Dear notmuch developers,
does notmuch remember tags even if at time of query there is no
message tagged with the respective tag?:
$ notmuch search --output=tags '*' | grep telegraph
EA%3Dtelegraph%40gmx%2Enet
EA=telegraph@gmx.net
$ notmuch count -- is:EA%3Dtelegraph%40gmx%2Enet
0
$ notmuch count -- is:/EA.*telegraph/
4498
There is no invisible character or some such:
$ notmuch search --output=tags '*' | grep telegraph | head -n 1 | wc -c
27
I might have done something wrong while experimenting with this
tags and 'EA%3Dtelegraph%40gmx%2Enet' may be a leftover. I
would like to remove it but since no message matches it's not
possible to remove it from messages and therefore the tag remains:
$ notmuch tag +EA=telegraph@gmx.net -- is:/EA.*telegraph/
$ notmuch search --output=tags '*' | grep telegraph
EA%3Dtelegraph%40gmx%2Enet
EA=telegraph@gmx.net
I tried to utilise emacs to remove the tag, but notmuch-emacs
does not show 'EA%3Dtelegraph%40gmx%2Enet' in notmuch-hello's
'All tags' section.
Why is said tag in the tags listing, how to get rid of it?
Thanks, Gregor

No. At least, from when I originally invented the notmuch schema, tags
only existed on messages and there was no separate store of a list of
known tags anywhere.
If something in the schema has changed since, I would appreciate someone
correcting me.
So, I'm not sure what's going on in with your notmuch database.
I tried tagging a couple of messages with the same tags you are seeing
in case there was something in one of these tag names specifically that
was ticking a problem. But things look fine for me.
Here's the output I'm now getting on my notmuch store with the same
commands you gave, (and note that everything is working for me):
$ notmuch search --output=tags '*' | grep telegraph
EA%3Dtelegraph%40gmx%2Enet
EA=telegraph@gmx.net
$ notmuch count -- is:EA%3Dtelegraph%40gmx%2Enet
1
$ notmuch count -- is:/EA.*telegraph/
2
$ notmuch search --output=tags '*' | grep telegraph | head -n 1 | wc -c
27
Anyone ave a theory for what could explain what Gregor is seeing?

Try all of the above with --exclude=false parameter and see if it makes
a difference. If it does, each of the messages tagged with
EA%3Dtelegraph%40gmx%2Enet is probably also tagged with one of the tags
in 'notmuch config get search.exclude_tags'.

Try that with
$ notmuch tag +EA=telegraph@gmx.net -EA%3Dtelegraph%40gmx%2Enet -- is:/EA.*telegraph/
to remedy the situation.

You hit it spot on.

Thanks for your help, now the spurious tag is gone.
Ciao; Gregor
