Again, I'm not a programmer, so bear with me. When I open a "folder" after the "hello page," I see a list of mesaages with subjects, authors, dates, etc. It seems I am unable to operate on items in this list using functions such as the following: (defun notmuch-show-tag-spam() "mark message as spam" (interactive) (notmuch-show-add-tag "spam") (notmuch-show-remove-tag "new")) I get a "buffer is read only" error. However, I can operate on the messages themselves, when I move into a message buffer. Hope this clarifies. Best, d.
