Hi,
You should include a reference to the original message, not everyone
will remember the thread.

Looking at the script again, I see I assumed a message will belong to a
single thread. You can remove that assumption by applying the following
change.

Interesting issue. I can think of a case, say a message is cross-posted
to multiple lists, it might then give you more than one thread ids. Is
this the case for your message? If you are up for it, look in
lib/thread.cc. I think the relevant methods are:
_resolve_thread_relationships and _notmuch_thread_create, but I could be
wrong. I'm not familiar with the notmuch source.
As I recall, you are using mutt-kz; does <entire-thread> work from
mutt-kz? I would expect that to fail too. It gets the thread id like
this:
id = notmuch_message_get_thread_id(msg);
Hope this helps,
