Hi, Pavel. It wouldn't be hard to put together something like you're
suggesting with the current functionality:
* add a key binding to add the tag "mark" to a message. In emacs:
(define-key notmuch-search-mode-map "q"
(lambda ()
"mark thread."
(interactive)
(notmuch-search-tag "+marked")))
* add a key binding that runs "notmuch tag $TAG_CHANGES -- tag:mark":
(define-key notmuch-search-mode-map "Q"
(lambda ()
"apply operation to marked threads."
(interactive)
(notmuch-tag "tag:marked" nil)))
That last function should prompt for tags to apply to the marked
threads.
Note: those functions are NOT TESTED, and require 0.13 (which is not
released yet).
hth.
jamie.
