\r
71 This issue appears to stem from the fact that `notmuch-search-operate-all'
\r
72 runs (apply 'notmuch-tag notmuch-search-query-string action-split), in which
\r
73 `notmuch-search-query-string' points to a moving target.
\r
75 Could be solved by doing it with `notmuch-search', `mark-whole-buffer'
\r
76 and `notmuch-search-{add,remove}-tag-region' instead, but I'm sure
\r
77 there's a better way (of which I'm as of yet unaware).
