Hi, Xavier.  I have noticed this as well, and it's definitely a bug and
not a feature (there's no way to change this behavior).  I think it has
to do with there being hidden text at the end of the current message,
and notmuch somehow assuming that it is at the end of the message when
it's really not.

This issue has actually been addressed once, with a patch in fact [0].
However, somehow my patch to split the "and-archive" bit out of the
notmuch-show-advance-and-archive function [1] seems to have exposed a
problem.

I've been meaning to give it a look, but I'm hoping Dmitry can look at
it, since he understands this stuff better than I do.

jamie.
