\r
64 I understand what a region is in emacs land, but I don't understand
\r
65 how it translates to mail land. Notmuch is not to my knowledge
\r
66 capable of tagging a sub-region of a message, so in that sense it
\r
67 might not work. If you goal is to tag only a subset of messages in a
\r
68 thread, then regions don't seem like the most natural way to do that,
\r
69 since regions are non-disjoint. Would it be better to use some sort
\r
70 of tag/apply system ala mutt instead?
