix it in v3, however please if you
have time & feedback for v2 I'd greatly appreciate it.

Best wishes,
Ionel
