Is that what happened? No, it happened by intention because what is "original" to you is not part of my freshly cloned notmuch. So I thought good practise is to construct *one* patch that brings the already fixed feature to the notmuch codebase to keep it clean. If you like better, my next patch will only base Tomis and your suggestions on top of the "original" patch. basti
