Hi Ingo,

If there are multiple copies of a message, I would expect --output=files
to show all the copies (files).  I believe this is notmuch's way to
handle duplicate messages.  I think the confusion arises from the notion
of treating unique message id, and not unique physical files as the
definition of a message.  If you think a bit, seems reasonable too.

Hope this helps,
