I guess the better question is, in a screen full of threads matching a particular query, how do I do a mass action on only those messages that match the query and not on the threads? I had the problem before when I was learning notmuch. I went to the inbox, and saw a new message that was a contribution to a thread of several messages (none of the other ones was tagged 'inbox'). The new 'inbox tagged' message of that thread was not important, so I did a 'k d' on what I now know to be the thread, thinking it would only apply to that one message that was actually in the inbox ... I tried to find an option "turn off related messages in search results" but could not find it. > On the button for a part you can hit =E2=80=9C. ?=E2=80=9D to see the var= ious > keybindings available there, including opening the part, saving to a > file, etc. Thanks to you and to Gregor for this.
