Notmuch makes it very easy to access the underlying mail files
associated with specific search terms using the "file" output format
of notmuch search. To find all message files associated with the tag
-"foo" rung:
+"foo" run:
$ notmuch search --output=files tag:foo
you can delete them manually with:
$ notmuch search --output=files tag:deleted | xargs -l rm
+
+## <span id="exclude">**killing threads**</span>
+
+In a [[hook|manpages/notmuch-hooks-5]]
+
+ notmuch tag +muted $(notmuch search --output=threads tag:muted)"
+
+New messages in the thread get the muted tag. Make muted an excluded tag.
+To kill a thread, tag it with muted, run notmuch new.
