Personally, I don't need the backwards operator (and I don't see the case where I would need to go back very often). For me is pretty useful because I use the iterator as a cursor on an ncurses notmuch interface. So the selected thread is where the iterator is and the user can to go forward or backwards.

This is very unexpected and very un-pythonesque. I fell myself over it: #the below len() iterates and exhausts msgs if len(msgs) 0: for msg in msgs: print msg #above line fails horribly already... else: print No message for me! So, having a way to reset the iterator would be a real boon already now. Sebastian ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org http://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
