Maybe its more a question of key bindings: 1. add some special tag to messages 2. filter on this tag 3. do something with the whole buffer 4. remove special tag from all messages 5. close filter I'd welcome a standard set of key bindings for it. -- Florian Friesdorf GPG FPR: 7A13 5EEE 1421 9FC2 108D BAAF 38F8 99A3 0C45 F083 Jabber/XMPP: f...@chaoflow.net IRC: chaoflow on freenode,ircnet,blafasel,OFTC pgp0nZcnONRbJ.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org http://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch

I guess so. I still haven't really switched to notmuch for real mail so I have little experience. I don't quite remember why I would have found it handy when I wrote it, but it was while I was busy experimenting with tagging my existing archive. ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org http://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch

That's true. I always end up doing that way. Though, many Gnus users are used to mark and to massage all those messages at once, thus offering this possibility could help. /Xavier ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org http://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch

I should mention that in my experience it's usually not that hard to construct searches (or filters on searches) that pair down to just the messages you want to tag, in which case you can just tag the entire buffer. jamie. pgpOlNCfSMprf.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org http://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch

It seems like for non-consecutive messages to be tagged, there'd have to be some sort of mutt-style message-marking facility. There was some discussion when the feature was first introduced about whether to go with region or marking. I think I wrote a quick version of both. (I just checked -- that uncertainty is actually still there in the commit msg of 4c9585933 where the region feature comes in.) The decision, if I remember correctly, was that regions are so intuitive for emacs users, and many people reported trying to tag by region without thinking about it, that this approach would make sense for the emacs interface. In other words, keep the emacs interface emacsy. I think I still agree with that, since I feel like having both would be confusing (what do you do when you select a marked-line in a region?) and I like the one I tend toward intuitively. But I certainly see the benefit of the other functionality as well. Best, Jesse ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org http://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch

Python just does a notmuch_message_get_headers I believe, so it will return whatever libnotmuch returns.

It's possible, and works the way you'd think it would -- just select a bunch of threads in the search list, and then tag them. It will apply the tag to the messages in the region. (In fact, tagging a single thread is just a special case of this, with a one-line region.) --Jesse ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org http://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
