For me, the bug shows up with messages that have been forwarded by an Outlook user who didn't add any content to the top of the message. The first line of the message is "-----Original Message-----", and the rest is the forwarded text. Notmuch tries to collapse the forwarded content into a button, but fails mysteriously. The first patch in this series adds a test (marked as broken) that demonstrates the bug. I think this should be pushed regardless of whether my solution is the right one. My solution is to check whether we're collapsing the entire message before doing so, and avoid turning it into a button if that's the case. I think this is a desirable behavior, since if someone has forwarded a message without adding anything the user probably wants to read that message. But, I'll admit that I didn't figure out the real cause of the problem, and I would be happy to hear other suggestions. It also occurs to me that this might indicate a bigger problem with how notmuch-wash.el handles messages starting with "-----Original Message-----". Notmuch seems to assume that this indicates the rest of the message is quoted stuff that's been top-posted on. In my office this isn't necessarily the case, since Outlook produces that line at the top of every reply, and it's up to the user whether to top-post or not (and not everyone does). I'll have to experiment a bit more to verify whether a problem (i.e. whether Notmuch hides inappropriate things when someone replies inline with Outlook). Someone please correct me if I'm missing something in how the code operates.
