Hi, Felix.  Thanks for resubmitting these patches.  A couple more
comments:

Remember to include a longer log message with you patch.  Beyond just
the single line commit message, the patch should also include a longer
commit message, separated from the first line by a blank line, that
explains what exactly the patch is doing and why.

We've also been trying to get in the habit of sending patches to the
test suite *first*, before the patch that actually implements the
change.  The reason being that we can apply the test-suite patch first,
see that the feature or bug fix you're trying to implement is not
implemented, then apply the fix and see that everything is working
again.

Now is probably a good time to remind everyone to look at the GIT patch
submission guidlines, which notmuch has been trying to follow (also
linked from http://notmuchmail.org):
