I meant that we should refresh after one tags a thread (for example archive it with "A" key). It is slightly annoying that the messages do not disappear after being archived. In my version of the plugin it also causes a wrong thread to be opened when I enter it.

Anyway, this is a small incremental change that can be implemented later.. It should not hold back the patch. These patches are already great and should accepted as soon as possible, so we can move forward and synchronize notmuch-repo with Ian's repo and possibly catch up with emacs (sic!) client.

Cheers,
