Re: problem with folder: search in python bindings

Hmm, I'm getting the same results from the python implementation.

One thing to try would be to run it step by step in an interactive session. I.e.,

>>> import notmuch as nm
>>> db = nm.Database("/where/ever/it/is")
>>> qry = nm.Query(db, "folder:sent")

Then, two things to look at. What's the output of

>>> qry.count_messages()

and what's the output of 

>>> len(qry.search_messages())

If you're still getting weird results on both, try dumping the search
results into a list

>>> msgs = [m for m in qry.search_messages()]

and take a look at them. Anything special about those messages?

Best,
Jesse
