it's not just newlines. Without using the -L1 flag to xargs (suggested
earlier on this list), it's actually any filename with whitespace.
with -L1, newlines and trailing whitespace are still problematic.
newlines and trailing whitespace are unarguably insane in file names.
But they happen in the wild, and it would be a shame if notmuch broke
with them.
i think offering -print0 or -0 to provide null byte delimiters is a good
proposal.
