This actually brings up a behavior that bites me from time to time. I often mark messages "to-reply", and notmuch colors them red for me. Then, when I reply to the message, it auto-removes the tag (based on a message-mode hook I sent to the thread a while back*). I've gotten to the point where I depend on this behavior. However, when I have a long thread, and only one message in the inbox, tagging the thread, of course, tags all the messages in it "to-reply." Now, the way to do it might be to just change my habits, and only tag while in show-mode, as opposed to search-mode. But this does seem to be in conflict with the way I intuitively want to handle my mail, and I imagine I'm not the only one. Which is all just to say that I think that archiving is just a special case of tagging/untagging, and that the issues raised here should be considered across the larger general case.
