Sorry, I wish I could have purged all of these series from the list.
After a very protracted discussion on the topic it was decided that
notmuch will not support any delete tagging operations.  Users who wish
to do so can add support on their own:

  http://notmuchmail.org/excluding/  

I highly recommend *not* re-starting this discussion.  There is no
solution that will satisfy everyone.  Just let it be.  Move on.  Nothing
to see here.  These are not the tags you're looking for...

jamie.
