\r
92 Sure. I keep draft messages in the mail store, and tag them with
\r
93 'draft', and later 'deleted'. I would like the exclusions to treat
\r
94 draft and deleted messages as if they didn't exist in the store.
\r
96 % ./notmuch search --format=json --exclude=true -- thread:0000000000009598 tag:unread
\r
97 [{"thread": "0000000000009598",
\r
98 "timestamp": 1338231998,
\r
99 "date_relative": "Today 05:06",
\r
102 "authors": "Mark Walters| Peter Wang",
\r
103 "subject": "[PATCH v6 3/6] cli: make --entire-thread=false work for format=json.",
\r
104 "tags": ["deleted", "draft", "replied", "sent", "unread"]}]
\r
106 Here is a thread I participated in. From this, my MUA displays "1/15",
\r
107 suggesting that there is 1 unread message out of a total of 15. But
\r
108 upon opening the thread, there are only 11 messages visible: 4 were
\r
109 drafts (possibly deleted) which have been excluded. To the user, it
\r
110 looks like some messages went missing.
\r
112 Therefore I would like search --output=summary --exclude=true
\r
113 to report the total number of non-excluded messages. It doesn't need to
\r
114 be via the "total" field; a new field would be fine.
