Do you mean that the > output from the second command is empty? or does not contain MYMSGID? That was poor formatting on my part. It only was outputting the id I put into the first command.

Because when I do a notmuch search for that message by message ID with --output=threads, it gives a different thread ID. > Isn't that what your first command tells you? Well yes, but I wanted to confirm that that is indeed the reason. I have heard in someone saying that debugging is process of confirming things that should be true. Kind regards, Xu
