Well, I meant changing to the "All mail" folder and then using mutt limit to the message id.

So this > kind of integration is invaluable to me. I have taken your advice and have now set up mutt-kz. I have one question. Suppose I have a message id. How can I have a command that starts mutt and have it show that message (i.e. run the notmuch search query and show results)? Thank you for your continuing guidance and encouragement, Suvayu.
