Hello everyone,
I would like to limit the output of notmuch show to a certain
amount of mails, similar to the option `--limit' in notmuch
search. But actually, I think the most elegant way would be to
allow a limiting operator as a query term.
Is it a difficulty to implement that? Would anyone do that? I am
not able to write anything in C, so I'm out of it.

I don't have any good ideas how to impliment that in a Xapian query. Maybe Olly
does. One thing that works for some people is to use date ranges. Of
course that requires a bit of trial and error.

It's not possible as part of the Query object, but the second parameter
to get_mset() specifies the limit you seem to want.
No need to write anything in C - you can use C++!
Cheers,
Olly
