It's caused by the generate-new-buffer-name call in notmuch-show(), it's been there since cca 2010 by 9bee20aed (notmuch.el: Make notmuch-show buffer name first subject...) I don't quite understand why generate-new-buffer-name is called at all there. What's wrong with the existing buffer names and why do we want to create others? :) _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list [email protected] https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
