ah, i'd missed some of your commits, apparently.  thanks for the
pointer.  https://notmuchmail.org/btsmail is now running my merged changes.


We're moving in the right direction!  Since i pulled these in and made a
few more changes, we've now got the following:

 * we have a threaded view from each message

 * nmweb is configurable via the environment, no need to tweak config in
   the code itself


I've also just opened a pull request on github for you to merge my
cleanup, if you're interested:

    https://github.com/briansniffen/notmuch/pull/1

We're going to need to do some git history cleanup eventually if we want
this merged on the notmuch mainline, but i figure it'd be better if we
sync up earlier rather than later :)


for the record, there are a few errors i'm seeing now from poking around
on nmweb.  in particular, i get an error here in the tree walk when
looking at what appears to be a bounced e-mail (the fact that bounced
e-mails probably shouldn't show up in this archive is a separate bug):

Also, i noticed that just searching by date (with no terms) fails
with a Xapian error because " date:…" gets quote_plus'ed to "+date:…"
and notmuch gets confused by the leading "+" -- maybe we're missing an
unquote_plus or something?



Finally, we're clearly not escaping the subject lines correctly.  Look
at the threading here:

    https://nmbug.notmuchmail.org/btsmail/show/cover.1392309570.git.wking%40tremily.us


Does anyone have a preference for the URL to use for more permanent
web-based view of the mailing list archive?

thanks for this work, Brian!
