It is a known limitation of the emacs UI. It should not be too hard to
add the total number of files to notmuch-search-mode (similar to the
default out put of notmuch search above.  Selecting between versions of
a message would probably require a substantial rewrite of
notmuch-show-mode. Such a rewrite might be desirable anyway, to fix the
slow rendering of large threads. It is probably easier to add the
viewing of alternate versions to notmuch-tree-mode, but I'm still not
sure what the UI should be like.
