Dear notmuch developers,
does notmuch remember tags even if at time of query there is no
message tagged with the respective tag?:
$ notmuch search --output=tags '*' | grep telegraph
EA%3Dtelegraph%40gmx%2Enet
EA=telegraph at gmx.net
$ notmuch count -- is:EA%3Dtelegraph%40gmx%2Enet
0
$ notmuch count -- is:/EA.*telegraph/
4498
There is no invisible character or some such:
$ notmuch search --output=tags '*' | grep telegraph | head -n 1 | wc -c
27
I might have done something wrong while experimenting with this
tags and 'EA%3Dtelegraph%40gmx%2Enet' may be a leftover. I
would like to remove it but since no message matches it's not
possible to remove it from messages and therefore the tag remains:
$ notmuch tag +EA=telegraph at gmx.net -- is:/EA.*telegraph/
$ notmuch search --output=tags '*' | grep telegraph
EA%3Dtelegraph%40gmx%2Enet
EA=telegraph at gmx.net
I tried to utilise emacs to remove the tag, but notmuch-emacs
does not show 'EA%3Dtelegraph%40gmx%2Enet' in notmuch-hello's
'All tags' section.
Why is said tag in the tags listing, how to get rid of it?
Thanks, Gregor
