No worries. This is a busy list.

Thanks! Glad you enjoy it, too.

That was the other option. I thought I'd post it here first, to see
whether there would be any momentum for including it in notmuch itself?
When it's simply loaded, it doesn't do anything. Activating it is as
simple as requiring it. Thus, IMHO, making it part of the notmuch
package could be seen as "low risk".

As opposed to the "competition", this package works well regardless of
where in the format string the tags are located. ;-)

Also, I'm introducing a new mechanism for hiding tags from search
results. The vanilla notmuch.el offers this for the notmuch-hello screen
only.


Looking forward to your thoughts,
