Just to clarify, the feature proposed in this patch series does not make
the problem worse (as it would hide only fully identical messages, which
is not useful for the malicious purpose).

What I suggested [1] could indeed make notmuch-mutt as vulnerable to the
attack vector as notmuch show, and the emacs ui, currently are (but not
worse than that).
