I did at the time, and it reported "0.33.1". So I investigated a bit.

If I search for the `notmuch-version' function, I find it in 
~/.emacs-configs/doom-emacs/.local/straight/repos/notmuch/emacs/notmuch-lib.el
as expected

But then, if I look up the variable `notmuch-emacs-version', it is
picked up from
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/notmuch-version.el

so this is why the discrepancy was not reported.

The surprising thing is that there is not file 
~/.emacs-configs/doom-emacs/.local/straight/repos/notmuch/emacs/notmuch-version.el,
just a file
~/.emacs-configs/doom-emacs/.local/straight/repos/notmuch/emacs/notmuch-version.el.tmpl
so this is probably why the global file is chosen.

I have no idea why this is happening… It could be a doom or straight
bug… If you think so as well, I will report it.

Best,

Alan
