62 I intend to do nothing. It's up to the interface to handle this, if it

63 needs handling at all.

\r
71 The interface could keep track of threads deleted/untagged and adjust
\r
74 Or I suppose one could also implement --initial-msgid, --last-msgid,
\r
75 --num-threads, etc. Set --initial-msgid to the last message in your
\r
76 current view. Set --num-threads to 100. That should do it.

\r
83 Personally, I think users should be discouraged from scrolling and
\r
84 scrolling. Notmuch is a *search* tool. If the mail you want isn't in
\r
85 the first page or so, you're using the tool wrong.
