In [1] Mark showed that the the current code (d7a49e81) is not consistent in it's handling of subjects of messages with duplicate message-ids (or in notmuch-speak, of messages with multiple files). notmuch-search uses indexing order and explicitedly preserves the first. notmuch-show (apparently) uses alphabetical (or at least xapian term order) of filenames. In a perfect world we would probably report all subjects in the json output; at the very least we should be consistent.
