Emacs interface (notmuch.el)
----------------------------
+Switch the notmuch-search view to use "notmuch search --format=json"
+to fix large classes of bugs regarding poorly-escaped output and lame
+regular expressions. (The most recently found, unfixed example is the
+sender's name containing ';' which causes emacs to drop a search
+result.) This may require removing the outer array from the current
+"notmuch search --format=json" results.
+
Enhance '+' and '-' in the search view to operate on an entire region
if set.
4. Fix refresh of notmuch-hello to leave point in the same logical
place, (the same saved-search widget at least).
+Change the 'a'rchive command in the thread view to only archive open
+messages.

Emacs saved-search interface
----------------------------
Here's a proposal Carl wrote (id:87einafy4u.fsf@yoom.home.cworth.org):
notmuch command-line tool
-------------------------
+Replace "notmuch reply" with "notmuch compose --reply <search-terms>".
+This would enable a plain "notmuch compose" to be used to construct an
+initial message, (which would then have the properly configured name
+and email address in the From: line. We could also then easily support
+"notmuch compose --from <something>" to support getting at alternate
+email addresses.
+
Fix the --format=json option to not imply --entire-thread.
Implement "notmuch search --exclude-threads=<search-terms>" to allow
Audit all libnotmuch entry points to ensure that all Xapian calls are
wrapped in a try/catch block.
+Fix the "count" functionality to be exact as Olly explained in IRC:
+
+ ojwb> cworth: if you set the check_at_least parameter to the
+ database size, get_matches_estimated() will be exact
+
Search syntax
-------------
Implement support for "tag:*" to expand to all tags.
Investigate why the notmuch database is slightly larger than the sup
database for the same corpus of email.
+
+Makefile should print message teaching user about LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or
+similar) if libdir is not set to a directory examined by ldconfig.
+
+Fix notmuch build system to work with gold, (apt-get
+binutils-gold). Need the notmuch binary to explicitly link againsts
+libraries it depends on, (rather than just getting them via
+libnotmuch).
