I think the 'print0' might have been a mistake on Carl's part. I don't think that option is actually supported by notmuch. In which case xargs -0 isn't going to work as expected because there are no null characters in the input stream to use as delimiters. > So for anyone else who is stuck adjusting the one liner like > notmuch search --output=files tag:deleted -print0 | xargs -d '\n' rm This is working because the input stream is newline delimited. So I think the -print0 is confusing the issue. jamie.
