60 fwiw, cc: is not a valid search prefix, but I don't think that's
\r
61 your problem, since that would only effect your tagging step.

\r
68 I tried a couple of tests here, and I could not duplicate your problem
\r
69 with notmuch 0.20.2. For me, only messages with the tag show up.
\r
71 You might want to try the following to debug:
\r
73 - compare "notmuch count tag:xyz" with the number of messages recognized
\r
74 by e.g. mutt in the mbox.
\r
76 - if those two are the same, find one of the message you think should
\r
77 not have the tag, and look at it by message-id.
\r
79 - if the two are not the same, find a message in the mbox that you think
\r
80 should not be there, and double check the tags and headers.
\r
83 The to: prefix is used to match the names or addresses of any
\r
84 recipient of an email message, (whether To, Cc, or Bcc).
\r
86 to quote notmuch-search-terms(7). One possibility is the existence
\r
87 of Bcc headers in some of your messages.
