This patch series LGTM +1 modulo your fix for Jani's problem with point
placement (which as we commented on irc is only a problem with emacs
24).

Patch 2 doing the point placement is the only one I have any concerns
about: but based on our discussion on irc I agree that point placement
when killing and reloading buffers (as opposed to modifying the existing
buffer) is inherently very fragile and this makes it no worse.

Finally, two other comments: first, I like the ability to turn off the
auto-refresh (since I often use notmuch over an erratic ssh link).

Secondly, I was initially unsure about the amount of churn to get a
global keymap but with other things being moved or added to it this does
look worthwhile. In particular, your draft notmuch-go (keyboard
shortcuts for search) looks really nice.

Best wishes

Mark
