Hi, Thanks again for the answers.

I wasn't clear - I don't need different tags. I do want the list-associated tags, even if it only shows me the "sent copy". > I guess the question I have is: What has given you the idea that afew is > tagging one message but not the other? Well, this: medina:~> notmuch search --output=files id:m25zyb89im.fsf@simeto.nikhef.nl /Users/templon/Maildir/Nikhef/Sent/cur/1539098270.M625625000P91131Q71R9d5148db.dhcp-134-239.nikhef.nl:2,S /Users/templon/Maildir/Nikhef/Unclassified Bulk/cur/1539098271.M415561000P91131Q113R5b534386.dhcp-134-239.nikhef.nl:2, medina:~> notmuch search --output=tags id:m25zyb89im.fsf@simeto.nikhef.nl sent So the one in "Sent" is, well, sent :-) The other one (Unclassified Bulk) is the one from the list. There are no list-associated tags. Hence my conclusion is that notmuch and/or afew encounters first the sent copy (maybe because S comes before U?) and tags it, then, when encountering the second file while processing, says in essence "oh i already have this message ID - skip".
