Add command line parameter --maxitems=N to notmuch search to limit the
number of displayed messages to N.
These two are equal:
$ notmuch search --output=messages --sort=newest-first --maxitems=10 SEARCH
$ notmuch search --output=messages --sort=newest-first SEARCH | head
As are these:
$ notmuch search --output=messages --sort=oldest-first --maxitems=10 SEARCH
$ notmuch search --output=messages --sort=oldest-first SEARCH | tail
Note that N refers to the maximum amount of messages, even for
--output=threads.
