I think I understand what you mean in id:87efrm70ai.fsf at nikula.org but I
don't have enough knowledge of notmuch to implement what you're asking
:(. I believe these are rare cases because I haven't ran into the issue
you described?

I agree, I figured that would have been a larger refactor so I decided
not to mix it in with this one. I'll start working on a branch that
addresses this.


Thanks!
