Thanks, that is nice to have. Maybe after about 13 years of Emacs use I'll try to learn more lisp than Google-copy-paste.

Unfortunately for my specific case, that still didn't let the '?' key work.

	if: Symbol's function definition is void: mouse-event-p

I seem to have lots of issues in emacs 22.2, but my Elisp is weak enough that I don't know how this ought to be handled.

There is the possibility of requiring 23.1 for notmuch.el, that may be easier, then I'll just stop trying with 22.2

Thanks again,
