notmuch search does not work with search term 'id:'

notmuch search does not work with search term 'id:'

Hello,

I have problems searching for a message by its id.

If I call notmuch-show, everything works fine; actually this is 
used by the emacs frontend:

'notmuch show --format=raw id:<.....>'

If I try to search for this mail with notmuch-search, I get no 
result:

notmuch search -- id:<....>

Any ideas?

Best,
Jörg

put search terms inside single quotes. i.e. notmuch search -- 'id:<....>'

Quoting the argument does not change anyting -- which makes sense, 
since searching for the id does work well when using "notmuch show 
--format=raw". So it's not a quoting issue.

BTW, the error also shows up if I just omit the option 
"format=raw" in notmuch show.

This is the ID which I am using for testing:

Can you try

NOTMUCH_DEBUG_QUERY=y notmuch search id:E5-a1wt6bgr-elaine/2/42589-dc960dd3@nlsender05.ui-portal.com

and report the output after "Final query is:"

d

That was helpful! The output is:

Query(((Tmail AND 0 * 
QE5-a1wt6bgr-elaine/2/42589-dc960dd3@nlsender05.ui-portal.com) 
AND_NOT (Kdeleted OR Kspam)))

Actually my config has "search.exclude_tags=deleted;spam" set, and 
the mail IS a spam mail. (I wanted to train bogofilter).

Did not know that such an exclusion occurs. Makes sense, though.

Adding --exclude=false to the search makes it behave well.

Thanks for the help!
