The next paragraph of that man page has an important warning for anyone
planning on re-arranging files based on the results of notmuch:
Both path: and folder: will find a message if any copy of that
message is in the specific directory/folder.
It's important to filter the names (e.g., `notmuch ...|grep -Fzv
/.|xargs -Ifoo mv foo $MAILDIR/.Trash/cur/`) before relying on them.
