Subject: [PATCH 1/2] New function notmuch-search-operate-all: operate on all messages in the current query.
Date: Thu, 26 Nov 2009 22:36:49 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1259271410-15336-1-git-send-email-jed@59A2.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87pr75q9va.fsf@yoom.home.cworth.org>
It is often convenient to change tags on several messages at once. This
function applies any number of tag whitespace-delimited tag
modifications to all messages matching the current query.
I have bound this to `*'.
