Darn it!  I made a mistake in my original email.  In the test I was
doing I actually had:

notmuch search --output=files path:'dir/INBOX/INBOX/Sent Items/**'

which I believe should have picked up all the subdirectory paths.  I
just retested to make sure that it still didn't work, and it doesn't.

Am I still missing something?   Thanks for the help, Keith
