The tag syntax check in `notmuch-tag' function was too strict and did not allow nmbug tags with "::". Since the check is done for all tagging operations in Emacs UI, this basically means that no nmbug tags can be changed. The patch relaxes the tag syntax check to allow any tag names that do not include whitespace characters. --- emacs/notmuch.el | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/emacs/notmuch.el b/emacs/notmuch.el index 0a3bd17..2332c42 100644 --- a/emacs/notmuch.el +++ b/emacs/notmuch.el @@ -556,7 +556,7 @@ notmuch-after-tag-hook will be run." ;; Perform some validation (when (null tags) (error "No tags given")) (mapc (lambda (tag) - (unless (string-match-p "^[-+][-+_.[:word:]]+$" tag) + (unless (string-match-p "^[-+]\\S-+$" tag) (error "Tag must be of the form `+this_tag' or `-that_tag'"))) tags) (run-hooks 'notmuch-before-tag-hook) -- 1.7.8.3
