59 This actually brings up a behavior that bites me from time to time. I
\r
60 often mark messages "to-reply", and notmuch colors them red for
\r
61 me. Then, when I reply to the message, it auto-removes the tag (based on
\r
62 a message-mode hook I sent to the thread a while back*). I've gotten to
\r
63 the point where I depend on this behavior.
\r
65 However, when I have a long thread, and only one message in the inbox,
\r
66 tagging the thread, of course, tags all the messages in it "to-reply."
\r
67 Now, the way to do it might be to just change my habits, and only tag
\r
68 while in show-mode, as opposed to search-mode. But this does seem to be
\r
69 in conflict with the way I intuitively want to handle my mail, and I
\r
70 imagine I'm not the only one.
\r
72 Which is all just to say that I think that archiving is just a special
\r
73 case of tagging/untagging, and that the issues raised here should be
\r
74 considered across the larger general case.
