I initially thought this wasn't working because the end of my line was
outside the visible window in Emacs. I'm not sure if this is fixable
with a sensible amount of effort.

I think the docstring needs more context in order to be helpful to
users.

What do people think about the choice of 't'? It does something pretty
different in notmuch-show-mode

This probably my confusion, but doesn't that remove all of the
non-deleted buffers?

Since this is the main entry point, I wonder if you should mention the
behaviour with notmuch-tree-overlay-string here.

In general we'd like at least one or two two tests for a new
feature. Maybe Mark or (other) David in copy can give some suggestions
for that.
