I think you guys may have a misunderstanding about how notmuch indexes mail. Notmuch indexes multiple headers (To, From, Subject, Date) and the *entire* body of the message. That's kind of the whole point. In other words, messages don't have to have tags in order to be found. For instance, the following two search return just this message (for me): to:notmuch subject:"how improve workflow" from:ced@ryick.net "dirty solution" And none of the messages in this thread are tagged for me at all (except the first in the thread which has a "replied" tag). So don't worry if not all of your messages are tagged. They can all still be found. That's the beauty of fast search. jamie.
