Quoting the argument does not change anyting -- which makes sense,
since searching for the id does work well when using "notmuch show
--format=raw". So it's not a quoting issue.
BTW, the error also shows up if I just omit the option
"format=raw" in notmuch show.
This is the ID which I am using for testing:
