Hello, When using (show-ws-toggle-show-trailing-whitespace) in the emacs frontend on both emacs 23 and 24 with notmuch 0.15, the following occurs: > https://www.club.cc.cmu.edu/~rharwood/tmp/notmuch.png To reproduce: 1. Open new buffer 2. Create new message with non-matching "-marks (this message will do) 3. M-x (show-ws-toggle-show-trailing-whitespace) 4. refresh buffer (=) and you should see results similar to the above with respect to highlighting of the "-delimited string.
