Hi list,
I am trying to check for mails, that are tagged differently from their
mailfolder.
So I am searching like this, for example:
notmuch search folder:1_Personal AND NOT tag:1_Personal
thread:0000000000005613 2008-01-15 [1/1] KIKIDAN News; kikidan
news 2008/01: Willkommen im neuen Jahr (inbox to-me)
That's OK, but if I want to get the file name of the message, suddenly
get another message, which isn't located in the 1_Personal folder at all.
notmuch search --output=files folder:1_Personal AND NOT
tag:1_Personal
/home/ianus/Mail/ingo-2b1-de/INBOX/cur/1362131239_2.9026.cordraconis,U=33535,FMD5=7e33429f656f1e6e9d79b29c3f82c57e:2,S
/home/ianus/Mail/ingo-2b1-de/1_Personal/cur/1361052415_0.30588.cordraconis,U=755,FMD5=2bd412d62930ab474a218128a61bdb68:2,S
Kind regards,
Ingo

The most likely cause is that these two messagefiles have the same
message-ids (so in notmuch's view are the same message). Try
notmuch search --output=messages folder:1_Personal AND NOT tag:1_Personal
If you only see one message-id then notmuch thinks there is a single message
that matches the search. The way notmuch works is that it first finds
which messages match and then prints the requested information for those
messages. So in this case it finds the matching message(s) then prints
all filenames for those matching messages.
There are some patches floating around for improvements to the manpage
but they haven't been applied/reviewed yet.
Best wishes
Mark

Hi Mark,
thank you for your answer, actually I only get one single message id, the
one I get without using --output=files.
notmuch search --output=messages folder:1_Personal AND NOT tag:1_Personal
id:f76b9be792c46795945e1486ccb2b2ab@www.kikidan.com
How about the nextmost likely cause :-)
Kind regards,
Ingo

Doesn't that confirm Mark's explanation? Notmuch sees multiple files
associated to the same message (identified by the message id).
Hope this helps,

Yes, you are right, don't know where I had my head when answering.
And both mails have the same message-id in the message header.
Still, only one of both files really should be found with this search, so
why is the out put different?
Kind regards,
Ingo

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,
