Here's what I have instead in my .emacs file '(notmuch-search-result-format (quote (("date" . "%s ") ("count" . "%-7s ") ("authors" . "%-50s ") ("subject" . "%s ") ("tags" . "(%s)")))) Actually, I did this from the customize-group -> notmuch settings inside emacs. I think the overruns come from a conflict between the '20' that's in the default notmuch-search-result-format and the explicit '40' that you set here. Maybe the code should be changed to deal with setting this variable - or it should be made "internal" :-) /D -- Dirk Hohndel Intel Open Source Technology Center
